Correction to previous comment regarding HD2, it should have read: HT2 Hindustan Trainer 2. Any info?

Would like to hear info about the HD2 which was based at Archerfield, owned by Airwork Company in 1958. Where are they now?

It was originally intended as a supersonic fighter, but with all the development problems, they ended up with the abridged version.

Marut was the first jet aircraft made by India. It did not succeed as it had many flaws..The aircraft engine was taken from Ajit(Gnat)..Two of Gnat's engine were put in Marut. The aircraft was too bulky and the was underpowered.

The project that led to the Marut was headed by the legendary German designer Dr. Kurt Tank who is also known as the person behind the Focke Wulf Fw190. The Marut however was not a particularly successful aircraft and was soon replaced by the Russian MiG-27 as the choice strike fighter for the Indian Air Force.

uno de los problemas de este avión fue su planta motor, muy deficiente. Aunque originalmente se lo penso como caza, terminó siendo un bonbardero transonico.

este avion fue diseñado originalmente en la Fabrica militar de aviones, FMA de cordoba (argentina) por el ingeniero aleman kurt tank, originalmente pulqui III. cuando el gobierno del general Peron (1955) fue derrocado, kurt tank emigro a india donde reactivo el proyecto.
