India, Russia sign deal for transport plane JV
INDIA-RUSSIA
New Delhi, Sep 10 (PTI) India and Russia have signed an
agreement for setting up a Rs 2,900-crore joint venture to
co-develop and co-produce a military multi-role transport
aircraft (MTA) for their armed forces.
India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Russia's
United Aircraft Corporation (UAC)-Rosoboronexport officials
signed the agreement here on Thursday, according to a HAL
press release.
Approved as a joint project by both India and Russia, the
aircraft would have a 15-tonne to 20-tonne payload capacity
and would meet the requirements of the Indian Air Force and
the Russian Air Force.
The two countries plan to manufacture 205 MTAs soon after
its development.
The MTA is likely to have a maximum takeoff weight of 65
tonnes touching cruise speeds of 800 kmph with a 2,500 km to
2,700 km range.
The aircraft, with two engines and state-of-the-art
features such as fly-by-wire and full authority digital engine
control, would have a service ceiling of 12 km. It is
envisaged to have modern avionics and a glass cockpit.
The total cost of development of the aircraft would be
equally shared by both India and Russia along with 50 per cent
work share between HAL and UAC-Rosoboronexport each.
Under the JV, both the Indian and Russian corporations
would have equal shareholding.
The JV agreement was signed and exchanged by HAL's
Director (Design and Development) N C Agarwal with
Rosoboronexport's Head of Department (Air) S K Kornev and UAC
General Director (Transport Aircraft) S V Velmozhkin. PTI NCB
