  1. @ del – Fantastic video!! Feels like it's taking off from a carrier. Hope to see it soon on Vikramaditya & Vikrant II

    Shiv thanks so much for sharing this.

  2. Other than the strengthened undercarriage and avionics, how does Naval LCA differ from LCA Trainer? I notice they look the same, with tandem seats

  3. Centre fuselage is completely different to house the stronger and longer undercarriage. Provision for arrester hook in rear fuselage. New leading edge control surface, LEVCON, to reduce approach speed for carrier landing. Front fuselage of AF Trainer is in fact to Navy standard with additional droop of 4 deg to have better over the nose vision for carrier landing
