HF-24 Marut is an Indian fighter-bomber aircraft, first Indian-developed jet aircraft, first Asian supersonic aircraft and first Asian jet fighter (outside Soviet Union) used in active service. The prototype was flown in 1961, and from 1967 the first serial aircraft entered service with HAL. The leading designer of the Marut was Kurt Tank, the constructor of the Focke-Wulf 190. Total 147 HF-24 were built and this airframe is probably the only one on display outside of India. This photo is copyright © WalAndPl, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
