  Wearing  an olive green G-suit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi  flew  the indigenous trainer  aircraft  of  Light Combat Aircraft  (LCA) Tejas during  his  visit to  defense  manufacturer HAL in Bengaluru on Saturday. The Prime Minister  is  on a  closed  visit to  HAL’s  LCA manufacturing facilities. 

  This two-seat aircraft  is the first  trainer version of  the  Tejas  series  manufactured by HAL and was handed over to the Indian Air Force on October 4. 

  After the  flight  took off from HAL  airport  and lasted  a few  minutes, Modi posted on X: “Successfully  exited  on  Tejas.  This  experience was incredibly enriching, significantly  strengthened  my  belief  in our  country’s  indigenous  capabilities  and  left  me with a  new  sense of pride and optimism about our national  potential.  

 “I can say with  great  pride that  through  hard work and dedication, we are  second to none  in the world in the field of self-reliance.  I extend my heartfelt  congratulations to the Indian Air Force, DRDO and HAL  and  all  the people of India,”  Modi  added.  

 After the flight, the Prime Minister  visited  Telangana to campaign for the BJP ahead of the November 30  assembly elections.  

 HAL handed over the first  two-seater  LCA Tejas  to the IAF on October 4 at an event attended by  Defense  Minister  Ajay  Bhatt  and  Chief of Air  Staff  Air  Marshal VR Chaudhari. 

  The Union Cabinet  has  approved the  purchase  of 73 LCA Tejas Mk-1A fighter aircraft and 10 LCA Tejas Mk-1 trainer aircraft  in 2021  at  a  cost of Rs 45,696 Crore.  The IAF  plans  to  buy  97 more LCAs from HAL,  taking  the total LCAs in  inventory to 220, including  fighters and  single-seat  trainers. 

  “The  two-seat  LCA Tejas  aircraft  is a  4.5  generation, multi-role, all-weather light  aircraft. It is designed to  meet the  training  needs  of the IAF and  transform into  a fighter  aircraft when required,”  HAL said about the LCA  that  the  Prime Minister  flew.  

 “It is an amalgamation of  modern  concepts and technologies such as  comfortable static stability, electric quadcopter  flight control,  worry-free maneuvering,  advanced glass cockpit,  air-conditioning system,” said HAL.  integrated digital avionics  and advanced composites for  cells”.  

 The LCA trainer  aircraft made  its maiden flight six months  ago,  on April 5 at  HAL  airport,  in a  35-minute flight.  Powered by a GE FF404-IN20 turbofan engine, the LCA Tejas  training aircraft  is 13.2 m long, 8.2 m wide and  4.4  m high.  Its maximum takeoff weight is 13,500 kg and  its  service ceiling  (maximum  usable altitude)  is  50,000 feet.
