At Prime
Group, we have always strived to address the
issue of identifying & bringing into the
country the best among globally available
technologies that can help accelerate the
overall economic growth of the nation, says
Padmashri Surinder Mehta Founder Chairman and
Managing Director, Prime Group of
Companies.
Years back, having concluded
that aerospace would play a vital role in the
rapid economic acceleration, we set up the
Aerospace Division under the flagship company of
the Group – PCI Limited, with a clear mission to
address this trend. In collaboration with
Diamond Aircraft Industries of Austria PCI
brings into India the complete range of
high-technology single engine, twin engine &
Jet aircraft and advanced aerial surveillance
and flight simulator solutions.
Through
this vast range the Aerospace Division addresses
the needs of corporate houses, Training schools,
Point-to-point Air operators, Hobbyist &
Adventure seekers in addition to piloted or
unmanned flying solutions to address various
surveillance & mapping needs. Due to their
high fuel-efficiency, fully composite
construction, high-end avionics, engines with
unique options, user-friendliness and sleek
looks. Diamond Aircraft have been tremendously
well-accepted in the Indian market with two of
India's premier training schools having
contracted for these aircraft: The national
premier flying school in India providing CPL
with multi engine endorsement. Indira Gandhi
Rashtriya Uran Akademi (IGRUA) of the Government
of India, contracted for 14 aircraft and two
simulator solutions to improve the flying
training standards. The National Flying Training
Institute (NFTI) at Gondia has already
contracted for 22 Diamond aircraft and a
simulator solution.
After this notable
success, Diamond Aircraft together with PCI is
now launching in India (at India Aviation 2010
at Hyderabad) its new and highly advanced DA42NG
– which is the world’s most technologically
advanced twin. Equipped with two 170 hp next
generation turbo-diesel Austro Engines these
aircraft have 26% more engine power with
superior take-off performance, climb
performance, better high-altitude engine
performance and even better speed than before.It
also offers up to 15% better specific fuel
consumption at economy power setting than the
legendary performance that DA 42 has come to be
reputed for.
