BENGALURU: Hindustan Aeronautics Limited HAL has rolled-out the first prototype of Hindustan Turboprop Trainer (HTT-40)--tandem seat trainer aircraft--with the aircraft sporting all the aircraft lights and powered on cockpit.

T Suvarna Raju, CMD, HAL said that the HTT-40 prototype efforts symbolizes the renewed and revitalized proactive approach at HAL. “It is important that all of us work towards meeting deadlines by overcoming challenges to meet the expectations at various levels. The project has managed to steer through the initial headwinds and now is going full throttle. There are plans to weaponize and optimize HTT-40 aircraft”, he added.

The roll-out of prototype took place recently from the equipping facility at Aircraft Research and Design Centre (ARDC) hangar through a remotely operated minicar. HAL Board members were present along with members from Flight Operations, IAF-IPMT(integrated project management team) headed by Air Marshal Rajesh Kumar, Regional Center for Military Airworthiness (RCMA) and Regional Director of Quality Assurance (RDQA).

The aircraft is now ready for undertaking ground runs and taxi trials to be followed by its maiden flight. HTT-40 is being developed at HAL for the first stage training of rookie pilots.

Looks like PC-7mk2 but with more powerful engines.

Oh please HAL. Make it operational and then talk.

 

[Rajaraja Chola]

Congrats. Ever since the induction of Tejas, HAL mood has pumped up. I hope they do not delay other projects as well.

Reaction of Haters:

I'd say wait till it becomes operational- remember Sitara, HAL can f**k things up after they roll it out too.

 

[zambino]

Hal deliver sitara first.

 

[sathya]

Did it overcame stall and spin issues, or it's still to overcome ?

 

[Skull and Bones]

This is impressive, never thought HAL could deliver something this fast. I can see a Sitara prototype in the back ground, is that project still on?

 

[Ankit Kumar]

Did it overcame stall and spin issues, or it's still to overcome ?

No first flight yet, so no one can say that if it has any issues or not. Stall and spin, I think this was the concern for IJT.

 

[Tshering22]

Sitara needs to be expedited first.

All the best. And please don't delay HTT-40 like everything else. Develop and induct them in 2-3 years time.
