The aviation industry enterprises of the Islamic Republic of Iran demonstrate only civil products and services at the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS-2019, said Dawud Najafi, Head of Trade and International Affairs of the Iranian Aeronautical Industry Organization.
"All the products we present at MAKS are for civilian use, including helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles and training aircraft. This is the second time in a row that we are participating in the exhibition in Russia, and we are pleased to present the capabilities of our aviation industry and discuss the prospects for cooperation," he said.
Dawud Najafi said that the presented Sorena and Shahed 278 light helicopters are designed for passenger and cargo transportation and aviation works. They can also be used to train civilian pilots.
An important place in the exposition was occupied by unmanned aerial vehicles. Scale models of four aircraft of various sizes are presented. According to Davud Najafi, they are designed to perform monitoring tasks in agriculture, oil and gas industry. Photo and video cameras are used as the target payload.
Mr. Dawud Najafi especially drew attention to the model of Mobin unmanned aerial vehicle, which was misreported by the media as a weapon sample. "One of the unmanned aerial vehicles displayed at the exhibition is only being designed, and we are presenting its model at the exhibition. Our designers are creating a project that will be used to monitor objects in hard-to-reach areas at a great distance, for example, to monitor oil and gas fields," he said. Dawud Najafi added that the appearance of the aircraft may change in the course of design work.
Also in the exposition of the Islamic Republic of Iran there are services of organizations specializing in maintenance and repair of civil aircraft, their units and systems. "We independently satisfy the needs of our civil aviation in all types of work, including maintenance and repair. For this purpose, we have mastered modern technologies for the production of aviation components and spare parts," said Dawud Najafi.
