Owj Tazarve
The Ya Hossein Tazarve (including Taz- arv, German: Pheasant ) is a two-seat trainer aircraft of the Iranian manufacturer Owj from the beginning of the 1990s. The trainer is produced in the framework of the Ya- Hossein program and is so far only by the Iranian Air Force (Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force, IRIAF ) was used. Due to the Western embargo the IRIAF is forced to carry out their own development and for the training component. Production is the engine in the 1987 founded and controlled by the IRIAF Owj company, which is also known as Owj Industrial Complex.
History
The first public demonstration of Tazarve took place from 30 October to 3 November 2002 at the Airshow on the island of Kish instead. The Tazarve was developed by a design team that in the Ya- Hossein plants is located on the west side of Tehran's Mehrabad airport. The first project work began in the early 1990s and until 2003, three proof of concept machines were completed. The first copy, referred to as " Dorna ", was completed in about 1995. Problems with the production and maintenance led to a substantial redesign of the second machine. This " Tondar " called copy flew for the first time about 1998. Further changes to the fuselage, wings and onboard systems were implemented in the third machine, which received the final name " Tazarve " and is produced since 1998.
The IRIAF should have ordered five pre-series and 25 series aircraft.
Construction
According to the development team the Tazarve is the first jet aircraft, which is made entirely of composite materials, mainly from glass fiber and carbon fiber reinforced plastics. Wings, fuselage and tail section are manufactured separately and then screwed together. Wings and tail are made of resin-bonded material. All load-bearing structural elements are made of carbon fiber materials
It is driven by a Einwellenstrahltriebwerk of type J85 - 17; the same engine is used in Iran and in the Cessna T -37 and 20 should come from remaining stocks of the IRIAF. In the planning is the replacement of this technologically outdated engine by the Honeywell TFE731 -2A turbofan. Since it is not possible to obtain this in the U.S., it is provided to include China suppliers because the TFE731 is also used in the Chinese coach K-8.
The avionics consists partly of older U.S. elements and some parts that are produced in Iran, such as UHF / VHF radio equipment. There are two built-in ejector seats of the type Martin Baker Mk 15 which were actually designed specifically for use in the Pilatus PC-7/PC-9-Familie of training aircraft.
