February 4, 201313 yr Well the Iranian fiberglass industry is in full tilt. Why does this scream MOCKUP?! Looks a bit small also. Ken
February 4, 201313 yr I like the color. Iran... strange place. Seeing that the US invaded Iraq for no good reason, why is Iran hell bent on giving them a real one? Very strange place.
February 4, 201313 yr Iran... strange place. Ever been there or just turned on the tube? I can guarantee you that every country becomes a strange place if I adjust your reference frame a bit. Or just your perception. :mellow: It might help to differentiate between a country and a country's government by the way.
February 4, 201313 yr It doesn't appear to have any lach j-hooks for the canopy, which itself looks very flimsy and whats up with the drooping wing tips?
February 4, 201313 yr There's a chance that the mock-up was meant to be.. a mock-up. Good point. Quite a few years ago Lockheed brought a mock-up of the F-35 to the open days of the Dutch air force, it also was quite obviously not a real plane.

February 4, 201313 yr You'd think reverse engineering their Tomcats would be an easier place to start for Iran's aerospace industry though. Right you are. Needless to say that the former F-14 deal adds a bit of history to the case and the Iranian role now. I'm glad that some folks are aware. :smile:

February 4, 201313 yr The reason its stealth is it cant leave the ground so radar cant pick it up. Seriously though i think its justa mock up ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI. Type Ratings B-737, ERJ-190,ERJ-170
February 4, 201313 yr Seriously though i think its justa mock up Watch the video. There's a guy sitting in the aircraft and it's wobbling! I guess it doesn't have to do anything but sit there on display to achieve the stated goals. Not for attack, only for deterrence. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

February 4, 201313 yr Moderator Note carefully the stock GA airspeed indicator. Probably has max 300 kias on the dial... :rofl: Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
