BrahMos Aerospace was established in India as a joint venture
through an inter-governmental agreement between India and Russia
signed in February 1998.
Aero-Terms are designed to be a daily reminder of the terms,
names, acronyms and explanations of the unique language that
populates the aviation world. Aerospace, sport aviation, fixed
wing, helo, you name it... it's all fair game.
"I've always wondered why, if I was called to search an
airplane and some luggage... why did they let the airplane go
before I arrived there. I did not have a chance to search that
airplane. I believe that if I had a chance to search it, things
might have turned out differently. I believe we would have found...
the explosives."
