KANPUR: Seeking to
encourage research and development among students of Aerospace
Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur has bought a Cessna aircraft from US
worth Rs 2.5 crore.
"To encourage research, and facilitate
them in their work this plane has been bought," said R K Sachan, acting
Registrar, IIT Kanpur.
The aerospace department has two small planes in their flight lab but these were not enough for the students, he said.
"Cessna has a single engine and it can remain air-borne for around seven hours after fueling," said Sachan.
He was confident that by next month Cessna will be brought to the institute.
