Context:

The Saras Mk2, an upgraded version of India’s indigenously developed civilian aircraft, is expected to conduct its first test flight by December 2027, according to Abhay Pashilkar, Director of CSIR-National Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL). The aircraft aims to fill critical gaps in regional connectivity and could potentially be procured by the Indian Air Force (IAF).

Key Features and Objectives

  • Capacity: 19-seater aircraft, ideal for short-haul passenger transport.
  • Use Cases:
    • Ferrying passengers from towns lacking large airports
    • Operations as chartered planes
    • Deployment as air ambulances
  • Military Interest: IAF has shown interest in procuring at least 15 units, pending successful trials.

Development Timeline and Challenges

  • Origin: Based on the earlier 14-seater Saras prototype, which first flew in 2004.
  • Setback: Progress halted after a 2009 crash during a test flight that killed three IAF personnel.
  • Revival: Project was revived in 2016 with significant design upgrades:
    • Redesigned wings
    • Repositioned engines
  • Manufacturing Partners:
    • Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to be involved
    • Metallic parts outsourced
    • Fuselage requires large-scale vendors
  • Avionics: Basic systems from Genesis; additional systems run on in-house NAL-developed computers
  • In-House Systems:
    • Brake management
    • Environmental controls
