Rappel du premier message :

la Korée serait entrain de développer son propre chasseur furtif indigène KFX comme le japon et son projet ATD-X. il y a peu d'information sur ce futur chasseur, tout ce que j'ai pu trouver sur internet est qu'il aura la taille d'un JSF avec deux moteurs de l'ordre de 115–125 kN. les moteurs étudiés sont:
Arrow F414-GE du super hornet
Arrow EJ200/EJ230 du typhoon tranche II/III
Arrow SNECMA M882/3 du rafale F2/F3

Republic of Korea and Indonesia are Negotiating Changes to the KFX/IFX Fighter Program

12 Februari 2019

Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 00b8e12

TSAMTO - A delegation from Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) visited Jakarta to negotiate a renegotiation of the conditions for Indonesia’s participation in the KFX / IFX Korean Fighter Xperiment / Indonesia Fighter Xperiment joint development and construction program.

According to information and documents obtained by the Jane's Defense Weekly from a source on the Defense, Intelligence and Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives of the Indonesian Parliament, the negotiations were held for two days (January 24 and 25).

Indonesia was represented at the meeting by the leaders of the state-owned company PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI), the Ministry of Defense of Indonesia, and the Ministry of Political, Legal and Security Coordination (POLHUKAM).

The document that Jane's received indicates that Indonesia intends to propose to roll over its payment obligations under the program until 2031.

It is also expected that to further reduce the burden on the national defense budget, Indonesia will offer to make payments under the program through countertrade transactions instead of cash, by analogy with the strategy it implements when it purchases Su-35 fighters in Russia.

In addition, Jakarta insists on the expansion of intellectual property rights to technologies developed under the program, with a view to their commercialization in the future.

In accordance with the initial agreement signed between the two countries in 2015, Indonesia is obliged to pay 20% of the total development costs, which is estimated to be about $ 8 billion. The South Korean government will pay 60% of the costs, and KAI will cover the remaining 20 %

In exchange for investments, Indonesia will gain access to the technologies and know-how developed under the program, as well as the right to acquire fighters.

Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 00b8f12

According to current plans, the first prototype of the KFX / IFX is scheduled to roll out by 2021, flight tests begin in 2022, and production - in 2026.

The document states that after the start of serial production, Indonesia intends to acquire an initial batch of 16 aircraft. Jakarta also insists PTDI grants sales of KFX / IFX aircraft to potential buyers outside Indonesia.

KAI announced the launch of the KFX program in 2001, the aircraft was originally conceived as a subtle twin-engined multi-role fighter. In 2011, the Republic of Korea concluded an agreement with Indonesia on cost-sharing for the development of KFX / IFX, and its combat use was supposed to begin in 2023.

However, in 2012, the program faced financial difficulties and then President of the Republic of Korea Pak Geun-hye in early 2013 suspended its implementation. The program resumed in 2014, when the Republic of Korea and Indonesia signed a joint design and development agreement that governs the participation of countries in the program.

In 2018, Indonesian officials confirmed to national media that Jakarta did not fully pay for participation in the KFX / IFX program and the deficit was due to a reduction in the defense budget. In 2018, defense spending in Indonesia decreased by 12% compared with 2017 and amounted to $ 7.2 billion. At the same time, less than $ 1 billion was allocated for purchases, research and development.

In the future, Indonesia intends to replenish the fleet of Russian-made aircraft with the KFX / IFX platform, and Seoul plans to replace the outdated F-4E “Phantom” and F-5E “Tiger-2” aircraft and, eventually, the F-16. As expected, the Air Force of the Republic of Korea will acquire up to 250 aircraft. About 350 KFX / IFX are expected to be exported.

KF-X fighter prototype to be rolled out in first half of 2021, DAPA confirms

Gabriel Dominguez, London - Jane's Defence Weekly

26 September 2019

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) is expected to complete construction of the first KF-X fighter aircraft prototype by the first half of 2021 and conduct the first test flight of the platform a year later, South Korea's Defence Acquisition Programme Administration (DAPA) confirmed in a 26 September statement.

DAPA said that the critical design phase of the aircraft has now been completed, allowing the KF-X/IF-X project, which stands for Korean Fighter eXperimental/Indonesian Fighter eXperimental, to move on to the next phase: prototype construction.

Development of the single-seat, twin-engined, multirole aircraft began in January 2016, with the preliminary design of the KF-X being finalised in June 2018. Production work on the first prototype began in February 2018, with KAI announcing at the time that it had started manufacturing the aircraft's bulk head.

