Indian Defence Tech Firm Targets First Flight In Q3 2026
Flying Wedge Defence & Aerospace (FWDA) has unveiled the FWD Supreme Lite flight demonstrator, a 250-kg-class technology demonstrator developed as part of the company’s AI-piloted fighter aircraft programme. The demonstrator is intended to validate the programme’s aerodynamic configuration, flight architecture, and key technologies before their potential integration into larger variants. FWDA is targeting the aircraft’s first flight in Q3 2026. The programme follows FWDA’s recently announced Mobbing Doctrine, which focuses on deploying larger numbers of AI-piloted fighter-class aircraft. This development was first reported by an unknown source.
