IAR 825

The IAR 825 was a Romanian agricultural aircraft designed and built by Intreprinderea de Construcţii Aeronautice (ICA) Braşov in the 1970s and 1980s. It was a single-engine, low-wing monoplane specifically designed for aerial application of pesticides and fertilizers. The aircraft was intended to improve agricultural efficiency in Romania and other countries.

The design of the IAR 825 incorporated features common to agricultural aircraft, such as a chemical hopper located near the aircraft's center of gravity to minimize changes in handling characteristics as the hopper emptied. It typically featured a pilot-only cockpit and specialized spraying equipment mounted beneath the wings.

The IAR 825 played a significant role in Romanian agriculture during its operational period. However, details regarding its production numbers, specific technical specifications, and operational history are often difficult to find in widely available English-language sources. The type's role diminished with the decline of large-scale agricultural operations in Romania following the fall of communism. Further research would be needed to provide a fully comprehensive account of this aircraft.
