Bengaluru: State-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited on Friday conducted the spin testing of its basic trainer aircraft HTT-40 with controls in the aerospace hub of Bengaluru.
"Our test pilots Group Captain (retired) K.K. Venugopal and Group Captain (retired) S. Chakki flew the aircraft for the maiden spin testing at the military airport," said the city-based defence behemoth in a statement.
