The
Intermediate Jet Trainer (IJT) christened as HJT-36 is
indigenously designed and developed by HAL to replace ageing
fleet of KIRAN Jet Trainer aircraft in service with Indian
Air Force for Stage II training of its pilots. IJT will be
fitted with AL-55i Jet engines produced in house at Engine
Division Koraput. IJT incorporates the simplicity necessary
for ease of conversion from Basic Piston Trainer and the
sophistication required for quick conversion to the
complexities of an Advanced Jet Trainer.
