Fajr F.3
Fajr Aviation Ind (Fajr Aviation & Composites Industry - FACI) was established 1991. Their first design, the Fajr F.3, bears resemblance to the Cirrus SR20, entered production in 2001 and made its public debut in October 2002. Used primarily for military training, this all-composite four-passenger aircraft is a very capable machine, powered by a 270 hp air-cooled six-cylinder piston engine, but with a cruise speed of only 148 knots (170 mph) falling short of the Cirrus’s advertised 178 mph. First flown in 1995, the aircraft was certified to JAR-1 and JAR-23 standard in 2002 and has a useful load of 1,063 pounds, almost 100 lbs more than the Cirrus.
