Haters gonna hate.. but isn't she beautiful!

Can we please stop posting stuff on that new type in the regualar Tejas thread?

It is no longer a Tejas and as such - esp. since there is already a new thread - we should leave this one for the true Tejas.

• FOC SP21 to SP24 to be delivered by March '20. SP21 in January, late due to a software upgrade.
• From March, 12/year rate expected, thus FOC delivery complete by March '21.
• SP25 to SP28 in advanced stages.
• One airframe dedicated to Main Airframe Fatigue Test.
• 18 trainers will follow the FOC production end.
• Mk1A expected at 16/year.
• In FOC, daily inspection (DI) panels, drop tanks, hydraulic systems, fuel and environmental control system (ECS) pipelines and canopy are in an interchangeable role.

• NLCA snagged the third wire on the deck. The target was second wire.
  
• 23 knots wind at the time of approach. Touchdown at 128 knots relative to the carrier.
  
• Done in clean configuration with max fuel. Planned to fly to Goa in case of abort.
• There will be more than 20 tests off the AC in the coming days.

NLCA Mk1 has done successful ski-jump off INS Vikramādityan today.

People will start reporting soon. I can't tell if the reports are lacking because it crashed later or if it's because everyone's at the middle of the ocean. (Just getting the trolls excited.)

Confirmation that NLCA has done maiden ski-jump off the aircraft carrier.

You may count how many nations have done this with an indigenous design. In the coming week, NLCA will prove better than MiG29K at taking the impact of arrested landings. Apart from the landing gear, this will also be a testament to the ruggedness of AF Tejas.

Nice, are they gonna use LCA for the next carrier?

Not unless it's an emergency or if they want some trainers. Unlikely.

But we know that a production spec NLCA Mk1 is being built anyway. Fanboys can still keep hope.

As if the jet itself isn’t ugly enough.

I would call it ugly even if it was an American or Chinese fighter
