Fajr F.3 (Persian: فجر اف.۳‎) is an Iranian full composite four-seat training/touring aircraft built by Fajr Aviation & Composites Industry. First flown in 1995, production commenced in 2001 after the aircraft was certified to JAR-23 standard. It has been speculated that it is a copy/modification of the Cirrus SR-20.[1]

Design and development

The aircraft features a cantilever low-wing, a single-seat, a four-seat cabin accessed by gull-winged doors, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[2]

The aircraft is made from composite material. Its 10.50 m (34.4 ft) span wing mounts flaps. The standard engine used is the 270 hp (201 kW) Lycoming AEIO-540-L185 four-stroke powerplant.[2]
