TEM Toloue-4
The Toloue-4 (Persian: طلوع, Dawn) is one of the first indigenously produced jet engines in Iran. The Toloue-4 mini turbojet is being built at Iran Aircraft Industries's (IACI) engine industries (TEM).
The engine is a copy of the French Microturbo TRI 60 engine and is used in Noor (missile) anti-ship cruise missiles as well as UAVs.[1][2] It is a three-stage axial design with a length of 1.3m that can produce 3.7 kN of thrust at 29,500 RPM and weights 54.7 kg.[3] A throttleable and more durable version named Toloue-5 is also in development.[4]
