Hindustan Aeronautics Unveils Lead-in Fighter Trainer Project

Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) displayed a model of its company-funded HLFT-42 (Hindustan Lead-in Fighter Trainer) concept at the recent Aero India show, despite the apparent lack of a formal Indian Air Force requirement for the jet. The project is being positioned as a lead-in fighter training (LIFT) aircraft that will have performance and systems representative of frontline types, allowing it to download training from operational aircraft while exposing pilots to modern sensors, weapons and roles at lower cost. It is intended to provide a stepping stone between the subsonic jet training currently undertaken on the BAE Systems Hawk 132 and frontline type conversion. The new aircraft bears some familial resemblance to the delta-canard HAL Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF) unveiled at Aero India in 2021, but with a more conventional configuration. The slogan stayed in place, but the image of Lord Hanuman was removed the next day, before being restored—apparently due to public demand.

AINsight: Cognitive Decline in Aging Pilots

Congress is debating raising the mandatory retirement age of airline pilots to curb flight cancellations caused by a shortage of pilots. The purpose of a mandatory pilot retirement age, as accepted around the globe, is to limit the risks associated with aging crewmembers. The fact is all aging adults experience some level of cognitive decline, from airline pilots to lawmakers. The basis of this research was to better understand the effects of aging and cognitive performance to protect individuals who are engaged in risky activities. In a CNBC interview, United CEO Scott Kirby said he does not think raising the retirement age is the solution.
