Looking forward to when Russia finally deliever those Tupolov Tu-204 they look awesome! Iran has 35 on order!

I seriously question if the Russians are going to deliver any of them, especially with Rolls-Royce Engines. In my opinion even if Russians are willing to sell with Russian engines, many in Iran will hesitate to give the deal the final green light.

Report: Russian pilots ordered out of Iran

(CNN) -- Iran's transportation minister says the Islamic republic is sending home Russian pilots who fly for Iranian airlines, according to local reports.

"Sending back the foreign pilots is on the agenda of the ministry of road and transportation and the issue is being implemented now," Transportation Minister Hamid Behbahani told the semi-official Fars News Agency on Monday.

Behbahani added the Russian-made Tupolev 154 planes -- Soviet-era aircraft operated by several Iranian airlines -- will gradually be replaced by newer passenger planes. It was not immediately who would supply the new planes.

In March, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad issued an order to expel the foreign pilots within a two-month time period. Following that announcement, Behbahani said Iran should not employ foreign pilots when there are enough skilled Iranian pilots, Fars reported.

The report did not say how many Russian pilots are flying in Iran, or how many Tupolevs are in operation in the country.

Iran has a recent history of plane crashes and mishaps with Russian-made Tupolevs. Most recently, 46 people were injured in January when a Taban Air plane caught fire after landing at Mashhad International Airport in eastern Iran.

In 2009, a Caspian Airlines flight crashed in a field near the northern city of Qavzin, killing more than 160 people.

The Tupolev 154 is essentially banned in the West because it does not comply with European noise and pollution regulations, but it has a safer-than-average accident record, aviation safety experts told CNN after the Caspian crash.

I was wondering why doesnt Iran buy from Embraer or Bombadier?.. They have a better track record compared to the Russian made Tupolev, plus they are being used by well-established airliners.

One of the problems with Brasil's Embraer and Canada's Bombardier is that they are both powered by powerplants from the USA.

Last year when i went to Kish Island, there was a Russian pilot flying us back to Tehran. Me and my dad asked them at the airport if the plane was a Tupolev and they said no. Do the Russian pilots in Iran only operate the Tupolevs or other planes?

I flew to Kish this past April with a MD11 with Ukrainian pilots and crew. The plane was apparently leased from a Ukrainian company!

تعمیر اساسی هواپیمای ایرباس در ایران
ساعت خبر: 12:17 - تاريخ خبر: 07/05/1389

هواپیمای ایرباس بی جی از نوع هواپیمای ایرباس (A 300-600 ) به دست متخصصان و کارشناسان ایرانی تعمیر اساسی شد.

به گزارش واحد مرکزی خبر ، رئیس هیئت مدیره و مدیر عامل هواپیمایی جمهوری اسلامی ایران در این باره در جمع خبرنگاران گفت:در این تعمیر، جزء به جزء هواپیما مورد بررسی قرار گرفت و همه این بررسی براساس دستورالعمل های شرکت سازنده هواپیما و زیر نظر بازرسان فنی، مهندسی و تعمیرات انجام شد.

فرهاد پرورش ادامه داد: تعمیرات هواپیما اصولا در بخش های S و A B C تقسیم می شود که در هر بخش هواپیما مورد بازبینی های فنی قرار می گیرد.

وی گفت: بخش S بالاترین نوع بازرسی هواپیماست که در آن تمامی قطعات هواپیما اعم از موتور، بدنه و کابین مورد بررسی فنی می شود که در هواپیمای ایرباس این تعمیر اساسی صورت گرفت.

پرورش افزود: مدت زمان صرف شده برای انجام بازرسی ها بالغ بر 55 هزار نفر ساعت بوده که 40 هزار ساعت در آشیانه فنی و 15 هزار ساعت صرف تعمیر قطعات ارسالی به کارگاه های پشتیبانی شده است.

وی یادآور شد : انجام این نوع تعمیرات در خارج از کشور مانند اروپا به ازای هر ساعت کار رقمی حدود 110 تا 120 یورو هزینه دارد که رقم تمام شده برای تعمیر هواپیمای مشابه بین 5 تا 6 میلیون یورو است.

