The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited has removed the picture of Lord Hanuman from the tail of the HLFT-42 aircraft model displayed at the Aero India 2023 event in Bengaluru, ANI reported.

This comes a day after HAL showcased the full-scale model of its supersonic trainer aircraft HLFT-42. 

The model aircraft, which was a major attraction at the show, featured a Hanuman picture on its tail.

The aeronautics body said that they had decided to use Hanuman's picture to display the power of the aircraft.

The HLFT-42 aircraft is the successor of HAL Marut, the first Indigenous aircraft.

Marut is the other name for Wind, or 'Pawan' as it is called in Hindi.

The son of Pawan was Lord Hanuman, which is why a picture of the lord was displayed on the model aircraft.
