Iranian military engine development news and updates

[Raghfarm007]

It has a few moments on the engine in this video... the head of MAPNA says that all Airbus planes from A318 to A340 use this engine.....

CFM 56 that is derived from F110 of late variant F-14 Tomcat's, F-15E and F-16 engine predecessor F101 used by B1 Lancer.
So if and whenever Iran manages to reproduce CFM 56 then there should be only few obstacles from producing supersonic fighter jet turbofan engine.

It doesnt looks like the pics i saw of Jahesh-700. What engine is it? Or is it Jahesh-700?

looks engine core , the one from Jahesh-700 wasn't all of the engine ?

FJ33/FJ44 is much simpler engine.

I don´t know what happened to the Made in Iran thread.... so I am posting this video here:

Thanks bro

MGT-75 gas turbine presented in 2021, 82 MW power.
The announced price is 350 billion rials.
The price of a comparable product from Siemens of Germany is approximately $20 million.
Applying Iran's free exchange rate in early 2021, the MGT-75 would cost approximately $1.75 million, less than 1/10th of Siemens' price.
Of course, Iran's domestic suppliers must be importing the materials they need at a preferential rate, so this low price may not be accurate.
Still, it confirms Iran's potential for manufacturing high-performance turbines used in jet engines much more cheaply than overseas.

"The MGT-75 turbine has improved efficiency by 60 percent over the previous designs and increased output capacity to 220 megawatts, he noted." ( whereas he did not mean 60% better than Siemens, he mean 60% effi in total - what is a little bit better as Siemens build this turbine)

Iran joins world’s top 5 steam turbine builders

TEHRAN – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Tuesday unveiled the country’s first domestically-made steam turbine rotor which is installed in a power plant in the capital Tehran, IRNA reported.

Edit: Whereas MAPNA itself says 59%, so lets take MAPNAs words...

"he MGT-75 also boosts the efficiency rate of single- and combined-cycle power plants to over 39.1% and 59%, respectively."

Very few countries/companies have produced large gas turbines for power generation.
Until 2018, only GE of the United States, Siemens of Germany, Mitsubishi of Japan, and Ansaldo of Italy.
In 2019, South Korea's Doosan finally entered the field, and in 2021 Iran's MANPA joined, albeit in licensed production.
Even China is only finally making small gas turbines in 2022, with technology licensed from Germany (it is producing its own domestic hydrogen gas turbines).
You may have heard the news that even Russia, which has the world's leading jet engine technology, has decided to import gas turbines for power generation from Iran, because it could not manufacture gas turbines for power generation using the same technology.
People in the West made fun of Russia, but in reality, gas turbine technology is possessed by only a very few countries and companies.
In fact, only one company in each of the major industrialized countries possesses this technology.
This is because the price of a large gas turbine can reach tens of millions of dollars per unit, making it difficult to even attempt to manufacture one.
Thus, even countries that produce powerful jet engines, such as Russia and China, have been unable to commercialize the technology.
At present, the price of the F135, the world's most powerful jet engine, is equivalent to the price of an 8 MW-class gas turbine like the MGT-75.
It must be said that Iran's scientific and technological progress is too much underestimated by the West.

Defying sanctions, Russia will replace Siemens turbines with Iran-made ones: Report

The war in Ukraine has brought Russia and Iran closer in their efforts to counter Western sanctions.

it is not known if it will also be for military purposes but in this article
https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2023/02/11/2851808/iranian-plane-to-make-maiden-flight-soon
they also write:

The CEO of the Civil Aviation Organization further noted that Iranian energy and infrastructure conglomerate MAPNA has embarked on a project to manufacture aircraft engines.
Highlighting the good steps taken in designing a homegrown airplane engine, he expressed hope that the final product would be unveiled in the near future.

Iran has been working feverishly on developing an aircraft engine for at least 5 years, but more likely 10+ years based on various information leaking here and there.

Thus by 2025-2030, I would be shocked if Iran doesn’t unveil a working prototype for a medium to heavy class engine.

The fact that the engine development is now being given to MAPNA tells me we are going to see serious production aimed development..

This sentence from the above report is significant:

"The CEO of the Civil Aviation Organization further noted that Iranian energy and infrastructure conglomerate MAPNA has embarked on a project to manufacture aircraft engines."