As Jane's reported, the KF-X development programme envisages the production of six prototypes, followed by four years of trials and the completion of development by mid-2026. Serial production of the aircraft will take place during 2026-32, with an initial 120 units intended to replace the Republic of Korea Air Force's (RoKAF's) ageing fleets of F-4E Phantom and F-5E Tiger II aircraft.

Total production is expected to exceed 350 units, including a quota for exports.

Indonesia is currently renegotiating its involvement in the programme, although Jakarta remains committed to honouring its payment obligations set out under a 2015 financial agreement.

Under this original agreement, which is now subject to renegotiation, Indonesia committed to paying for 20% of the total development costs, which are estimated at about USD8 billion. The South Korean government would pay for 60% of the development programme, with prime contractor KAI covering the remaining 20%.

KAI's industry partner on the project is PT Dirgantara Indonesia.

La Corée du Sud débute l'assemblage du prototype du KFX !


Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 _12e280

Séoul, l’agence coréenne d’achat d’armes (DAPA), a achevé la semaine dernière, son examen critique de la conception du futur avion de combat coréen biréacteur et l’a approuvé vendredi dernier. La production d'un prototype va débuter avant la fin du mois d’octobre.

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) prépare activement la conception du KFX (Korean Fighter Experimental). Dans les usines de KAI à Sacheon, dans le Gyeongsang du Sud, environ 1’250 chercheurs et ingénieurs travaillent d'arrache-pied au développement du KFX depuis 2001.

Le projet est actuellement devisé à environ 15 milliards de dollars. Selon le poste parole de l’avionneur 78% du projet, y compris les composants clés qui sont déjà prêts pour la production du prototype. En tant que projet national majeur, le développement du KFX est dirigé par l’Agence gouvernementale pour le développement de la défense (ADD) et l’avionneur KAI, mais environ 225 entreprises privées font également partie du processus, y compris tous les principaux sous-traitants de la défense du pays. Parmi les intervenants étrangers dans le projet figurent la société Indonésien Aéronautique l’américain Lockheed Martin, qui ont fourniront une assistance technique.

A terme le KFX doit venir remplacer la flotte de chasseurs F-4 et F-5 de l’armée de l’air achetée dans les années 1960. Au départ du programme, le KFX est classé comme un chasseur de la génération 4++ doté de capacités avioniques et de frappe améliorées. Mais, il va disposer de plusieurs caractéristiques de furtivité et des performances supérieures qui pourraient le rendre comparable avec un avion furtif de cinquième génération.

KAI a hésité à révéler avec précision le type de mécanisme de furtivité dont dispose le jet, mais sa section efficace radar (RCS) soit la principale mesure de furtivité sur les aéronefs militaires, ne mesure que 0,5 mètre carré (5,4 pieds carrés).

KAI a conçu le fuselage du KFX pour qu’il ressemble à un jet furtif semblable au F-22 de Lockheed Martin. La plupart des capteurs sont situés à l'intérieur de l'avion, tandis que les quatre missiles air-air installés sur le KFX sont à moitié enfouis dans la partie centrale du fuselage. Il reste ainsi de la place dans l'avion pour l'installation d'une soute d'armes interne, élément caractéristique des chasseurs furtifs.

Mais KAI ne veut pas sacrifier la maniabilité de l’avion, il sera capable d'effectuer des manœuvres serrées pour se comporter comme les meilleurs avions actuels. L’une des grandes difficultés de la Corée du Sud tient dans le développement d’un radar AESA pour le KFX. En effet, le pays n’a pas d’expérience dans ce domaine. Près de 800 millions de dollars ont été investis dans le développement du radar AESA jusqu'en 2026. Un prototype du radar sera testé en Israël d'ici le printemps prochain, suivi d'un autre vol d'essai en Corée à partir de novembre prochain. À partir de 2023, il sera installé sur le prototype KFX pour une dernière série de tests qui devront mener le projet à maturité.

Le poids cible pour la KFX était de 13 tonnes au début de la conception du projet en 2001, mais les concepteurs ont dû réduire de 500 kg supplémentaires pour tenir compte des ajouts futurs.

Dans les usines de KAI à Sacheon dans le Gyeongsang du Sud, environ 1’250 chercheurs et ingénieurs travaillent d'arrache-pied au développement du KFX.

