The second naval prototype of Tejas, the indigenously developed light combat aircraft, will undergo flight test in Goa by September-end, P.S. Subramanyam, Project Director (Combat Aircraft), Aeronautical Development Agency, has said.

Mr. Subramanyam, who was here to attend an Engineers’ Day function, toldThe Hinduthat the prototype would demonstrate take-off and landing at a shore-based test facility which simulated an aircraft carrier. With that, India would become the third country to demonstrate this facility. He said the Indian Air Force version of Tejas was expected to get final operational clearance by March 2015.
