SEMINAR REPORT ON TEJAS LIGHT COMBAT AIRCRAFT
TMS TEJA
14761A2140
ABSTRACT
The main objective of this presentation is to give a short introduction on the newly
manufactured aircraft by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and Aeronautical
Development Agency that is none other than LCA TEJAS LIGHT COMBACT
AIRCRAFT. When there are no fighter crafts for the wing section of the Indian Navy
and Indian Air force the LCA TEJAS stood in the section of Combat.
The main objective of this TEJAS LCA is for the self-reliance of
Indian aerospace industry and to replace the Mirage-21 from the Indian Air FORCE
as its structural failure is damaged because of its long usage in the combat. The one
more taught is to develop an Indian man made aircraft with its own configuration.
They want to develop a highly configured aircraft can which compete with combat
aircrafts of other strong countries like USA, Canada, Europe, Russia. The developed
aircraft should have highly configured technology that can able to combat with
former enemy of India i.e. Pakistan.

INTRODUCTION:
The aircraft has a tailless delta wing structure which gives its high maneuverability.
It came from the LIGHT COMBACT AIRCRAFT program which was started in the
year 1980.LCA was officially named as TEJAS by the prime minister Atal Bihari
Vajpayee. It is having a meaning of radiant in Sanskrit.
TEJAS has a pure delta wing configuration with no tail planes. It is the
smallest and lightest in the combat supersonic aircraft. It is the second supersonic
aircraft developed by HAL after the HF-24 MARUT. The projected requirement
requirement for IAF is 200 single seat fighter aircrafts and 20 twin seater aircrafts.
DEVELOPMENT
In 1969, the Indian government accepted the recommendation by its Aeronautics
Committee that HAL should design and develop a fighter aircraft around a proven
engine. Based on a tactical air support aircraft ASR markedly similar to that for the
MARUTH HAL completed design studies in 1975, but the project fell through due
to inability to produce the selected proven engine.
The LCA other objectives was to introduce the concept of the
fly by wire, and to develop an engine with after burner. This program also includes
usage of the Doppler radar system in the cockpit.
LCA PROGRAME
The chief designer of the LCA aircraft was DR. K.Harinarayana. He is the director
of the program. Under his supervision the HAL made a delta wing configuration and
relaxed static stability.
THE MAIN AGENDA OF THE LCA PROGRAME
The main agenda of the LCA TEJAS to replace the MIG-21 in the Indian Navy and
Air force. To have a flight with our Indian technology. Out of 35 major components
only 3 of them are foreign made. This shows how India is self-reliance to develop
an aircraft to compete with the other light combat aircrafts like f-16, mirage, f-21.
THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT
The HAL TEJAS designs are completed by 1975, but it was a little bit delay in the
manufacturing process due to the nuclear tests conducted by A.P.J Abdul Kalama in
1998.This results in the ban of production of the engine from the USA. Over 3500
tests are conducted with a flight period of 580 hours. So many difficulties are faced
8. LAKIREDDY BALIREDDY COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

by the designers to develop such highly configured aircraft which can travel up to a
Mach Number of 1.4. The problems they encountered is with the structural analysis.
So many critics are made by US Navy and Air force during the
manufacturing process. They taught that Indian could not develop an aircraft with
highly configured systems. Avionics systems of the LCA TEJAS is developed by
the DRDO AND DLRL.
Another critical technology is the Multi-Mode Radar (MMR).
The Ericsson/Ferranti PS-05/A I/J-band multi-function radar was initially intended
to be used as used on Saab'sJAS 39 Gripen. However, after examining other radars
in the early 1990s, the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO)
became confident that local development was possible. HAL's Hyderabad division
and the LRDE were selected to jointly lead the MMR programme, and work
commenced in 1997. The DRDO's Centre for Airborne System (CABS) is
responsible for the MMR's test programme. Between 1996 and 1997, CABS
converted the surviving HAL/HS-748M Airborne Surveillance Post (ASP) into a
testbed for the LCA's avionics and radar.
The NAL's CLAW team completed integration of the flight control laws by
themselves, with the FCS software performing flawlessly for over 50 hours of pilot
testing on TD-1, resulting in the aircraft being cleared for flight in January 2001.
The automatic flight control system (AFCS) has been praised by all test pilots, one
of whom remarked that he found the LCA easier to take off in than in a Mirage 2000.
DESIGN OF THE LCA TEJAS
The LCA TEJAS is a delta wing configuration system. Its design includes multirole
and multi mission capabilities. This is tailless and minimize the usage of the control
surfaces. Delta wing is designed to be small and light in weight.
Its high alpha performance can give an angle of attack of 26 degrees. The
high rates of roll and pitch. More CFD analysis bought more aerodynamic
characteristics. Permits wider range of loads in the wing section.
The TEJAs is a single-engine multirole fighter which features a tailless, compound
delta wing and is designed with "relaxed static stability" for enhanced
maneuverability. Originally intended to serve as an air superiority aircraft with a
secondary ground-attack role, its flexibility permits a variety of guided air-to-surface
and anti-shipping weapons to be integrated for multirole and mult imission

