Great information on the LCH from designers itself.

Please visit the youtube link and give it a thumbs up. :!:

LCH is going to be an export success.

HAL revives intermediate jet trainer programme to help rookie IAF pilots

https://indianexpress.com/article/india ... s-5595606/
An intermediate trainer jet progamme — to help rookie Indian Air Force pilots transition smoothly from basic trainers to advanced jet trainers — which was shelved six years ago after multiple failures is being revived again, and a new improved IJT will fly as early as April 2019, a senior official from the PSU Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) said.

“The IJT project has been revived. The spin problem, which had grounded the aircraft, has been addressed. There will be a flight in April of an IJT,’’ Arup Chatterjee, HAL’s Director (Engineering and R&D), said on Thursday on the sidelines of Aero India 2019.


The IJT, also known as Hindustan Jet Trainer 36, is an aircraft indigenously designed and developed by HAL to replace its own Kiran jet trainers —- which were made from 1964 to 1989 and are now being retired from IAF service on account of their vintage.

HAL, which has also been building a basic trainer to replace its own obsolete HPT 32 trainers, has developed the HTT-40 or Hindustan Turboprop Trainer and is demonstrating it for the first time in public at Aero India 2019.

“The HTT-40 exceeds the preliminary services qualitative requirements on most fronts and offers a technologically advanced product than its competitor,” HAL’s engineering and R&D director said.

when there were new of HJT-36 program getting closed I was wondering since our plane man IR had hinted that there will be some good news on it shortly, now this clears things.
Have to see what changes have been made to correct the short comings

it was a mistake to cancel any trainer program. one can never have enough trainer a/c or a/c projects. a growing nation needs lot of projects to flower.

what a sheer beauty to read saar. Where is this from ? Source please.

Reminds of an Australian or UK pilot on deputation to French Air Force. He remarked that the french top gun suffered from one critical issue.
Mirages fought against mirages and the ended up getting ignorant about the aircraft capability of other a/c.

It is unreasonable to compare the EWS on a fighter to one that is costing $190mln (for 2 aircraft). Either your assessment of them being same-same is incorrect or you're implying India is paying ridiculously high price.

Was reading somewhere that BAE Systems has helped with redesign of tail section to get over the spin and stall related issues. If IJT has to fly in April, it may in all probability be undergoing Taxi trials right now.

His point is that we are getting the same AIDEWS as PAF F-16s, only that the Indian package includes the AIDEWS + LAIRCM + MWS + spares & other subassemblies (suitable for a large aircraft).

Very interesting find. :wink:
