Lca Tejas  

Squadron Leader Mohana Singh has become the first woman pilot to join the squadron of India's 'Made in India' LCA Tejas fighter jet. 

Tejas is a fighter jet developed by India’s Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). Tejas aircraft took its first flight in the year 2001. On 22 March 2016, it received the Initial Operational Clearance (IOC).

Close on the heels of a Rs 48,000 crore deal between the government and the HAL to manufacture and supply 83 LCA Tejas Mark-1A jets for the Indian Air Force, it is now a potential Rs 15,000 crore deal with Tata-Airbus to supply 56 C-295 transporter aircraft to the IAF
 

 Indian private defence technology firm Dynamatic Technologies has completed building the front fuselage of the Final Operational Clearance (FOC) version of the Tejas

 It’s another milestone for Hindustan Aeronautics Limited as LCA Tejas produced by it (FOC standard) has been inducted into IAF squadron ‘The Flying Bullets’ at a function at Sulur (Tamil Nadu)

The Indian Air Force (IAF) will operationalise its No.18 Squadron at Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu on May 27, equipping it with the fourth generation LCA Tejas aircraft.

The DRDO has successfully completed the lab trials of OnBoard Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS), a technology used to supply oxygen to aircrew using bleed air from the aircraft’s engine

There has to be a reason for the government and the Indian Air Force's impatience with the HAL. The real problem for the HAL has been its declining efficiency and repeated failure to meet deadlines.
 

India is hoping to impress a global audience with the indigenously developed light combat aircraft 'Tejas'. The Light combat flight's handling and manoeuvrability as well as aerobatics, will be showcased by a team of 50 in Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition.

LCA Tejas MK I was accorded the final operational clearance by aviation certifying authorities. The Indian Air Force (IAF) will soon request for 83 Tejas MK-1A
