Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company

Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company (Persian: شرکت صنایع هواپیماسازی ایران, HESA) was established in 1976 and belongs to the Iran Aviation Industries Organization (IAIO). The company is located at Shahinshahr, Isfahan. The company has thousands of square meters of available grounds and 250,000 square meters of shops and hangars are allocated to A/C part manufacturing, assembling, laboratories, flight test facilities and shops of preparation for production. The original factory built by Textron, was to produce Bell 214 of different configurations in Iran with a deal that involved several hundred helicopters and technology transfers. Reportedly the contract was so huge that a new Textron division had to be founded to meet Iranian demands and handle the program with Maj-Gen Delk M Oden as president. The work was stopped due to Iranian Revolution and sanctions against Iran.
