The Indian Aerospace and Defence Industry have heralded the beginning of the new decade on a high note. The LCA – Navy, designed and developed indigenously by ADA, has successfully completed its maiden landing and take-off from aboard the Indian aircraft carrier – INS Vikramaditya. This is no mean feat for the developmental agencies, as India becomes only the sixth country to achieve the milestone at the high seas.
