Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has been demonstrating its latest upgrades for the Dornier 228 twin turboprop at this week’s Aero India show in Bangalore. On display for the first time is a new glass cockpit developed by the Swiss-based Ruag group. This is part of an upgrade package for the utility/commuter aircraft that they intend to take into licensed production in India under an established agreement with the former German airframer Dornier.
