India’s 4.5 generation LCA Tejas MK2 fighter will fly for the first-time next year, a top official confirmed.
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) Chief CB Ananthakrishnan told that the first LCA Mk 2 outfitted with the GE 414 engine is scheduled for its inaugural flight in December next year, with intense work underway to meet the deadline. "The production of the LCA Mk2 should start by 2027-28. By that time, we will be manufacturing the engines here. We may even be able to further shorten this timeline," he said.
Prabhulla Chandran VK, director of avionics and weapons systems at the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) earlier told Indian media that “(Mk2) design is totally different from Tejas Mk1. It is 20% larger than Mk1, has greater capacity, state-of-the-art avionics and range as well as higher weapon carrying capacity, which we are yet to announce. This fighter plane will have only one version. We might go in for a trainer plane later," Chandran said.
