The prowess and agility of India’s defense aircraft, built mostly with indigenous components, will be on display in Bengaluru on Monday, the inaugural day of Aero India 2025.
The aerial display will start at 10.20 am on the inaugural day.
Six acts are planned for the inaugural aerial display, including intricate maneuvers by HAL Tejas LCA Mk 1A, considered a shining example of India’s stride in indigenous aerospace technology and defense self-reliance, according to Aero India website.
Developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Tejas Mk 1A is an advanced version of the Light Combat Aircraft and it is designed to meet the operational requirements of the Indian Air Force (IAF).
HAL’s HTT-40 or Hindustan Turbo Trainer-40, which is used for primary flight training, aerobatics and instrument flying, will also put on a show on the inaugural day. With over 80 per cent of the aircraft’s components, including airframe, avionics and landing gear, domestically designed and manufactured, when HTT-40 flies in the air tomorrow, it will truly be shot in the arm for ‘Make-in-India’ movement.
