New Delhi, May 19: Mahindra Aerospace's Airvan 8 is now type certified in India. The company has thanked Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for Type Acceptance of its Turbocharged Airvan 8. The company conveyed this information through a tweet. Mahindra Aerospace tweeted, “Thank you #DGCA for Type Acceptance of our Turbocharged Airvan 8! Customers in India can now choose between the 300 HP Airvan 8 NA (Normally Aspirated) or 320 HP Airvan 8 TC (Turbocharged).”

Mahindra Aerospace had received a FAR 23 type certificate from Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority for its Airvan 10 last year. Airvan 10 is the turbocharged version of the Airvan 8. The Airvan 10 is powered by a Rolls-Royce 250 B-17, which produces 450-shaft horsepower.

Now the company’s Airvan 8 has also received type acceptance certificate from DGCA. It will allow Mahindra to make this aircraft operational in India.
