India’s indigenous Light Combat Aircraft – Tejas – will take part in the three-day Bahrain International Airshow starting tomorrow.

Two limited series production aircraft will take part in the show to enthral the visitors of various countries during the flying display through a series of aerobatic manoeuvres, HAL Chairman and Managing Director T Suvarna Raju said.

“It is important that indigenous aircraft fly outside India in international air shows. HAL is proud to be associated with design, development and production of Tejas. We have set up state of the art, environmentally controlled dedicated Division at Bengaluru for production of LCAs”, Raju said in a release.

Tejas is a 4.5 generation single engined, light weight, highly agile, multi-role supersonic fighter with supersonic capability at all altitudes.

It has the fly by wire, state of the art open architecture computer for avionics and better weapon and combat capability, HAL said.

Also, the Sarang helicopter display team of the Indian Air Force that flies four HAL-produced Dhruv helicopters is all set to take part.

HAL said it would also set up a stall at the show with focus on ALH WSI (Rudra) and Light Combat Helicopter (LCH).
