Excellent then. Hope they complete spin test soon and fly IJT in coming Aero India. These types of aircraft have huge potential and when weaponized even more.

Date this Vayu's interview please. ..................

^^^ I can't find that link yet, but definitely i have read something about turbofan version. Besides, why we are behind in aviation engine? I won't repeat myself again. But will say, greater section of military-politico combine was against development of LCA back in 80. Had they been...

See what HTFE truly is as of now is just core. The same core will be used for HTFE. It is just the transmission and adaptor modules that needs to be developed for HTSE. But before that happens you need to bring 'core' to satisfactory level first. As for Turboprop version. Well i am failing to...

^^^^ Well HAL is developing HTFE precisely for that purpose. However it is other thing that same core will be used in developing HTSE for Helicopters and HTPE for BTT kind and LTA SARAS kind aircrafts.

Undergoing spin tests tests i believe.

Well they might use de-rated version. But HJT-39 is twin engine jet as evident from scan photo above. HTFE should be flexible enough. Afterall whole purpose behind development of HTFE is to get good hold on its jet trainer segment. Second possiblity is, HAL might conceive HJT-39 as YAK-130 kind...

It's basically a twin engine version of HJT-36 with good percentage of borrowing of avionics and cockpit systems from LCA -T MK-1. With HAL 25-30 KN turbofan undergoing development there is good chance of this product meeting success in international market as well. I hope HAL repeats its...

There is also something called HJT-39 CAT in pipeline. HAWK experience will of great help to HAL. Since it is almost certain that IAF won't support this program, in all likelihood it will be HAL funded program. However a CTOBAR version of HJT-39 could be sold to NAVY for training its pilots for...

#Stringent Swiss end-user restrictions prohibit weaponising the PC-7 Mark II. HAL has armed version in pipeline since inception of this project. Its armed version will be sold to countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, African countries and anyone with requirement for Light attack aircraft. #...

A source will be much appreciated. Besides if you are referring to that time when IAF was desperate to kill HTT-40 then like to say that, that time has passed. Today HTT-40 as BTT is very competitive and on par with Pilatus-PC -7 MK-2 BTT. Its armed version will be in class of super Tucano and KA-1.

^^^ how much heavy than specified weight. Source please.

Now when had maiden flight, lets not forget efforts of Ajai Shukla of Business Standards and BROADSWORD. He was momentous in supporting this project when IAF was hell bent on killing it.

LUH has great potential in civil market if HAL gets FAR certification for LUH soon after its gets certified by DGCA. I am sure its price will be significantly less than competing models from Bell. Its ultra high altitude performance is where its technical edge lies. And with dedicated helicopter...

This together with LUH should become our flagship export. They have every potential. I just hope MOD creats a dedicated export agency like ROSOBORONEXPORT.

Not undertaking HTT-40 project forward will mean repeating same HTT-35---> HPT-32--->Pilatus-7MKII story all over again. We all know that trainers are not like fighters and they wear far quickly than frontline fighters, especially the BPT kind. And in organization like IAF (which trains...
