The Iranian-made plane Simorgh has officially started its test flights as the aircraft prepares to join the country\u2019s cargo fleet.<\/p>\n

\n

Tehran – hambastegimelli – Simorgh\u2019s test flights began in an airfield in the city of Shahin Shahr in central Iran on Tuesday after a ceremony attended by deputy heads of Iran\u2019s ministries of defense and transportation.<\/p>\n

The plane has to carry out 100 hours of test flights in various circumstances to get a final permit to join Iran\u2019s aviation fleet, according to a statement from Iran’s\u00a0Civil Aviation Organization (CAA).<\/p>\n

CAA chief Hossein Pourfarzaneh said on Tuesday that Simorgh, whose indigenization process has taken more than 15 years, ranks\u00a0Iran among fewer than 20 countries in the world that have the capability to design and manufacture aircraft.<\/p>\n

Simorgh, named after a mythical bird in Persian mythology and literature, is equipped with two 2,500-horsepower engines that can carry 6 metric tons (mt) of cargo over a distance of 3,900 kilometers, while its maximum takeoff weight is\u00a021.5 mt.<\/p>\n

The plane carried out a fast-taxi test in May 2022, a year before it conducted its maiden flight.<\/p>\n

Since then, the Iranian defense ministry, which is in charge of manufacturing Simorgh, has been trying to receive a test certificate for the plane from the CAA, a process that has involved obtaining a type certificate, a document that signifies the plane’s airworthiness.<\/p>\n

Experts say Simorgh is a modified version of IrAn-140, an Iranian-Ukrainian joint project which is itself based Antonov An-140. However, former CAA officials have disputed that view, saying it is quite a different plane as it enjoys a modified engine and fuselage.<\/p>\n

Simorgh has been described as an agile, light, and quick plane with a high cargo carriage capacity that is compatible with Iran\u2019s weather conditions, making it a perfect choice for critical services like medical flights.<\/p>\n

Authorities say the aircraft will boost the capacity of Iranian ground and navy forces to transport troops or equipment between their bases across the country.<\/p>\n

They also believe that Simorgh can join Iran\u2019s fleet of short-haul passenger jets in the future.<\/p>\n

Reports in recent years have pointed to major achievements in Iran\u2019s aircraft production and maintenance industry.<\/p>\n

That has come against the backdrop of sanctions imposed on Iran, which prevent airlines in the country from purchasing new planes or aircraft parts.<\/p>\n
