Irgc Shahed 274
The Shahed 274 is an Iranian light utility helicopter based on the Bell 206 JetRanger family, assembled and developed domestically after Iran’s access to foreign aircraft became restricted. It has been used for training, liaison, police, and observation work by Iranian services. The aircraft retains the familiar two-blade rotor and narrow cabin of its Bell ancestor. Limited public production information and its mostly domestic operation make it a rare sight outside Iran.
