I open this thread to document the Products that Iran produces in the field of Aviation and their status as we know todate. The thread is intended as a catalog of civilian and military, fixed wing or rotary wing products (drones not included). If you have interesting photos or videos please pitch in...(The thread will be populated as time allows)

I start the thread with Iran's most recent product: Iran's first indigenous light fighter jet.

  • Function: Light fighter
  • Status: limited production (one or two squadrons planned)
  • Construction: 98% Iranian components including.. Jet engines, Airframe (inspired by F5), Fully digital Avionics (flight and mission)...Ejection seat, Landing gear

Yasin Design make it more suitable for CAS roles but there is one small problem with it . while its the same size than Kowsar its around 1000kg heavier and that's a problem as both airplane have limited capacity to carry arms .
 
Hybrid eVTOL
  • Function: Civilian aircraft. A Privately funded project (SAMAD Aerospace). 2, 4 and 6 seat Passenger carrier
  • Status: Prototype undergoing tests
  • Construction: Fully designed and built in Iran
Note: The test model is a 2 person version and has a hybrid electric/gas turbine engine.

Video is in english and provides more info

It was a platform to learn from..that is what it was..not the first military project that was not viable..but proved useful to learn your mistakes...

With some modifications and enhancements, with narrowly defined mono-mission parameters as a low-altitude, strictly hit-and run (naval) strike aircraft Qaher-313 could be viable. It was never meant to be anything other than something along these lines, and in this sense was not a farce nor a propaganda stunt, unlike what many assume due to not taking into account the limited role supposed to be fulfilled by the platform, nor the largely asymmetric doctrinal environment under which it would operate, marked by pervasive out-of-the-box thinking.

Seriously - this was a practical joke - did you not get the Memo ??????
A practical joke with more modern practical elements such as rear landing gears being stored inside a hull instead of wing which for F-5 and F-20 limited wing carrying capacity.

Main limitation of Qaher is Iranian jet engine technology capability hence if Iran at very least needs to develop from Jahesh-700 a larger turbofan with 1800kgf thrust that has 1/2 or 1/3 of specific fuel consumption of kgf generated per kg of jet fuel consumed which is possible to do, but limitation will be subsonic operation.

If such is done then Qaher could have 2-3 times longer range than F-5 Tiger II if Qaher already had internal weapons bay, if not then fuel capacity can be reduced in order to allow to have internal space for air to air missiles thus maintain low RCS. Iran has domestic radar for BVR missiles but doesn't have compact BVR ARH missiles for something like Qaher.

Another is that Yasin should be retired, Iran should look at L-39NG style aircraft that has FJ44-4A as with such single engine advanced trainer that Yasin consumes jet fuel that could power 4 to 6 of L39NG hence Jahesh-700 based on FJ33 should be upscaled to FJ44-4A equivalent. Iranian air force will get sooner grounded with Yasin than with an L39NG equivalent jet trainer on matter of fact involving jet fuel.
