BANGALORE: At 10.30am Monday, all eyes will be trained on Bangalore's skies as India's first homegrown aircraft powers out on its maiden journey. The indigenous Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), vilified for more than 20 years, will take off on completely Indian wings and many prayers.
It will be a historic moment for the Indian aerospace industry and a proud day for aerospace city Bangalore.
Defence minister A K Antony, his ministry, the defence top brass and a battery of aerospace experts will witness the launch at the HAL airport. The aircraft, costing Rs 17,000 cr, will be flown by an IAF test pilot and is likely to be in the air for 20-35 minutes.
India's first supersonic fighter aircraft, though nurtured in Bangalore, will be flying on an American engine. Bangalore is central to its development —the aircraft was conceived, designed, developed, tested and certified by Aeronautical Development Agency, and manufactured and assembled by HAL.
Post clearance, the LCA will now take several flying missions and after that it will have to obtain its Final Operational Clearance (FOC) to be finally inducted into operational service, which is likely to happen by the end of 2012, Ministry officials said.

Why IAF need 2 long years for Final operational clearance?
Only Angle of attack+ BVR integration is left , right?
Any experts please?
Bl00dy hell..Twisting the words..
All he said was that LCA is not upto GRIPEN-NG now..But it will become at par and even better it..
So have they got clearance or will it be announced after the air show?
Engine integration is also there.. for the 414s.

414 are going to be used on MARK 2 so why don we need to do that for FOC of mark 1?
mark 1 is going to use 404 only as far as i saw and heard in news.
