Naval LCA Tejas makes successful ‘arrested landing’ at Goa facility 

Officials said the test demonstrated the aircraft’s ability to halt at a short distance after landing on board an aircraft carrier. 

The test was carried out at a shore-based test facility of the Indian Navy. 

The naval version of the aircraft is in development stage. 

The Indian Air Force has inducted a batch of Tejas aircraft. 

Initially, an order was placed with the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited for 40 Tejas aircraft. 

The event marks the start of a new era where multiple agencies have come together to achieve a common goal. 

The test has put India on the world map as a nation with the capability to design a deck landing aircraft. 

Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh has congratulated ADA, HAL, DRDO and Indian Navy for this major feat.
