The follow-on contract of Multirole Transport Aircraft (MTA) project being signed by Mr. T. Suvarnaraju of HAL (extreme right), Mr. S. Velmozhkin of UC-TA in the presence of Mr. R.K. Tyagi, Chairman of HAL (standing: third from left).
New Delhi: After signing a preliminary design phase contract between Indian aerospace company Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Russian company United Aircraft Corporation-Transport Aircraft (UAC-TA) and their joint venture-Multirole Transport Aircraft (MTA), for manufacturing 205 multirole transport aircraft, marks a new era of aircraft manufacturing in India has begun. This is a follow on contract among the three parties after the general contract was signed in May 2012.
HAL spokesperson Gopal Sutar told here that preliminary design work for the HAL-UACTA multirole transport aircraft will immediately begin at Moscow.
The contract was signed by Mr. T. Suvarnaraju, HAL’s Director (Design and Development) and Mr. S.Velmozhkin, General Director, UAC-TA. The contract was signed in the presence of the HAL chairman R.K. Tyagi. On this occasion Tyagi told that a design team of HAL consisting 30 designers will be positioned at UAC-TA. “ The primary objective of the project is to achieve self-reliance in design, development and production of aircraft of this size and also to manage the programme with international collaboration and large number of global suppliers”- he added.
This project is considered to be a major break through in achieving self-reliance in aircraft manufacturing. Both Indian and Russian companies will design and manufacture the aircraft to meet the requirements of 100 aircraft for Russia and 45 aircraft for India. Remaining 60 aircraft will be manufactured for export to other countries.
According to sources, MTA will replace the Indian Air Force’s ageing fleet of Russian built AN-32 aircraft. The project cost is estimated to 600.7 million USD and the unit cost will be around 35-40mn USD. Both sides will invest $300.35mn each in this joint venture.
The aircraft will be designed for cargo / troop transportation, paradrop/air drop of supplies including ‘low altitude parachute extraction system’ and is to be co-developed by HAL, UAC, and Rosoboronexport of Russia, through MTAL. HAL will carry out the design and development of its workshare of the MTA at the Aircraft R&D Centre (ARDC) at Bangalore while its Transport Aircraft Division (TAD) at Kanpur will manufacture the prototypes and subsequently the serial production will be undertaken at Kanpur where dedicated facilities are being set up.
MTA will be a medium lift military transport aircraft which could carry payload of 18-20 tonnes to a range upto 2500 kilometers with top speed of 870 km/h. MTA is understood to be powered by Russian made PD-14 turbofan twin engines. This transport aircraft will carry 88 to 100 paratroopers or passengers whereas the existing IAF transport aircraft AN-32 can carry 40-50 soldiers or passengers. The payload capacity of AN-32 is only about 6 tonnes. India had acquired 125 AN-32 aircraft in mid 80s. Presently 105 AN-32 aircraft are flying and they are the work horse of the IAF.
An inter-governmental agreement for the MTA project was signed on 12 Novermber, 2007 and later in during the Moscow visit of the Indian defence minister A.K. Antony, both countries formally incorporated the joint venture to develop the MTA.
HAL has a dedicated Division for manufacture and support of transport aircraft at Kanpur which is the only proven facility in the country for transport aircraft. This Division has a co-located R&D centre for transport aircraft.
The production of 44 seater HS-748 (Avro) passenger/transport Aircraft commenced at this Division in early 1960s. Eighty nine Avro aircraft were produced at this Division out of which 22 aircraft were supplied to civilian customers. The Division is still supporting these aircraft.
HAL has undertaken a number of upgrades and modifications to overcome obsolescence and performance enhancement. Subsequently, production of 19 seater Dornier 228 passenger/utility aircraft started in early 1984. So far 116 aircrafts have been produced for various roles out of which 14 aircrafts were supplied to domestic civilian customers besides export of another two aircrafts. HAL is also exporting complete Dornier 228 aircraft structure to Ruag, Germany with EASA certification.
Currently, the Division is supplying aircraft to various defence customers. One aircraft will be exported to Seychelles during this financial year. The Division is also expecting a number of bulk orders from domestic/foreign customers in near future.
