Its 30-minute maiden flight had occurred earlier on 31 May, and the above was the eighth flight to date. The HTT-40 was rolled out on 2 February.

Approximately 75-80% of the trainer’s components are locally manufactured. It features a pressurised cockpit, ejection seats and an in-flight simulation display
