Single Engine Aircraft

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Tuesday said a new line of production for single engine fighter jets will be started in India under the Strategic Partnership model.

India will spend a staggering $ 223 billion (Rs 15 lakh core) over the next decade to acquire weapon systems to ramp up the military preparedness. The weapon systems will include 500 helicopters, 12 submarines, nearly 100 single engine fighter jets and over 120 twin engine fighter aircraft and aircraft carrier, defence ministry sources told NDTV.

India's frontline fighter aircraft Su30 MKI was forced to land on single engine 34 times since April 1, 2014 due to engine trouble mid-air, government said today.

State-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited or HAL is in talks with Swedish aerospace major Saab, makers of single engine Gripen fighter planes, to collaborate on the upgraded version of the indigenously developed Light Combat Aircraft 'Tejas' which will replace IAF's aging fleet of MiG combat jets.

A single engine aircraft, planned to be used for flying over the Baidyanath Dham temple at Deogarh in Jharkhand, crashed at the airstrip today with the pilot suffering minor injuries, a senior police official said.
