Light combat aircraft ‘Tejas’, which is scheduled to attain initial operational clearance (IOC) by this year-end, has undergone the second phase of hot weather trials in the past one week at the air force station in Nagpur.
The first phase of hot weather trails were conducted at the same venue in May-June 2008. On both occasions, the trials were supported by air force station in Nagpur. The objective of the current phase of hot weather trials is to prove that the aircraft is in IOC configuration with the weapon system and sensors integrated.
