The recently concluded 5-day Aero India 2015 in Bangalore (18-22 Feb 2015) was a visual delight for the visitors. The key reason for the show was defence-related business deals; but from visitors' point of view, the impressive fly pasts and the stunning aerobatics displays put up by various global teams was the high point. Here are glimpses of their awesomeness!
HAL Tejas: Its roar shook the airfield!
Sukhoi Su-30 MKI: Breezed through flying upside down.
Despite supersonic speed, Sukhoi Su-30 MKI has a capability to land on shorter runways, thanks to a pair of parachutes opening when it lands.
C-17 Globemaster, a US Air Force Military Transport Aircraft, was the largest monster on display. This 53m long aircraft needs an airstrip of just 900mts to land, and can carry 77.5 tons of cargo.
Cheetah - HAL's Advanced Light Helicopter - demonstrated great manoeuvrability.
Sarang Aerobatics team (in HAL's Advanced Light Helicopter Dhruv) took our breath away with their fearless aerobatics. They crisscrossed each other just a few feet apart and flew one on top of the other, while the audience' hearts were in their mouths as their rotors seemed to be meshing into each other like gears.
