Chief of air staff Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha, on Friday appreciated efforts of defence PSU Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in establishing the state-of-the-art Iron Bird facility at its Aircraft Research and Design Centre (ARDC).
"It is a unique facility and an asset to the LCA Tejas programme," HAL chairman R K Tyagi said, adding that Raha 'appreciated the joint team efforts of HAL and other agencies that has resulted in completion of more than 14,370 hours of rigorous software testing of the aircraft.
The facility allows for an integrity test for the flight control system for statically unstable aircraft such as LCA and very few countries in the world have access to such testing platform.
Iron Bird is the final platform where all the issues of LCA Tejas flight control systems are resolved to ensure safety of the flight.