KAI prévoit de dévoiler le premier prototype d’ici avril 2021 et, après un nombre suffisant de vols d’essais, le premier lot de huit avions à réaction devrait être livré à l’armée de l’air d’ici 2026. Des inquiétudes demeurent toutefois, à savoir que la durée de quatre ans réservés aux tests en vol peut être insuffisante.

Différence de vision :

La volonté du Parlement coréen a toujours été dirigée vers une modernisation au sens large de l’armée et moins dépendante du programme américain du F-35. Le Parlement coréen a toujours défendu la faisabilité d’un programme indigène, alors que le Ministère de Défense optait pour le tout « F-35 » et une totale dépendance aux Etats-Unis.

Le missile air-air Meteor de MBDA a été sélectionné par le ministère de la Défense sud-coréen en vue d'armer le futur avion de combat sud, KF-X (Korean Fighter - Xperiment).

Très bonne nouvelle pour MBDA qui monte à bord du futur avion de combat sud-coréen KF-X (Korean Fighter - Xperiment), développé en coopération avec l'Indonésie. Le missilier européen a obtenu un contrat de Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) en vue d'intégrer le missile air-air Meteor sous le KF-X. L'accord prévoit également que KAI réalisera le support du missile et bénéficiera d'un transfert de technologies et de fabrication des équipements de test en vue d'intégrer le missile à bord du KF-X pour les campagnes d'essais. "La Corée du Sud est un marché stratégique pour MBDA", qui a déjà vendu près de 300 missiles de croisière Taurus KEPD 350K, a rappelé le PDG de MBDA, Éric Béranger.

Selon MBDA, le Meteor est le missile air-air le plus avancé au monde qui dispose d'un autodirecteur électromagnétique actif et d'une propulsion à statoréacteur unique. Ce qui lui permet de voler plus loin et plus vite que tout autre missile air-air. Il est conçu pour intercepter une cible de type avion de chasse moderne à une distance de plusieurs dizaines de kilomètres. Les coûts du programme ont été partagés entre le Royaume-Uni (34,6%), l'Allemagne (21%), la France (12,4%), l'Italie (12%) , l'Espagne (10%) et enfin la Suède (10%). Le Meteor équipe déjà les avions Rafale, Gripen et Eurofighter et bientôt le F-35 des Britanniques et probablement un jour des Italiens. L'armée de l'air française a réalisé "les premiers tirs (du Meteor, ndlr) depuis des Rafale en début d'année (2019)", avait expliqué en mai dernier le chef d'état-major de l'armée de l'air, le général Philippe Lavigne.

Le KF-X prêt pour 2026?

Le premier prototype d'avion de combat KF-X devrait être déployé au cours du premier semestre 2021. Le premier vol d'essai devrait être mené un an plus tard. Les vols d'essai devraient être achevés au premier semestre 2026. En parallèle, KAI produira six des premiers avions de combat KF-X cette année-là. Le projet KF-X est le projet le plus important de l'armée sud-coréenne, son budget total s'élevant à environ 8,8 milliards de won (7,56 milliards de dollars). Les gouvernements sud-coréen et indonésien couvrent respectivement 60% et 20% du budget, tandis que les groupes de défense sud-coréens financent 20%.

Israel's Elbit Systems announced on 6 February that it has been awarded a contract by Hanwha Systems to equip the Republic of Korea Air Force's (RoKAF's) future KF-X fighter aircraft with its terrain following/terrain avoidance (TF/TA) systems.

The Haifa-based company said in a statement that the contract, which is worth USD43 million, will be performed over a six-year period.

"Embedding Elbit Systems' TF/TA solution enables fighter jets to fly and manoeuvre safely at low-altitudes, in zero visibility, and harsh weather conditions [instrument meteorological conditions], thereby enhancing their capability to operate undetected in hostile territory," said the company.

Interfacing with the autopilot system, the TF/TA avionics system to be supplied to the South Korea "fuses data from a range of onboard sensors and a digital terrain elevation data base, together with flight performance characteristics, enabling the aircraft to maintain optimal altitude throughout the mission", it added.

South Korea has been making progress with the development of its future Korean/Indonesian Fighter eXperimental (KF-X/IF-X) fighter aircraft. The country's Defence Acquisition Program Administration confirmed in September that Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) is expected to complete construction of the first KF-X prototype by the first half of 2021 and conduct the first test flight of the platform a year later.

The agency said at the time that the critical design phase of the aircraft had been completed, allowing the KF-X/IF-X project to move to the prototype construction phase.

