Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is accelerating production of the LCA-Tejas Trainer aircraft. The state-owned aerospace company aims to deliver six Tejas Trainers this year, part of an 18-aircraft order from the Indian Air Force (IAF).
Following the delivery of the first Tejas Trainer (LT-5201) last October, HAL has prepped two more (LT-5202 & LT-5203) for delivery. These aircraft have successfully completed low-speed taxi trials, with a fourth (LT-5204) nearing completion.
HAL’s focus isn’t solely on trainers. They’ve set an ambitious target of delivering the first two single-seater Tejas Mk1A fighter jets to the IAF by April 2024. The Tejas Mk1A is an upgraded variant of the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft, boasting enhanced features and capabilities.
