Naval LCA Tejas

[Suryavanshi]

I have full trust on navy they will back this indigenous program

If u may have missed it out, the time duration of Testing of Weapon system is being reduced. Fast action fast results.

I'm sure AMCA is gonna be formalised in projected time.

Difference between governance is clearly visible here.
One man took the Tejas program from shamshan to asman.

Despite Navy’s refusal for Tejas aircraft, LCA Navy programme to continue: Parrikar

NLCA may or may not be indicted but we have proved our mettle of a indigenous program.

Why does the naval lca look like the two seater version of tejas

 

[Shashwat]

^^ It is derived from Trainer with no second seat and cockpit. Instead, it has extra fuel tank and testing instruments in place of second seat.

was the test carried out on a moving aircraft carrier or was the carrier stationary??

Yes !!!

 

[lcafanboy]

Why does the naval lca look like the two seater version of tejas

Because it is...
It's actually a trainer version without the second seat and beefier landing gear. The space behind pilot is used for more fuel...

You can easily see wake of the Carrier in the pic you quoted to know answer to your question. Which is Yes.

Thanks a lot.
Sorry, did not take a close look of the image.
I had initially heard that the landing test was to take place on a stationary aircraft carrier docked at Goa.

Dear Indian Navy...

Why O why would someone reject such a pretty lady....

 

[captscooby81]

They didn't reject saying they don't want LCA. They said at it's current avatar it's underpowered for Naval operations from AC with single engine . So they are asking for TEBDF to operate in future

Dear Indian Navy...

Why O why would someone reject such a pretty lady....

I see a helicopter on the right side of the AC in flying . Hope to see a beautiful side view landing and take off video soon .

Wait for video on Tejas official YT channel. Deb Rana Sir must have captured beautiful shots of N-LCA.

ADA-HAL reached final leg of testing i.e Carrier Compatibility Tests with just 2 platforms, with second one flying only 5 years ago. That's one optimum management and of course a sturdy airframe.

As NLCA will be flying 1-2 missions per NLCA per day for the entire period of 10 days deployment at INS Vikramaditya. Wonder! how can Navy not get impressed (by rate availability of NLCA) enough to order a squadron of NLCA MK-1 as Carrier Based LIFT.

Mind you a Mig-29K goes straight to maintenance area below deck after every arrested recovery. A lot of parts come loose after a Mig-29K traps a wire...... But not NLAC. So far only thing coming out after 20+ arrested recovery is Pilot helmet's wiser, on only one occasion.

Because they are in love with Russian Katrina and French Roxanne.....