KAI displayed in mid-October 2019 a full-scale mock-up of the KF-X at the Seoul International Aerospace and Defence Exhibition (ADEX) 2019. KAI also showcased a mock-up of the KF-X's cockpit.

KF-X will be Equipped with Indigenous Air-Launched Supersonic Anti-Ship Missile

01 April 2020


Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 043

equiped with this missile (image : KAI)


[Biz Korea] We are considering the introduction of a air-launched supersonic anti-ship missile capable of neutralizing aircraft carriers in neighboring countries. According to officials of the military, it was confirmed that in the early March of the March, the announcement of a prior research survey analysis was issued under the name of the 'Air-launched Missile-2'. It will begin in August of this year, and will be conducted for 4 months until December.

In general, anti-ship missiles fly at subsonic speeds of about 0.5 to 0.7 Mach, while supersonic anti-ship missiles fly at Mach 2 to 3, making it very difficult to intercept from the defending side. It is especially known as a useful weapon for neutralizing aircraft carriers. As an example, the 'Hsiung Feng-III supersonic anti-ship missile' developed and deployed by Taiwan independently flies at a speed of Mach 2 or more and has the nickname of 'carrier killer', that is, the aircraft carrier killer.

Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 _12f3575

In the course of the test, missiles broke through the hull of large landing ship tanks.  Because it is faster than subsonic anti-ship missiles, it produces considerable power with pure kinetic energy alone. For this reason, China, a neighboring country, has developed and transformed various types of supersonic anti-ship missiles that can be launched from the ground, sea, and underwater and air.

Japan is also known to have developed an ASM-3 supersonic  anti-ship missiles equipped and operated by F-2 fighters. In January 2018, it was reported that development was completed in Japan, but instead of going into mass production, it is promoting improvement to extend the range. In this regard, military expert Moon Seung-beom, an issuer of monthly Defense Times Korea, said, "This movement in Japan is interpreted as being highly aware of China's aircraft carrier."

Unlike neighboring countries such as China, Japan, and Taiwan, Korea has not yet used supersonic anti-ship missiles. However, it was reported that development was in progress with the goal of actual deployment this year through media reports last year. Although no detailed information on the supersonic anti-ship missile being developed as a confidential business, that is, as a confidential business, has not been released, developments have been reviewed since 2007 and are expected to operate on land, sea and underwater.

Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 _12f3574

It is also a matter of how our military will introduce supersonic anti-ship missile. Prior studies have not yet been conducted, but our main importers of weapons, the United States and Europe, do not have supersonic anti-ship missiles. For this reason, plans to improve the supersonic anti-ship missiles currently being developed in Korea are considered promising.

In the case of supersonic anti-ship missile, it is planned to be installed and operated on a fighter plane. In the case of F-35A, F-15K, and KF-16 fighter jets operated by the Air Force, the U.S. government and fighter manufacturer's permission are required when integrating domestically developed weapons into U.S. fighters. And a huge budget for test evaluation. For this reason, domestic defense industry officials consider that it is highly likely to be mounted on the KF-X, a Korean fighter, considering the future business period. Particularly, in the case of KF-X, there are no restrictions on the installation of domestic armament since it is progressed by domestic development.

GE Aviation delivers first F414 engine to South Korea for KF-X program

June 2020 news defense aviation aerospace air force industry
Posted On  Monday, 08 June 2020 10:25
 


GE Aviation delivered the first F414-GE-400K engine in May to Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd (KAI) for South Korea’s next-generation indigenous fighter, known as the KF-X. Developed for the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF), the F414-powered KF-X will deliver significantly greater mission capability, extended combat radius and longer lifespan compared to current aircraft.

Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 _12f6a40

“GE is thrilled to reach this important milestone in the KF-X program,” said Al DiLibero, general manager of GE’s Medium Combat & Trainer Engines department. “Our success so far on this program reflects the strong relationship between the ROKAF, our South Korean industry partners and GE Aviation, and the long and successful history of our engines powering ROKAF aircraft."

South Korea’s Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd (KAI) selected GE Aviation in May 2016 to supply F414-GE-400K engines for the KF-X fighter. The multi-role KF-X aircraft, a $7.4 billion project, is being designed and built by KAI. The KF-X aircraft will replace Korea’s F-4D/E Phantom II and F-5E/F Tiger II fleet. The development program is scheduled to be completed in 2026, which includes the production of 15 F414 flight test engines and six prototype fighters by 2021. Flight testing will occur in 2023. 120 KF-X aircraft are scheduled for production serving the South Korean armed forces. GE Aviation will provide 240 F414 production engines plus spares.