پرورش گفت: این درحالی است که تعمیر هواپیمای A 300-600 در هما بالغ بر 800 تا یک میلیون یورو هزینه داشته است.

وی افزود: تمامی تعمیرات از قبیل S و A B C به کمک دانش و توانمندی متخصصان فنی هما انجام گرفته و از پشتوانه 15 ساله برخوردار است.

مدیرعامل هواپیمایی جمهوری اسلامی ایران تاکید کرد : وجود متخصصان متبحر و توانا در بخش مهندسی و تعمیرات هما همواره به عنوان سرمایه برای صنعت هوانوردی کشور به شمار می رود.

پرورش گفت: هر شرکت هواپیمایی برای اطمینان از ایمنی ناوگان خود برنامه تعمیراتی در طول سال برحسب پرواز هر هواپیما و براساس دستورالعمل های تعمیراتی شرکت سازنده درنظر می گیرد و طبق آن هواپیماها در پایان ساعات مشخص شده باید برای بررسی فنی به آشیانه انتقال یابند.

وی ادامه داد: شرایط تحریم نه تنها تاثیری نداشت بلکه در 30 سال گذشته شبکه هواپیمایی، تعداد مسافر و هواپیماها افزایش یافته است.

sorry have no Idea, cause actually its very high and complex tech that is very hard to achieve.
but I saw a documentary on Iran TV talking about Iran improvement in commercial plane engine.
so at the end the big head guy talk about a program the will start for making heavy and big engine for plane with about 150 passenger.
seems they are working on such a level, but not in A-300-600 engine level.

Thank you AminCo. It seems much harder than i originally thought. I know that the chinese are also working long-haul passenger jets but they've also yet to manage all complex work and the have, unlike Iran, access to almost all western technology. Maybe it's a 10 year plan. Hoping for the best.

I've been looking into what this possible 150 passenger class airliner Iran is working on would be comparable to or similar to in class. By that number of passengers it would likely make it a Narrow Body Airliner for which the following aircraft would be closest to in terms of passenger load:

Airbus A320
Boeing 707
Boeing 727
Boeing 737-300 "Classic"
Tupolev Tu-154
Tupolev Tu-204-300 (not the model according to most sources Iran is supposed to be building soon)

So, just by looking these aircraft, a possible Iranian 150 passenger airliner is likely going to need to have at least 2 High Bypass Turbofan engines similar to the CFM56-5 used to power the Airbus. So in other words, such engines will need to produce between 20,000-30,000+lbs of thrust each.

Now, with Iran planning on building Tupolev Tu-204s soon (assuming the deal is actually followed through of course), its possible thats what they are referring to but if not then that would mean they are building a jet of similar size which would limit how many will even be purchased by Iranian airliners. However, it could be a backup plan should the Russian deal not materialize. Just my thoughts.

Russians will never ever provide Iran with any of these airplanes. Anything, any system that will allow Iran to become economically strong is in opposite interest of Moscow. If Iran goes Nuclear, Russia will have to seat around the negotiation tables with Iran for anything that has to do with Middle East and Iran/Russia affaris. Right now Russians do as they wish without even informing Iran on anything.
A strong Iranian aviation means $$$
A strong Iranian oil industry means $$$
etc.
Iran's economical system which is based on U.S. is very dynamic and vibrant it can kick Iran ahead of other nations such as Russia and East Europe in less then 10 years!
This is not a news...the only way for Iran to be free is to become a very strong military power.
Remember what Napoleon Bonaparte said: "The truth is told by the one who has a bigger size cannon."
Iran has to mass produce missiles, guns, bombs, airplanes, tanks,etc
Iran has to build at least 50 nuclear power plants, each power plant has to have 4 plants
Iran has to sell electricity to the entire Middle East, Asia, East Europe, and Africa!
Iran has to be able to light up all homes, and warm up all homes using electricity!
Iran needs to increase the capacity of its current 100 public universities to 2 million!
The first and for most important part of Iran making progress is to first pump money into universities.
This is how Deucthland made huge leaps, they pumpt money into their universities, roads, and health!
If each Iranian university will be able to accomodate 20thousand students and provide them PhD level education in 40 different majors, in 12 years from now Iran will be a different nation.
But waiting for bunch of low life, blood thirsty Russian criminals providing us with their junk will be nothing but a setback.

