Nice, but is it a fighter jet and a passenger plane.

Congratulations! No landing pics?

Nevertheless good development but I think landing and arresting of the fighter is more important.

Slowly and steadily our Aircraft development is maturing.
Congratulations

Totally flawless as if it is doing that for decades. Well done Tejas. Many people had voiced skeptisim against the fitness of Tejas' design as A/C compitable aircraft. It seems thatr it is being proved wrong.

Also look at the landing gear. They are placed totally differently. Same Landing gear will come in LCA MK2. Landing gears appears very thick. It seems to be the very conservatively design. Designers are confident that they will be able to bring down the weight at Par with air force version i.e at 600 KG.

Great! Seems the N-LCA project is progressing well! I hope it will be granted an FOC before 2019 before INS Vikrant (IAC-I) is commissioned!

Nice, but is it a fighter jet and a passenger plane.

^^Seriously!
