Staff Reporter

CHENNAI : A two-day event on aerospace, `Aerofest 07,' organised by Hindustan Institute of Engineering Technology was inaugurated on Friday.

Arun Kumar Tiwari, Director, Defence Research and Development Organisation, said the modern man confused the requirements of body with those of mind. Every person should have patience and gratitude, which were two wings of human beings, he added.

Ramakant Singh, Deputy Director of Civil Aviation, an alumnus of the institute, recalled his association with founder-chairman of the institute K. C. G. Verghese.

Elizabeth Verghese, chairperson of the institute, J. K. Bose, Deputy General Manager (Engg), Indian (formerly Indian Airlines), and Nirmal Singh Munday, former Deputy Director-General of Civil Aviation, also spoke.

`Certification of civil aircrafts', `boom in civil aviation', `design of conical probe', and `multiple nozzles' were some topics to be covered.

As part of the celebrations, an `aero exhibition' would be held at the HIET in Guindy, the organisers said.
