China is developing a new long-range bomber, an air force commander confirms. Details are scarce, but the aircraft's range is likely to exceed that of the H-6K's 6,000 km (3,700 mi.) for combat missions (page 24). Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) flew its Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) for the first time on Sept. 6, in Bengalaru. Powered by a single HAL/Turbomeca Shakti 1U turboshaft, the 6,000-lb.-class LUH is India's third indigenous helicopter design after HAL's ALH Dhruv and its Light Combat Helicopter derivative.