capabilities. The tailless, compound-delta planform is designed to be small and
lightweight.
This platform also minimizes the control surfaces needed (no tail
planes or foreplans, just a single vertical tailfin), permits carriage of a wider range
of external stores, and confers better close-combat, high-speed, and high-
alpha performance characteristics than comparable cruciform-wing designs.
Extensive wind tunnel testing on scale models and complex computational fluid
dynamics analyses have optimized the aerodynamic configuration for minimum
supersonic drag, a low wing-loading, and high rates of roll and pitch.

COMPOSITION AND AIRFRAME OF THE LCA TEJAS
The LCA tejas is made up of the diffenrent composite material for the structural
strenght.By the usage of the composite materials its weight can be reduced to
maximum limit.so the lift generation can be generated easily.
Fig; composition of LCA TEJAS
The major composite consists of the glass composite material; it contains about 40%
of the carbon fiber composite material. Aluminum alloys consists of 40% and steels
of 4.5% and titanium alloys are 5%.
Carbon fiber composites are used for the manufacturing of the glass cockpit, and
for the manufacturing of the digital screens. Titanium alloys are used in the
manufacturing of the slats, and for the avionics semiconductor material are used.
The use of composites resulted in a 40% reduction in the total number of parts,
including half the number of fasteners required, compared to a metallic frame
design. The composite design also helped to avoid about 2,000 holes being drilled
into the airframe. Overall, the aircraft's weight is lowered by 21%. While each of
these factors can reduce production costs, an additional benefit — and significant
cost savings — is realized in the shorter time required to assemble the aircraft —
seven months for the LCA as opposed to 11 months using an all-metal airframe The
wing-shielded, side-mounted bifurcated, fixed-geometry Y-
duct air intakes with splitter plates ,
can ensure buzz-free air supply into the engine
compressor for thrust generation.

AVIONICS AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS IN LCA TEJAS
The LCA TEJAS consists of the highly configured avionic systems. It includes the
mavayi suite commonly known as electronic welfare suite. The pilot can have a clear
view of the system working on the glass cockpit itself. It consists of get you home
panel which provides information of base in case of the emergency situation.
It had a hands on throttle stick which makes the pilot to feel
better for the flight and cruise manual. Moving target detection can be helpful to
destroy the target. Pulse repetition frequencies, EL/M radar, Scan conversion, D2
links.
GPS will play a prominent role in the location of the aircraft. Air to air and air to
ground datalinks
CONTROL SURFACES
It has relaxed static stability system and digital fly by wire system, Three flaps are
present on the either side of the delta wing which gives high angle of attacks. These
are hydraulically actuated. It is having 4 channel digital computer program. These
are powered by separate units for each system. The programing language used in
this computer is 32 bit ADAPROGAMING language.
Since the TEJAS is a relaxed static stability design, it is equipped with a
quadruplex digital fly-by-wire flight control system to ease pilot handling.
The
TEJAs aerodynamic configuration is based on a pure delta-wing layout with
shoulder-mounted wings. Its control surfaces are all hydraulically actuated. The
wing's outer leading edge incorporates three-section slats, while the inboard sections
have additional slats to generate vortex lift over the inner wing and high-energy air-
flow along the tail fin to enhance high-Angle of attack stability and prevent
departure from controlled flight. The wing trailing edge is occupied by two-
segment elevons to provide pitch and roll control. The only empennage-mounted
control surfaces are the single-piece rudder and two airbrakes located in the upper
rear part of the fuselage, one each on either side of the fin.

SUMARRY:
Now all the difficulties that are arose to the LCA TEJAS is now flown away. Its time
to the LCA to serve for the Indian and Air force for the wing sections of the combat.
Many countries like USA have made a compliment on the configured technology
was made by Indians to compete with them. Srilanka had a made an agreement to
have TEJAS as one of the fighter aircrafts in their army. It shows that how powerful
is our aerospace technology Is.
