IAF’s Tejas Goes Down at Dubai Air Show; Mechanical Failure Suspected

Another former Indian Air Force officer said that after watching the aircraft fall, it appeared to be in free fall, as if the pilot lost control while coming out of negative gravity. However, sources say it is not right to jump to any conclusions. There are only two causes of such accidents: mechanical failure (technical) and human error.

The Dubai Air Show was going on for five days. It is held every two years and is considered important for the defense market. In this air show, aviation companies from all over the world display their fighter aircraft, civil aviation aircraft, carrier aircraft, helicopters, carrier and reconnaissance aircraft, helicopters and all the equipment of the defense sector. The competition in the international-level defense market is seen. Today was the last day of this show. This accident happened at 3.40 pm Indian time. At that time, the Tejas trainee aircraft was on its demo flight and was performing stunts in the air. It is believed that the pilot might have lost control of the aircraft while it was turning after diving down from the sky. This moment is challenging for a fighter pilot.