Look at Russian aviation, they themselves do not use their own airplanes!!
All of Russia's passenger aviation is Airbus and Boeging!!!!!!!!!

Germany's development model is good, I agree.
In WW1, Germany was able to take on several European powers simultaneously at their front because of a few significant factors present in their lands:
1.) The ability to rapidly organize and execute the continuous transportation of vast numbers of artillery pieces and soldiers to the front.
2.) The ability to manufacture said artillery pieces on assembly lines rapidly, non-stop, with extreme precision.
3.) Nationalism.

Nationalism is innate in Iranians. Conflicts such as that with Iraq brought them together.

But Iran must concentrate on its manufacturing industry. It must be expert in working minerals and modern blacksmiths, to rapidly manufacture its shells, bayonets, armored divisions, and artillery pieces.
To this effect, thankfully, the lands of our people have been blessed with rich mineral deposits.
There is also a certain degree of pride, in manufacturing a product that is hard, sharp, and durable, with lasting utility, that comes with metal working industry.
Processing minerals and manufacturing are also industries which will encourage less agriculture based economy (though that is also important to maintain) and urbanization.

Lastly, I agree nuclear energy and someday cold fusion are industries in which Iran should concentrate resources in developing. High tech industries will help absorb Iran's intellectuals and educated people, and it is crucial in a developing country that the educated not leave for the West. Furthermore, it will allow Iran to export 100% of its oil that remains.

what happend to an-148

I have find this on PressTV about it.

A senior Ukrainian aviation official says Iran and Ukraine plan to cooperate on the construction of 78 Antonov-148 aircraft.

Dmitry Kiva, the chairman of the Kiev headquarters of the Antonov Aerospace Company, made the remarks at the Paris Air Show on Tuesday, and expressed hope that all the planes would be manufactured by the end of 2011, DPA reported.

Kiva stated that Antonov and the Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company have signed a contract to manufacture the planes.

He went on to say that Antonov will produce the twin-engine mid-range turboprop for the mid-range jet airliner.

The Iranian Defense Ministry has been manufacturing a licensed version of the Antonov-148 since 2009.

The manufacturing cost of each An-148 unit, which can carry between 68 and 99 passengers, is estimated at between 18 and 22 million dollars.

Iran is cooperating with Ukraine and Russia in the production and operation of the Antonov An-140 airliner, which can carry 52 passengers.

After purchasing the production license for the An-140 from Ukraine in 2000, Iran built its first Iran-140 passenger plane in 2003.

First test-flown in 1997, the An-148 has a range of 2,100 to 4,400 kilometers.

But I think there are some confusing statements in this rapport, namely that An-148 has a turboprop engine( which we can clearly see from the picture a twin jet engine),
and that "The Iranian Defense Ministry has been manufacturing a licensed version of the Antonov-148 since 2009." I had not heard that before,
and that they, Antonov officials, expect for all the 78 planes to be manufactured by the end of 2011 .

But ....anything is possible.
about the engine, I come to think of it like maybe Iran is not allowed to get this Antonov with its original jet engine (because of the sanctions) or it could be that Iran choose to have the turboprop instead of jetengene because they have the know-how already with the IrAn-140.

I don't think so. Ban engines is not stated in the sanctions. And they are not western or Russian. They are Ukrainian. And Iran's main interest in An-148 was not only because it carries more passengers, But because it has a Turbofan engine that according the contract, It's tech must be given to Iran.

