MNA – Iranian experts have managed to design two new types of helicopters that are currently at the stage of obtaining international certificates, according to head of Iranian aviation technology development HQ.







Head of the Iranian aviation technology development headquarters, Manouchehr Manteghi, said Saturday that two domestically-designed helicopters are waiting to receive international certificates.
