| Summary/Abstract |
At Aero India 2015, the star of the show was not an aerial platform performing jaw-dropping stunts in the air, though there were a few aerobatic teams. The star was Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who made a debut of sorts in the presence of senior (if not the top) defence and aerospace business executives of the world.

| Summary/Abstract |
In fact, a number of major decisions were announced after Aero India, following the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) meeting that took place in the last week of February. Decisions taken by the DAC to allow procurement of additional Swiss Pilatus PC-7 MkII basic trainer aircraft (BTA) and acquisition of an additional Lockheed Martin C-130 J ‘Super Hercules’ to make up for attrition, would have been welcome announcements during Aero India.

| Summary/Abstract |
Indian requirements for helicopters — in both military and civil aviation sector — are growing rapidly. Estimates suggest that in the near term, India could buy as many as 1000 helicopters, making it a market too big to ignore. Firmly focussed on this market is Bell Helicopter, which plans to sell its latest and the most versatile Bell-407GX and Bell-407GT tactical light commercial helicopters. At Aero India 2015, the company conducted various demonstration flights of the Bell-407GX for select journalists and also provided hands-on training experience for Indian Air Force (IAF) helicopter pilots. VIPs like Anil Ambani, chairman of Reliance Group, also received demonstration flights during the course of the Show.
