The Hindustan Ardhra, whose name means the moist one, was a two-seat sailplane of conventional layout and wooden construction. The Civil Aviation Department of the Indian government designed it for pilot training in the late 1970s as the ATS-1 Ardhra. In the early 1980s the Indian Air Force ordered fifty examples to be built by Hindustan Aeronautics, and the type was approved for flying by cadets. Published figures give a wingspan of 16.5 metres, a length of 8.61 metres, an empty mass of 328 kilograms, a maximum take-off mass of 508 kilograms and a best glide ratio of 26, using a Wortmann FX-61-184 aerofoil.
