Tata Advanced Systems Limited and Airbus completed the first test flight of maiden 'Made in India' Airbus C295 military transport aircraft from the Final Assembly Line in Vadodara. The model marked the first of 40 aircraft to be built in India, advancing the defence programme's objective of delivering the first such aircraft to the Indian Air Force this year.
Marking a milestone for Indian aviation and defence, the test flight was a crucial step in the aircraft's post production testing process.
