India’s ambitious 5th Generation Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) program, designed to enhance the Indian Air Force’s capabilities, has made gradual yet significant strides, according to industrial sources close to idrw.org. The program, which aims to develop a cutting-edge fighter aircraft with stealth features and advanced avionics, is currently progressing well, with key components nearing completion.
Sources revealed to idrw.org that large portions of the AMCA’s airframe are currently under construction, a crucial phase in the aircraft’s development. The airframe is a critical structural element that supports the aircraft’s various systems, and its construction marks a major milestone in the program. With several components already in the works, the AMCA is on track to take shape in the coming months.
Additionally, the radar for the AMCA is nearly ready, another key component of the aircraft’s advanced features. Alongside the radar, the radome and canopy essential parts of the aircraft’s exterior and cockpit are also reportedly completed, further solidifying the aircraft’s progression toward its first flight.
As per the latest updates, mid-2026 has been set as the target for the rollout of the AMCA, marking a key milestone in the aircraft’s development. Following this, the Indian Air Force is looking forward to the first flight of the AMCA in the second quarter of 2028.
While the AMCA’s first flight is still a few years away, the program’s steady progress gives a promising outlook for the future. With major components nearing completion and a clear timeline for the aircraft’s rollout and first flight, the AMCA is expected to become a cornerstone of India’s Air Force modernization in the coming decades.