GE has partnered with South Korea many times to power aircraft in their inventory. GE’s F404 engines currently power South Korea’s T-50 Golden Eagle, a high-performance supersonic trainer developed with KAI for the ROKAF. GE’s T700 turboshaft engines power the Korean utility helicopter Surion. Additionally, GE’s F110 engines power the ROKAF’s F-15K aircraft.

GE’s F414 engine went into service in 1998 and has flown more than 4.6 million flight hours with more than 1,750 engines delivered. In addition to the KF-X, the F414 powers Boeing’s F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler, Saab’s JAS 39E/F Gripen, India’s Tejas Mark 2, and Lockheed Martin and NASA’s X-59 Quiet Supersonic Transport.

South Korea to Develop Supersonic ASM for Future KF-X Fighter Aircraft


01 Juli 2020

Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 _12f6155

South Korea is planning to develop a new supersonic air-to-surface missile (ASM) that is expected to be carried by the Republic of Korea Air Force’s (RoKAF’s) future Korean Fighter eXperimental (KF-X) multirole fighter aircraft.

A Joint Chief of Staff (JCS) official told Janes on 30 June that the weapon is expected to fly at speeds in excess of Mach 2.5, weigh less than 3,000 lb (1.36 tonnes) and have a range of at least 250 km.

No further details were provided about the ASM.

The revelation comes after Janes reported on 28 May that South Korea had recently completed the selection process for the precision-guided munitions and guidance kits it plans to integrate with the KF-X, which is being developed by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), with PT Dirgantara Indonesia as KAI’s industry partner on the project.

South Korean military officials told Janes on 28 May that Raytheon’s GBU-12 Paveway II, Boeing’s GBU-31/38 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), GBU-54/56 Laser JDAM, and GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb1 (SDB1), as well as Textron’s Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser (WCMD) CBU-105 had all been selected for integration with the KF-X.

They said the integration process for the smart bombs and guidance kits, all of which are already in service with the RoKAF, would start later this year, with full integration expected over the coming six to seven years.

The move comes after MBDA Missile Systems announced in November 2019 that it had been awarded a contract for the integration of its Meteor beyond visual range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) with the KF-X.

Also set for integration is the IRIS-T short-range air-to-air missile (SRAAM) by Germany’s Diehl Defence, with a contract expected to be signed in the near future.

DAPA said in a statement that the company has begun joining the aircraft’s fuselage sections and wings at its facility in Sacheon, South Gyeongsang Province, and confirmed that, despite the ongoing Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, the prototype is expected to be rolled out in the first half of next year as planned.

KAI had previously stated that the twin-engined aircraft, development of which began in 2015 for the Republic of Korea Air Force (RoKAF), would be unveiled to the public in April 2021. Janes understands that the prototype is expected to conduct its first flight in 2022.

The KF-X, development of which is scheduled to be completed in 2026, is expected to reach a top speed of about 1,400 mph (or about Mach 1.83), have a range of about 2,900 km, a maximum take-off weight of 25,580 kg, and be capable of carrying up to 7,700 kg of payload.

The aircraft, which is expected to be produced in both single- and tandem-seat variants, will feature three hardpoints under each wing for weapons and/or external fuel tanks and will also be capable of carrying four missiles under the fuselage, according to KAI

Negotiations Under Way with Indonesia over Fighter Jet Project: official
10 Februari 2021

Assembling of first prototype of KF-X fighter (all photos : YonhapNews)


SEOUL (Yonhap) -- South Korea is in talks with Indonesia about a joint project to develop a next-generation fighter jet, the head of the arms procurement agency said Tuesday, amid speculation that the Southeast Asian nation wants to quit the project.

Indonesia agreed to partner in South Korea's KF-X project aimed at developing a new fighter jet by 2026, and promised to shoulder 20 percent of the total development cost of 8.8 trillion won (US$7.3 billion), or about 1.7 trillion won.

But Indonesia stopped making payments after investing 227.2 billion won, with around 600 billion won overdue.

"We are in the process of sounding out each other's position," Kang Eun-ho, chief of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, said during a press briefing. "We will elaborate in detail when the time is right."

Indonesia's initial goal was to procure aircraft for its air force and advance the country's aerospace industry through the partnership but foreign media have been reporting that the Southeast Asian nation is now pushing to sign a deal with France to purchase new fighter jets.

Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 1297

South Korea has been working on the KF-X project since 2015 to develop a homegrown cutting-edge fighter aircraft to replace the Air Force's aging fleet of F-4 and F-5 jets.

In September last year, Korea Aerospace Industries Co. got down to the final assembly of a prototype that is expected to be made public by April.

When the development is complete, 40 units are planned to be delivered to the Air Force by 2028 and another 80 units by 2032, officials said.

Meanwhile, Kang also vowed to thoroughly prepare to secure a light aircraft carrier for the military, saying that multiple researches are under way for the project.

"We will make thorough preparations to make sure there are no setbacks in pushing for the project when the budget is secured at the National Assembly," he said.

SACHEON, South Korea (Yonhap) -- South Korea will showcase a prototype of the country's first indigenous fighter jet in April, the arms procurement agency has said.

Jung Kwang-sun, heading the KF-X program at the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, said the planned rollout event will be a "landmark moment" for the country and the aerospace industry.

Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 1382

"After working only with the blueprint so far, we will now have something we can actually see and test whether what we have been studying actually works," Jung told reporters at the Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) headquarters in the southern city of Sacheon on Wednesday.

Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 12113

South Korea has been working on the next-generation fighter development project since late 2015 to replace the Air Force's aging fleet of F-4 and F-5 jets.

With a maximum payload of 7,700 kilograms, the new warplane will have 10 pods for air-to-air missiles and other weapons, capable of flying at 2,200 kph with a flying range of 2,900 km.

KAI Aerospace prépare la présentation du prototype du KF-X !


Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 14a54

L’avionneur coréen KAI Aerospace présentera officiellement le premier prototype du KF-X en avril prochain. L’évènement sera historique pour le pays et l'industrie aérospatiale.

La Corée du Sud travaille sur le projet de développement d’un avion de combat de nouvelle génération depuis la fin de 2015 pour remplacer la flotte vieillissante d'avions McDonnell F-4 « Phantom » et Northrop F-5 de l'armée de l'air. Le KF-X est l'un des projets nationaux les plus importants pour remplacer les chasseurs actuels de l'armée de l'air et pour introduire le chasseur de prochaine génération qui peut satisfaire le concept d'opération du futur du champ de bataille. En outre, KAI travaille sur le développement de l'avionique, ainsi que sur le futur ordinateur de mission et de contrôle de vol. Le projet de développement est estimé à 7,9 milliards de dollars.

Pour une étude plus approfondie et un développement efficace, 16 universités, 11 laboratoires et 553 fournisseurs participent au projet KF-X et 100 ingénieurs de développement supplémentaires ont été embauchés. De son côté le motoriste américain General-Electric a livré les moteurs F414-GE-400K du chasseur KF-X.

Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 1472

Le calendrier :

Actuellement les ingénieurs sont occupés à apporter la touche finale à l'assemblage du modèle d'essai. Dans une couleur jaune-vert, le prototype du KF-X semblable à un avion furtif dans la conception sera peint en gris foncé avant son événement de présentation.

KAI Aerospace prévoit d'achever la construction de trois prototypes d'ici la fin de l'année et de conclure en assembler trois autres d'ici le premier semestre de l'année prochaine. Le premier test en vol est prévu pour 2022, l'ensemble du développement devant être achevé d'ici 2026.

Séparément, deux copies supplémentaires seront faites pour des tests au sol afin d'examiner la durabilité du jet et les éventuelles faiblesses de structure.

Tous les jets d'essai ont été conçus légèrement différemment pour effectuer divers tests. Certains sont monoplaces et les autres biplaces.

Une fois le développement terminé, 40 unités seront livrées à l'armée de l'air d'ici 2028 et 80 unités supplémentaires d'ici 2032.

Priorité à la Corée du Sud :

L’Administration du programme d’acquisition de défense de la Corée du Sud (DAPA) a révélé son intention d’introduire une politique d’achat de matériel de défense qui donne officiellement la priorité à l’approvisionnement local par rapport aux importations.

La DAPA a déclaré que le programme « Buy Korea Defence » (BKD) était conforme aux objectifs de la loi sur le développement de l’industrie de la défense récemment introduite. Les détails du BKD, a-t-il déclaré, ont été présentés lors d'une réunion du 11 mars d'un nouveau conseil du DAPA mis en place pour faire adopter des réformes en vertu de la législation.