معاون امور صنعتي و تحقيقاتي وزارت دفاع و پشتيباني نيروهاي مسلح با اعلام پيگيري ساخت هواپيماي حدود 120 نفره «ايران 148» در پي كسب موفقيت در توليد هواپيماي «ايران 140» از كاهش 10 دسي بلي صداي داخل كابين هواپيماي «ايران 140» در آينده نزديك خبر داد.

مهندس محمد اسلامي در گفت‌وگو با خبرنگار فناوري ايسنا، طراحي و ساخت هواپيماي «ايران 140» را از دستاوردهاي وزارت دفاع در بخش هوايي و ساخت هواپيماها عنوان كرد و گفت: در حالي كه در دنيا تعداد انگشت شماري از كشورها، توان ساخت هواپيماي مسافربري را دارند، ايران با تلاش محققان وزارت دفاع در جرگه سازندگان هواپيماهاي مسافربري قرار گرفته كه هواپيماي «ايران 140» از جمله آنهاست.

اسلامي با اشاره به ساخت و توليد هواپيماي «ايران 140» در سازمان صنايع هوايي وزارت دفاع گفت: اين هواپيما در حال حاضر در خط‌وط پروازي مسافر جابه‌جا مي‌كند و تعدادي نيز در خط توليد است.

معاون امور صنعتي و تحقيقاتي وزارت دفاع و پشتيباني نيروهاي مسلح با بيان اينكه هواپيماي «ايران 140» نسل جديدي از هواپيماهاست كه تكنولوژي آن مربوط به سال 2000 ميلادي به بعد است، گفت: با گذشت حدود هشت سال از ساخت نخستين نمونه‌هاي هواپيما درصدديم در نسل جديد آن به رفاه مسافران توجه بيشتري كرده و قابليت‌هاي هواپيما را ارتقا دهيم.

كاهش 10 دسي‌بلي صداي داخل كابين هواپيماي «ايران 140» در آينده

اسلامي ادامه داد: همچنين به دنبال اين هستيم كه المان هايي كه هنوز در اين هواپيما ديجيتال نشده‌اند به اين فناوري مجهز شوند. البته صداي اين هواپيما در داخل فرودگاه‌ها و عبور از اورپسينگ و داخل كابين مطابق استانداردهاي بين‌المللي است اما ممكن است كه داخل كابين براي مردم ما مطلوبيت نداشته باشد كه به دنبال اين هستيم كه صداي داخل كابين را 10 دسيبل كاهش دهيم كه در حال حاضر پروژه تحقيقاتي آن انجام و هم اكنون نمونه آزمايشي آن در حال تست است كه در اين صورت آسايش مسافران بيشتر خواهد شد.

وي گفت: در زمينه طراحي و ساخت هواپيما به دنبال اين هستيم كه نياز ايران و كشورهاي دوست را در دو كلاس هواپيما تامين كنيم.

آغاز طراحي نسل جديد هواپيماي «ايران 140» با ظرفيت حدود 120 نفر

اسلامي در گفت‌و‌گو با ايسنا ادامه داد: در حال حاضر هواپيماي 52 نفره «ايران 140» توليد مي‌شود كه در نسل بعدي اين هواپيما ظرفيت را به حدود 120 نفر افزايش خواهيم داد اما در ساخت هواپيماهاي پهن پيكر و بزرگتر مشاركت با شركت‌هاي ديگر جزو اهداف وزارت دفاع است.

وي با بيان اين كه در گام بعدي، ساخت هواپيماي حدود 120 نفره «ايران 148» دنبال مي‌شود، افزود: در آ‌ينده اين نوع هواپيما بازار داخلي كشور را اشباع مي كند و وارد حوزه صادرات مي شود به طوري كه در حال حاضر هواپيماي «ايران 140» براساس قراردادهاي فروش آماده صادرات است.

In persian article, Iranian official says they are going to design(!) new 120 seat gen. of Iran-140 with the name of IrAn-148.
but we know An-148 has already designed and built by Antonov. but even enlarged version of An-148 is 99 seats not 120 seats.

In persian article he says Iran they are working on a project to decreae 10 db noise inside of passenger cabin of IrAn-140 aircraft.
