A full scale LCA-Tejas aircraft in Full Operational Capability (FOC) configuration
will be at the centre stage of India Pavilion. LCA Tejas is a single engine,
light weight, highly agile, multi-role supersonic fighter. It has quadruplex digital
fly-by-wire Flight Control System (FCS) with associated advanced flight control
laws. The aircraft with delta wing is designed for 'air combat' and 'offensive air
support' with 'reconnaissance' and 'anti-ship' as its secondary roles. Extensive
use of advanced composites in the airframe gives a high strength to weight ratio,
long fatigue life and low radar signatures.
