<div align="justify">Exchanging his usual crisp business suit for flying overalls, Anil Ambani, chairman of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, flew a sortie in French company Dassault’s Rafale fighter aircraft, at the Aero India 2017 on Wednesday. <br /><br />His Reliance Aerostructure Limited (RAL) has established a joint venture with the French company Dassault Aviation. The sortie was intended to give Ambani a feel of the power of Rafale, Dassault’s multirole fighter aircraft. Taking off just after 1 pm, Ambani flew for about 25 minutes with Dassault’s test pilot Tom Valette. He was kitted in flying overalls, a G-suit, Armée de l'Air jacket torso harness, flying boots and helmet with an oxygen mask.<br /><br />Ambani arrived at noon and was taken to the Dassault chalet at the Air Force Station where he was briefed on emergency systems, operating the Heads-Up display and also the eject/egress procedures. As he was escorted to the tarmac, the 57-year-old business giant joked about whether he would be able to do it or not. <br /> <br />After a long wait, during which the aircraft was changed, the Rafale moved onto the airstrip and Ambani waved at the crowd as it took off. <br /><br />The aircraft climbed to a height of 20,000 feet and performed a few manoeuvres, such as steep turns and deep dives before landing. <br /></div>
