Head of the Iranian aviation technology development headquarters, Manouchehr Manteghi, said Saturday that two domestically-designed helicopters are waiting to receive international certificates.
He added that one of the helicopters, with a capacity to seat 8 passengers, has been put on display in a number of exhibitions and found some potential foreign buyers.
According to him, there are less than twenty countries in the world which possess the know-how for manufacturing helicopters, adding that Iran is one of them.
He further noted the growth of knowledge-based companies active in the field of aviation, adding that the number has risen from about 20 in 2014 to around 180 companies in 2018.
