Owj Tazarve
Template:Short description Template:Infobox aircraft (Ya Hossein) Tazarve (Template:Langx, "Pheasant") is an Iranian-made jet training aircraft, first revealed during Iran airshow 2002, in Kish.[1]
Iran began a programme to develop a jet trainer in the early 1990s, known as the Ya-Hossein project, first flying a proof of concept aircraft, the Dorna (Lark) in 1995, a second, much modified aircraft, the Tondar (Thunder) flying in 1998, with a third aircraft, the Tazarve introducing further revisions.[2] This third prototype was publicly unveiled at the Iran Kish Air Show in October–November 2002.[3]
The Tazarve is a small aircraft of all composite (carbon fibre and glass-reinforced plastic construction, with a mid-mounted straight wing).[4] It is powered by a single General Electric J85 jet engine, procured from existing Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force stocks.[5] An order for five development examples and 25 production aircraft was placed by the Iranian air Force.[3] At least the pre-production aircraft appear to have been built by 2008.[6] After a deadly incident during a military parade in 2007 including the three prototoypes, the entire Ya-Hossein project was canceled and the remaining two aircraft retired and stored at Mehrabad International Airport.[7] The aircraft seem to be stripped down of all valuable parts and only demonstrated again as ground exhibits in 2015.[8]
