Light Combat Aircraft Tejas

Several parts of Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), Tejas is of foreign origin. LCA Tejas is an indigenously designed and developed Aircraft. Out of total 344 LRUs (Line Replaceable Units) involved in the system level of LCA, a total of 210 LRUs have been produced indigenously and balance 134 LRUs are being imported from foreign companies. Indigenous content of the LCA Tejas Aircraft is 59.7% by value and 75.5% by numbers.

To reduce dependence on foreign companies, out of the 134 imported LRUs, the indigenisation of 42 units is under progress. Further efforts are being made by way of indigenization with the objective to reduce the import content progressively. Consolidation of technical specification of imported units have been carried out and they are being projected for indigenisation by private companies, DRDO labs and HAL divisions.

In a few cases, HAL has entered into repair agreements for a number of items to locally repair the items and for balance, they are in the process of entering into Long Term Repair and Maintenance Agreement (LTRMA).

This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Dr. Subhash Bhamre in a written reply to Shri Rakesh Singh in Lok Sabha today.

is the navy's tejas the carrier based variant?

It is called the N-LCA (Navy uses the project names unlike the IAF) and yes, this is the Technology Demonstrator for the operational carrier borne fighter.

 

[MULUBJA]

Cost of flying a Tejas on a mission per hour along with life cycle costs.

Life cycle cost= current cost already spent+ present value of all future cost which includes operation cost and maintenence cost- present value salvage cost.

Has it been on an actual carrier? cause the pic posted looks like ground testing.

It is a replica of creer on ground and planes are tested here prior to test from aircraft career. When we tested tejas, our scientist got a plesent surprise. They witnessed 10+ climb rate against anticipated 5.5. Plane struck 22* AOA in its first flight.

Not yet, the rumour is that N-LCA will be tested from on board the INS Vikramaditya "soon".
The shore based tests have validated advanced capabilities such as Hands off take off(Automated Take off).

DRDO DG (Aero) C P Ramanarayanan said LCA with Kaveri engine might fly in 2018. He said DRDO is already in consultation with Snecma. Already Rs 2,105 crore has been spent on the project. Another Rs 600 crore is likely to be needed for the testing phase.
