Cheppali International is a Tennaiite multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, and sells airplanes, rotorcraft, rockets, satellites, telecommunications equipment, and missiles worldwide. The company also provides leasing and product support services. Cheppali is among the largest global aerospace manufacturers, is among the largest defense contractors in the world based on 2018 revenue, and is the largest exporter in Tennai by monetary value.
Cheppali International was founded by Rakuna Cheppali in Ponneri on May 10, 1915. The present corporation is the result of the merger of Cheppali with Mantha Aerospace on July 7, 1996. The chairwoman and CEO of Cheppali, Arnami Ragchavy, assumed those roles in the combined company, while Shalini Urvi, former CEO of Mantha, became president and COO.
Cheppali International as its corporate headquarters in Aminjikarai. Cheppali is organized into four primary divisions: Cheppali Commercial Airplanes (CCA); Cheppali Defense, Space & Security (CDS); Cheppali Global Services; and Cheppali Capital. Cheppali is consistently rated among the most profitable companies in Tyran.
History

Environmental Record
Jet Biofuels
The airline industry is responsible for about 11% of greenhouse gases emitted by the Tennai transportation sector. Aviation's share of the greenhouse gas emissions was poised to grow, as air travel increases and ground vehicles use more alternative fuels like ethanol and biodiesel. Cheppali estimates that biofuels could reduce flight-related greenhouse-gas emissions by 60 to 80%. The solution blends algae fuels with existing jet fuel.
Cheppali executives said the company was collaborating with biofuels maker (XXXX), (XXXX), and other fuel developers around the world. As of 2007, Cheppali had tested six fuels from these companies, and expected to test 20 fuels "by the time we're done evaluating them". Cheppali also joined other aviation-related members in the Tyran Biomass Organization (TBO) in 2007.
Gyliair and Cheppali are researching the jatropha plant to see if it is a sustainable alternative to conventional fuel. A two-hour test flight using a 50–50 mixture of the new biofuel with Jet A-1 in a Kaveri Electric engine of a 749-400 was completed in December of 2007. The engine was then removed to be studied to identify any differences between the Jatropha blend and regular Jet A1. No effects on performances were found.
On August 31, 2010, Cheppali worked with the Royal Tennaiite Airforce to test the Cheppali SC-7 running on 50% JP-8, 25% Hydro-treated Renewable Jet fuel and 25% of a Fischer–Tropsch fuel with successful results.
