Naval LCA to take off next month:

Navy's Tejas fighter revs for take-off

From the article:

The Indian Navy has signalled strong support to the naval version of the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), even before the indigenous fighter makes its first flight next month. In New Delhi, on Wednesday, the defence ministry’s apex Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) sanctioned the building of eight Naval LCA aircraft by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).

“The eight fighters will be a mix of single-seat fighters and twin-seat trainers. The money for these has also been allocated,” says a senior Ministry of Defence official who was at the DAC meeting.

I am doubtful on N-LCA. India has never made carrier operational fighter plane, Landing and taking off from deck is difficult job. I think it will take 3-4 attempt to make deck operational LCA.

If N-LCA can take off by march, it will take End of the year or next year to make it deck operable. Take off can be achieved but landing will be difficult.Lets see how HAL will make it happen..

LCA has only 1 station for pods and where did you found the duo-launchers? That might be theoretically possible, since the mid wingstation can hold bigger loads, but not even a single Derby was integrated yet.
