The HAL Tejas (Sanskrit: तेजस् "Radiant", Hindi pronunciation: [t̪edʒəs]( listen)) is a lightweight multirole jet fighter being developed by India. It is a tailless,[6] compound delta wing design powered by a single engine. Originally known as the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA)—a designation which continues in popular usage—the aircraft was officially named "Tejas"[7] by then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.[8] The IAF is reported to have a requirement for 200 single-seat and 20 two-seat conversion trainers, while the Indian Navy may order up to 40 single-seaters to replace its Sea Harrier FRS.51 and Harrier T.60.[9] During its sea level flight trials off Goa, Tejas notched a speed of over 1,350 km per hour, thus becoming the second supersonic fighter being manufactured indigenously by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited after the HAL Marut.[10]
