The HAL HTT-40, short for Hindustan Turbo Trainer-40 and known in Indian Air Force service as Ankur, is a tandem-seat turboprop basic trainer designed and built by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited to replace the retired HPT-32 Deepak. It is powered by a Honeywell Garrett TPE331-12B turboprop engine. The programme formally began in 2013 with internal funding from HAL, and the first prototype was rolled out on 2 February 2016 and flew on 31 May 2016. At DefExpo 2022 the Air Force and HAL concluded a contract for 70 aircraft, with 36 more to be bought later.
