#Throwback to when 🇻🇪 Venezuela showcased it's first light trainer aircrafts: the Simón Bolívar 100 and 200 (SIBO 100/200), which are locally built 🇮🇷 Iranian Fajr F.3-B and Fajr F.20. #avgeeks 
The Fajr F.3-A/B is an all-composite 4-seater single-engine piston aircraft intended for pilot training and light transport. It is powered by a 🇺🇸 Lycoming AEIO-540-L1B5 6-cylinder piston engine (300 hp/220 kW) with a 3-blade 🇩🇪 Hoffmann propeller. The -A has a fixed landing...
...gear while the -B has a retractable one. The flap system is of Fowler-type and the use of composites for the Fajr F.3 structure has increased the overall strength while reducing weight. An emergency gear extension system has been installed in addition to the main extension.
The Fajr F.20 is a 2-seater variant with a high-wing configuration and fixed landing gear. Venezuela received these planes through 🇮🇷 Qeshm Fars Air shipments from Iran to facilitate domestic production.
