Some jokes on LCA ( Light Combat Aircraft) as overheard in HAL
1. Why will LCA not fly?
Because it was not built by aerospace engineers but by civil engineers. They have put a good foundation so that aircraft will not take off.
2. Is LCA a Stealth aircraft?
Yes, it's not only invisible to the radar, but it is also invisible to human eye.
3. When asked if LCA would fly by Feb end 2000 as said by the government to an engineer in HAL, he said, may be it will because you never know what India can do, as India surprised the world with Pokaran test, same could happen with LCA test. He also said that, even the engineers in HAL will be surprised if that happens.
4. What happened to LCA ( Light Combat AirCraft)? Why can't we see it?
It was supposed to be Light Combat AirCraft, First the Light part went because Gtre could not come out with a light engine, the engine would make the aircraft heavy, than It could not be used for Combat because it was heavy. Craft ( Design) of the aircraft is so bad that it can not even be called a craft. So ONLY thing that is left is AIR. That is why we don't see LCA
