Key Questions Answered
Honeywell Aerospace is scheduled to complete the supply of all 16 HTT-40 engines for the trainer aircraft to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) by the first half of 2027.
The initial delivery delays were caused by supply chain disruptions after a catastrophic fire at a supplier's facility affected two critical engine components.
In 2022, Honeywell Aerospace signed a roughly $100 million contract with HAL to supply and manufacture 88 TPE331-12B engines and kits, alongside maintenance and support services.