La DAPA a déclaré que la politique de BKD exigerait l'évaluation des avantages que les programmes locaux de recherche, de développement (R&D), de production et d'approvisionnement apporteraient à l'économie nationale.

La Corée du Sud a présenté des plans pour donner la priorité à l'acquisition de composants et de systèmes fabriqués localement sur des plates-formes clés telles que l'avion de combat KF-X. Il a ajouté : « Dans le cas des projets qui ne peuvent pas être décidés par des achats à l'étranger, la réglementation sera modifiée afin que les entreprises nationales doivent participer au processus d'appel d'offres».

Le KAI Aerospace KF-X

Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 13a17

Avec une charge utile maximale de 7’700 kilogrammes, le nouvel avion aura 10 nacelles pour missiles air-air et autres armes, capables de voler à 2’200 km/h avec une portée de 2’900 km.

Au départ du programme, le KF-X était classé comme un chasseur de la génération 4++ doté de capacités avioniques et de frappe améliorées. Mais, il va disposer de plusieurs caractéristiques de furtivité et des performances supérieures qui pourraient le rendre comparable avec un avion furtif de cinquième génération.

KAI a hésité à révéler avec précision le type de mécanisme de furtivité dont dispose le jet, mais sa section efficace radar (RCS) soit la principale mesure de furtivité sur les aéronefs militaires, ne mesure que 0,5 mètre carré (5,4 pieds carrés).

KAI a conçu le fuselage du KFX pour qu’il ressemble à un jet furtif semblable au F-22 de Lockheed Martin. La plupart des capteurs sont situés à l'intérieur de l'avion, tandis que les quatre missiles air-air installés sur le KFX sont à moitié enfouis dans la partie centrale du fuselage. Il reste ainsi de la place dans l'avion pour l'installation d'une soute d'armes interne, élément caractéristique des chasseurs furtifs.

Mais, KAI ne veut pas sacrifier la maniabilité de l’avion, il sera capable d'effectuer des manœuvres serrées pour se comporter comme les meilleurs avions actuels. L’une des grandes difficultés de la Corée du Sud tient dans le développement d’un radar AESA pour le KF-X. En effet, le pays n’a pas d’expérience dans ce domaine. Près de 800 millions de dollars ont été investis dans le développement du radar AESA jusqu'en 2026. Un prototype du radar sera testé en Israël ce printemps, suivi d'un autre vol d'essai en Corée à partir de novembre prochain. À partir de 2023, il sera installé sur le prototype KFX pour une dernière série de tests qui devront mener le projet à maturité.

Le poids cible pour la KF-X était de 13 tonnes au début de la conception du projet en 2001, mais les concepteurs ont dû réduire de 500 kg supplémentaires pour tenir compte des ajouts futurs.

Dans les usines de KAI à Sacheon dans le Gyeongsang du Sud, environ 1’250 chercheurs et ingénieurs travaillent d'arrache-pied au développement du KF-X.

KAI sets sights on Asia No. 1 in ‘new space’ era

By Kim Byung-wook

Korea‘s sole aircraft manufacturer aims to carve out a niche in satellite biz; KF-X fighter price set at $65m

Published : Apr 4, 2021 - 16:30Updated : Apr 4, 2021 - 16:33


From flying cars to private satellites, the paradigm of global aerospace industry is shifting faster than ever.

After SpaceX ushered in the dawn of the “new space” age, private players are now making an aggressive foray into the space industry, which had been dominated by governmental agencies.

At this turbulent time, Korea Aerospace Industries, the nation’s sole aircraft manufacturer, aims to capture new opportunities in order to rise as Asia’s No. 1 aerospace company by 2030.

Ahead of a rollout of its next-generation KF-X fighter jet this week, Korea’s main-bourse listed KAI laid out strategies at a press conference on Friday on how it will raise the revenue from this year’s projected 3 trillion won ($2.6 trillion) to 10 trillion won by 2030.

Some 3 trillion won of the target amount, according to KAI President and CEO Ahn Hyun-ho, should come from new businesses -- urban air mobility (UAM) and satellite analysis services -- and the rest from its main business of aircraft manufacturing.

“By the end of 2020s, KAI will develop an independent UAM model with five propellers that can travel 400 kilometers carrying up to five passengers,” said Song Ho-chul, head of business management strategy at KAI, during his presentation to reporters in the Grand Ballroom of Coex in southern Seoul.

