IAF Dhruv helicopters fixed after design issue: Report

Indian Air Force Dhruv helicopters, which recently witnessed a series of accidents due to design issue, has now been fixed. According to a report by the Hindustan Times, the military’s advanced light helicopter Dhruv has now been fitted with an upgraded control system to improve airworthiness. Dhruv maker Hindustan Aeronautics Limited is supplying control rods made of steel instead of aluminum to ALH squadrons and this would improve flight safety, HAL helicopter complex CEO S Anbuvelan told HT. The changes in the Dhruv chopper's design were critical as the Indian armed forces operate around 330 twin-engine ALHs.
