شرکت صنایع هواپیماسازی ایران Government-owned corporation

Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company (HESA), () or Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industries Corporation, is an Iranian aircraft production company. Established in 1976, it belongs to the Iran Aviation Industries Organization (IAIO) and is located at Shahin Shahr, Isfahan province. The company has thousands of square meters of available grounds, and 250,000 square metres of shops and hangars are allocated to A/C part manufacturing, assembling, laboratories, flight test facilities and shops of preparation for production.

The original factory, built by the US Textron company, was to produce Bell 214s of different configurations in Iran with a deal that involved several hundred helicopters and technology transfers. Reportedly, the contract was so large that a new Textron division had to be founded to meet Iranian demands and handle the program with Delk M. Oden as president. The work ended due to the Iranian Revolution and subsequent sanctions against Iran.

HESA has been subject to American sanctions since 2008. The Council of the European Union sanctioned it on 26 July 2010, and HM Treasury on 27 July 2010. On 30 January 2023, the European Union imposed additional sanctions on HESA for providing Russia with UAVs used in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
