India's domestically developed Hindustan Turbo Trainer-40 (HTT-40) aircraft has received its airworthiness clearance certificate from the Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification (CEMILAC).

The announcement was made by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) on 6 June.

According to HAL, the aircraft achieved certification in record time from the first flight. According to a previous report by Janes, the aircraft's maiden flight was in mid-2016 and the certification of the aircraft began in September 2021.

An HAL source said that the contract for production is expected to be signed in October or November 2022. The production could start 18 months after the T0 (date of contract signature), he added.

“The computer numerical control (CNC) machine will subsequently be set up and we expect the first batch of aircraft to be delivered within 20 months of the contract signing,” the HAL source told Janes.

“We have the capability to manufacture 24 aircraft per year across two manufacturing facilities – at Bangalore and at Nashik,” he added.
