Shown during the biennial event at Air Force Station Yelahanka, Bangalore, in the first week of February, the single-seat concept is a development of HAL’s land-based Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA). It has been created in response to the national Multi-Role Carrier Borne Fighter (MRCBF) requirement to augment and eventually replace the IN’s fleet of carrier borne MiG-29K ‘Fulcrum’ fighters.

The US Navy and Boeing have disclosed details of testing designed to show that the F/A-18E/F Hornet strikefighter can operate from a short takeoff but arrested recovery (STOBAR) configured aircraft carrier.
Undertaken using the ski-jump facility at Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River in Maryland, the test campaign was performed by an F/A-18E (BuNo 165167/SD-213) to demonstrate the F/A-18E/F’s suitability for operation from the Indian Navy’s STOBAR carriers. The testing validated earlier simulation studies, said Boeing.
