HAL’s debutants, Swedish SAAB’s products eye Aero India success

While the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas—now finally inducted into the Indian Air Force (IAF)—will be flying at the 11th edition of Aero India, defence PSU Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) will also be debuting new metal birds, while its partner SAAB, a Swedish firm supply equipment to the armed forces since mid 1970s will showcase its strength.

The highlight from HAL will be a mock-up of its proposed Indian Multi-Role Helicopter (IMRH), which it hopes will be bagged by the army and the navy, both of whom have shown interest for a big-lift next generation chopper.

“The project is at its initial stages, and we (HAL) have taken it up ourselves. The Army and the navy have shown interest for choppers in this class and we hope that our helicopter will meet their expectations,” a senior HAL official said.
Among the debutants are the indigenously developed Basic Trainer Aircraft, the HTT-40, the light utility helicopter (LUH), the indigenously upgraded Hawk-i and Jaguar, all of which will be flying for the first time at Aero India.
