Iran Unveils First Home-Made Light Plane

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran unveiled its first home-made double-engine light plane Monday morning.


The one-manned plane, named 'Faez', has a full composite structure and weights 175kg. With a maximum speed of 220 km/h and a light structure, the plane enjoys high flexibility and maneuverability.

An emergency parachute has been planted inside the plane to rescue the plane and its pilot in emergencies. The plane can be assembled and brought into operation in less than 5 minutes.

Among other features, designers said that extra fuel tanks can also be installed in wings and the body. High mobility as well as its cheap price are among other features of the plane.

Faez which enjoys an amphibious landing capability is capable of carrying reconnaissance tools and equipments, medical cargoes and mail parcels, and designers said that these capabilities and its other potentials have made it an appropriate choice not only for patrolling and surveillance missions, but also for sports and recreational purposes.

Iran Unveils First Home-Made Light Plane

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran unveiled its first home-made double-engine light plane Monday morning.

Looks pretty cool... any idea on which engines are used and how much it costs?

 

[Owais]

looks decent plane but it would be better if they develope light heli instead of plane as it requires no runway

 

[Abi]

They already build light attack helicopters.

They already build light attack helicopters.

and also an aircraft called HESA which looks pretty similar to F-18 and they also compare it with F-18

isnt it too small like a baby car or a foxy

by the way best of luck

 

[bozorgmehr]

This is a small insignificant project. Iran already produces nicer two-seat planes. So I don't know why they made such an unveiling for it. But it does look cute and snuggly

 

[Abi]

I don't know either, maybe it is to do with 22 of bahman. We make a few turboprop planes as well as a trainer aircraft which uses jet engines and we can also produce An F-5 from scratch.
