"Шафак" остановлен как проект - что неудивительно (-)

Для меня это новость - спасибо!

Добрый день!

Источник не подскажите?

Но тогда для чего, все же, иранцам РД-33?

Re: Для меня...

Здравствуйте, уважаемый ZIL!

Про это было объявлено на проходившем в конце прошло года очередном иранском авиасалоне на острове Киш. По поводу чего был ряд публикаций в авиационной прессе.
Собственно, было видно, что к этому идет - после демонстрации макета самолёта в 2002 г. не было никаких известий о программе. Вполне закономерно, поскольку сам проект достаточно сложен для иранского авиапрома, а сама концепция круглого крыла Мухамедова - весьма сомнительна. В России Мухамедов поддержки специалистов не нашел, после чего и подался в Иран.


С ходу нашел у себя в архиве:


JANE'S DEFENCE WEEKLY - DECEMBER 20, 2006

Shafagh fighter project stays on the shelf

Robert Hewson, Editor, Jane's Air-Launched Weapons
Kish Island, Iran

The designers of one of Iran's chimeral future military aviation programmes, the Shafagh advanced trainer/light attack aircraft, have backed away from claiming that the project will ever become a reality.
The Shafagh engineering team, based at Tehran's Malek-Ashtar University of Technology, now says that the Shafagh is a design concept only - and not even a fixed one at that.
There are no plans to build a functional prototype and there is no customer to bring the aircraft into production. The Shafagh has previously been trumpeted as one of Iran's promising 'secret projects' but, apart from wind tunnel models, all that has been produced after years of work is a full-size wooden mock-up.
The Shafagh itself is an unconventional design that originated in Russia during the early 1990s, when it was drawn up by the Moukhamedov Design Bureau. Unfunded in its home country, the programme ended up in Iran about 10 years ago. Since then, Malek-Ashtar has been charged with refining the initial Russian concepts and developing a functional design.
In 2002 the university claimed that it was working towards a first flight by 2008. However, speaking during the 2006 Iran Air Show, held from 28 November to 1 December on Kish Island, a Malek-Ashtar representative told Jane's that the university could only act as a design house that would not support a production phase.
The Shafagh has fallen victim to the same restrictions that continue to hold back Iran's indigenous military aircraft projects, namely: a lack of funding, poor industrial facilities, insufficient expertise and a failure by the authorities to prioritise and support aircraft building as a whole.
The Shafagh and its peers are also hindered by specific problems such as Iran's inability to acquire modern powerplant technology. Shafagh studies have included both single and twin-engined layouts, incorporating US-supplied J79 engines and Russia's RD-33 turbojet.
