Business/Finance See other Business/Finance Articles Title: Iran Manufacturing Passenger Plane TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian experts and engineers are working on manufacturing a 72-seat aircraft in a project that started in 2017, an official said on Monday. Secretary of the Headquarter for the Development of Aeronautics Technology of Iran’s Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology Manouchehr Manteqi said that Iran has started making an advanced passenger plane in early 2017. He put the current physical progress of manufacturing this advanced aircraft at about eight percent. Announcing the operation date of this giant project depends on two important factors, he said, adding, “Continuous and nonstop allocation of budget to this project is one of the most important factors to keep it in full swing.” He called on responsible officials to take effective steps in timely allocation of budget needed for the completion of manufacturing operation of this important project. Winning international certificates is the second important factor in implementation of this project, he said, adding, “Effective steps have been taken in this regard.” He added, “Expert engineers of knowledge-based companies have been hired in manufacturing this important project with the aim of delivering a complete domestically-manufactured product.” Iran has made huge progress in different sciences and technologies in recent years. Iranian Vice-President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari announced early in December that Iran stood atop the nations of the region in the production of science and technology. "Now, Iran ranks first in the region in science and technology," Sattari said, addressing a forum on stem cells in Tehran. He also referred to Iran's huge progress in the field of stem cells, and said that the country had been able to take over Turkey and Israel in this field. Sattari underscored that Iran's progress in the field of stem cells and regenerative medicine had opened a door to the development of knowledge-based economy. Also, in June, Sattari underlined that Iran's international ranking in science production had risen from 34th to 16th. "Iran ranks first in West Asia in terms of science output with the number of its college students rising to 4.8 million from 2.4 million," Sattari said, addressing the second Iran-Europe Cooperation Conference in Brussels, Belgium. He reiterated that Iran had made great progress in the fields of biotechnology, renewable energy, nanotechnology and stem cells. Sattari said that there were 47 million internet users in Iran who constitute nearly half of the total Internet users in the Middle East, and added, "Iran ranks first in the Middle East for production of biological drugs." He said that Iran had one of the most successful biotech companies with young and skilled staff aged 33 on the average which exported biological drugs to 10 countries, Sattari said. Of 39 technology parks existing in Iran, Paris Park is one of the largest in West Asia which houses 200 companies and some of them export advanced technological products, he added. Poster Comment: International trade sanctions are great for boosting domestic development; undermines market for Western plane manufacturers so sanctions are a stupid idea.
