		Hindustan Aeronautics has a long history of collaboration with several other international and domestic aerospace agencies such as the Sukhoi Aviation Corporation, Israel Aircraft Industries, Mikoyan-Gurevich, BAE Systems, Dornier Flugzeugwerke, Aeronautical Development Agency and Indian Space Research Organisation.
		It was established as Hindustan Aircraft in Bangalore in 1940 by Walchand Hirachand to produce aircraft; the initiative was actively encouraged by the Kingdom of Mysore, especially the Diwan, Sir Mirza Ismail.
		The British Government bought one-third of the stock-holding by April 1941 as it believed this to be a strategic imperative; In April 1942, it bought out the stake of Walchand Hirachand and other promoters so that it can act freely in case of a Japanese attack during the ensuing Second World War.

		Even if the Tejas is not inducted into the IAF it will be an achievement that the nation could be proud of.
		Secondly, you suggest that Tejas was designed and developed to face the threats of 80's and 90's and may not be suitable for 2005.
		The TEJAS would thus complement the much larger Su-30MK1, with the two types coming to represent the bulk of the IAF combat line until the new fifth generation combat aircraft (currently designated PAKFA) to be developed in cooperation between Russia and India will enter service.

		The Tejas demonstrators and prototypes continue to be powered by a General Electric F404 engine, similar to the one used in the US F/A-18 and the Swedish Gripen.
		In the export arena, the Tejas will have to compete with established rivals such as the Gripen and both new and used F-16s, which exist in the thousands and will continue be available for export when the F-35 begins replacing them in the US and Europe.
		There is no doubt that the Tejas is superior to the aircraft it is intended to replace; however, the air force generals are not just waiting around until the Tejas comes into full production.

	No take-off in sight
		The PV-2's entry into the flight test phase means not only an addition to the Tejas stable but also a quantum leap in the aircraft's build standard.
		With Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), the sub-contractors of the LCA programme, failing to deliver a number of line replacement units (LRUs), the ADA has had to cannibalise PV-1.
		The IAF's continued and obvious lack of enthusiasm for the Tejas and its reluctance to place any orders is certainly hurting the programme.
