"It's a pleasure to fly this aircraft," said Tolani, adding that Tejas was
'definitely' at the top when pitted against its contemporaries in the
category.
"It is one of the best platforms in its category," he added.
When asked about qualities that make Tejas a state-of-the-art fighting
machine, Tolani mentioned four-channel digital flyby wire. He said that the
cockpit made fully of glass makes handling of the plane more effective. Tejas
is capable of firing air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles.
"It will be a mainstay of Indian Air Force as it is evolving day-by-day," said
Tolani drawing attention to significant improvements that have been made in
the fighter plane in recent years.
"In years to come this (aircraft) will definitely be a game-changer"
Dubai Air Show has become a platform for not only the manufacturers to display
their wares, but also for air forces around the world to show their might.
The Russian air force is displaying prototype of Su-75 'Checkmate', its new
fifth-generation warplane.
Pitched as a cost-efficient fighter jet, the Checkmate can fly at speeds of
Mach 1.8 and a range of 2,800-2,900 kilometres.
Dubai Air Show kicked off on November 14 and will conclude on November 18.
