Finally, LCA Navy all set for takeoff in Bangalore
 Having missed many deadlines for its maiden flight, the naval prototype of the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA-NP1) is finally expected to fly this week. The LCA-NP1, the country’s first indigenous effort to build a carrier borne naval fighter aircraft, was scheduled to be flight-tested last year. However, technical problems led to postponements a couple of times.  “We are looking at scheduling the flight anytime now. Final trials are currently on,” said DRDO sources.
