Iranian transport plane to be operational soon: Minister
The Iranian transport plane will officially join the country’s fleet afterwards, he added.
The minister noted that the second Simorgh aircraft is now being made in Iran, pointing to cooperation with a number of foreign countries in the manufacturing process.
Simorgh successfully completed its maiden flight in May 2023, a year after it was unveiled.
The aircraft has been designed and manufactured by the Iran Aviation Industries Organization, a subsidiary of the Iranian Defense Ministry.
Authorities say the development of this plane aims to enhance the country's defensive capabilities.
