(Ya Hossein) Tazarve (Persian: تذرو, "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, first flying a proof of concept aircraft, the Dorna in 1995, a second, much modified aircraft, the Tondar flying in 1998, with a third aircraft, the Tazarve introducing further revisions.[1] This third prototype was publicly unveiled at the Iran Kish Air Show in October-November 2002.[2]
The Tazarve is a small aircraft of all composite (carbon fibre and Glass-reinforced plastic construction, with a mid-mounted straight wing. It is powered by a single General Electric J85 jet engine, procured from existing Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force stocks. [3] An order for five development examples and 25 production aircraft was placed by the Iranian air Force.[2]. At least the pre-production aircraft appear to have been built by 2008.[4]
