grigolosi Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 What kills me is that they actually thought no one would recognize it as an R/C aircraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekko Basara Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 What kills me is that they actually thought no one would recognize it as an R/C aircraft. It's not clear that they did think that. I can't understand the voice-over, but the Wikipedia page states that at the unveiling, the design team said that they had built both a prop-powered and a jet-powered test model, and showed a video clip of them. The footage above is probably from that clip. I don't know if the Iranians ever expected anyone to think that was a full-sized prototype in flight. Again, I don't know what is said during the footage or around its release, but I'll err on the side of not assuming a potential adversary is comically stupid (until I'm proven wrong).

grigolosi Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The actual voice over in the video is singing, so I don't think there was anything of information being said. It appeared to be some form of patriotic/nationalist pride video. It was probably shown to their general public. I don't believe they are comically stupid either but they are very inexperienced as far as aviation technology goes. The current indigenous fighter they have built was an F-5 with a modified twin tail. One flaw in their description of the aircraft is the statement that it is capable of maneuverability but at the same it is so stable it does not require an FBW system. Most fighters demonstrate some form of inherent instability in order for them to be maneuverable But who knows how far they will take this design. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Bariaburu Faita Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Official merchandise? Sorry, not official. That brand of self culture aid has an extensive line of nearly every anime covered.
