The Tejas, short for Light Combat Aircraft Tejas, stands as India's domestically developed and manufactured light multi-role single-seater fighter aircraft. Originating in the 1980s, this project aimed to replace aging fighter jets in the Indian Air Force and Navy. Crafted by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), the Tejas boasts advanced materials and technologies, including composites, to optimize weight and enhance performance. Its power is derived from the General Electric F404-GE-IN20 turbofan engine. Fitted with an indigenous EL/M-2032 fire control radar, the Tejas is equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and electronic warfare systems. Capable of carrying a diverse array of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, bombs, and rockets, it exhibits versatile combat capabilities. The Tejas Mk I is already in active service with the Indian Air Force, and plans are underway for the naval variant. Further enhancements are anticipated with the development of the Tejas Mk II, reinforcing India's autonomy and achievements in the field of aerospace technology.
