HTT-40, the indigenously-built basic trainer aircraft, cleared its first spin test. The spin test is the most crucial phase in developing a safe and airworthy aircraft.
About:
HTT-40 is a basic trainer aircraft that has been indigenously-built by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL).
The Defence Acquisition Council has approved buying of 70 HAL-built basic trainers for the Indian Air Force.
A few more tests are due to follow before the aircraft can get its operational certification, likely in mid-2019. The HTT-40, when acquired, will join the 75 Swiss Pilatus PC-7 Mark II trainers that are already in service.
