IAR 99 UN PROIECT 100 % ROMANESC- CAND ? CUM ? UNDE ? DE CE ? DE CE NU ? OARE AR FI FOST MAI BINE ?
Daca va intereseaza raspunsurile la aceste intrebari si discutiile pe aceste teme, va invit cu placere si bucurie pe acest blog.
Nu cred ca cineva din SUA sau Australia intelege de unde vine si numele AVIOANE ( pe deasupra si Craiova) in titulatura acestui minunat avion.
De fapt nici noi nu prea stim ce le-a venit astora sa-l boteze asa, caci oricum noi nu le-am cerut-o deloc
.Aici au stabilit un nou record mondial de viteza :

In tumultuoasa sa istorie, Avioane Craiova a incercat in cateva momente sa intre intr-o nisa mica de piata, cea a avioanelor replica sau de colectie.
Rezultatul a fost construirea , sau refacerea unor avioane sovietice YAK- 3U sau YAK -11, pastrand proiectul de structura originala , dar echipate cu motoare Pratt &Whitney, cam de doua ori mai puternice fata de motorul original si cu o elice mult mai performanta . Rezultatul a fost un avion "de curse" folosit in SUA la competitiile de la Reno, unde inca se mai zboara ca pe vremea lui Vlaicu in jurul a noua piloni , desigur pe clase de competitori, pe primul loc fiind desigur viteza.
Avionul din imagine a fost construit la Avioane in 2005 si este cel care a batut recordul detinut de Howard Hughes in 1935 ( filmul AVIATORUL cu Leonardo DiCaprio ) la clasa sub 6000 pounds . ( 2800 kg)
In link e un film superb

Acest avion a fost vandut si zboara acum in Australia .
Will Whiteside, the former airline pilot whose day job is flying members of Sonoma County's prominent Trione and Codding families wherever they need to go, has always been a fast climber.
Whiteside, 40, just raised his own bar. Taking off from the Charles Schulz-Sonoma County Airport, he and his race team set four world records this week by pushing their Romanian-built fighter — named Steadfast — to great heights in very little time.
Whiteside reached 3,000 meters — nearly 10,000 feet — in two minutes, five seconds. The previous record for a propeller-driven, radial-engine airplane in the same weight class as Steadfast was three minutes, 33 seconds.
Bravo SRI-ului care in 1995 a sesizat Parchetul despre fabricatia acestui avion ca fiind destinat transportului de droguri in Columbia, avion nici militar nici civil, oricum foarte suspect la nivelul de intelegere de atunci al " specialistilor " in aviatie , Programul a fost stopat dupa fabricarea a 5 avioane si reluat in 2005.