“Aircraft is the basics and the flight control technology is the key of the UAM business. KAI has decades of know-hows in this. Many companies have announced that they will launch UAM business, but KAI is already in it.”

According to Morgan Stanley estimates in 2019, the global UAM market size is predicted to reach $1.47 trillion in 2040.

However, if there’s one thing KAI lacks in the UAM business, it’s brand power.

“There will be different types of UAMs, and the fight will be about whose model becomes the standard. KAI can make great UAMs, but can we compete in terms of brand and lead the market standard? So KAI is closely monitoring the market and looking for a consortium to partner up,” Ahn said, adding that KAI is currently in talks with a local company for a potential partnership.

As for its satellite business, KAI hopes to carve out a place of its own in the global satellite industry.

“KAI is not trying to compete against SpaceX or Blue Origin. While the two focus on reusable launch systems and satellite communications services, KAI’s main business model is satellite footage analysis services,” said Han Chang-heon, head of KAI’s future business division.

SpaceX and Blue Origin’s satellite internet services require thousands of small low-Earth satellites, which operate from 500 kilometers to 2,000 kilometers above Earth’s surface, whereas traditional big and mid-sized satellites are stationed far higher, at roughly 36,000 kilometers. Such close distance allows LEO satellites to send and return data much faster and have the potential to rival or possibly exceed ground-based networks.

But KAI has no plans of yet to provide satellite internet services, Han said.

“A conventional satellite can spin together with the Earth and have its location fixed above one country. However, an LEO satellite, due to its short distance with Earth, has to keep spinning. For this reason, when an LEO satellite is right above the Korean Peninsula, for example, it can’t provide internet service to the region no more than four minutes,” he said.

Instead, KAI aims to launch a business that doesn’t require a belt of thousands of small satellites -- satellite footage analysis services. KAI is currently developing small satellites with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and Satrec Initiative -- the nation’s sole developer and manufacturer of key satellite components.

“For example, the analysis service will provide clients with weather forecasts and locations of oil reserves. There are a lot of Southeast Asian countries who want the service. For now, KAI is in talks with Airbus to source satellite footages from the European aerospace giant and provide analysis services to Southeast Asian customers,” CEO Ahn said.

While pursuing future growth engines in full force, KAI pledged to bolster environmental, social and governance efforts through developing electric airplanes.

“KAI will develop a prototype of an electric airplane by 2029. There are two ways we can power the electric airplane -- either by a hybrid engine or with hydrogen fuel cells. There is a question mark over which technology will prevail, but KAI will complete (airplane electrification) technology by 2025 and flight operation system by 2029,” said Chief Technology Officer Yoon Chong-ho.


Above all, KAI expressed a determination to reignite aircraft exports this year, which had been dealt a massive blow from the coronavirus outbreak.

“Last year, KAI was this close to exporting three Surion choppers to Indonesia, but the deal was called off due to COVID-19. Also, KAI was in a favorable situation to export Surion choppers and KT-1 basic training aircraft to the Philippines, but the country sliced defense budget amid the pandemic,” Ahn said.

“This year, we are hoping to export two FA-50 advanced trainer jets to Thailand. Also, we are concentrating our efforts to export FA-50 jets to Columbia and Malaysia.”

The pandemic also almost crippled the company’s much-anticipated KF-X project.

“The KF-X program requires key components imported from Europe and the US. However, the pandemic triggered shutdowns in those regions, pushing back the project’s schedule by six months. ... we managed to put things back on track at the end of December. I can’t thank my staff and executives enough who slept at the office to solve this issue,” Ahn said.

KAI will hold a launching event of the 4.5-generation stealth fighter jet in the second week of this month, according to the CEO.

Starting 2028, KAI will begin the export of the KF-X aircraft based on its competitiveness in price.

“It takes about 100 billion won to 200 billion won to acquire one F-35 fighter jet. Lockheed Martin aims to bring down the price to $80 million per unit, but the maintenance costs are so high that even the US is considering to develop new 4.5 generation fighters or upgrade existing fighters,” said Ryu Kwang-su, head of aircraft program division.

“KAI aims to set the price of KF-X fighter at $65 million with minimized maintenance costs. Our analysis says that such price range will offer KF-X a competitive edge in the global export market.”

Korea Confident of KF-X Deal with Indonesia ‎

Korea confident of fighter deal despite default

Indonesia is defaulting on a deal with South Korea to build fighter jets, sitting on its contribution to the project worth at least 8 trillion won ($7.1 billion), but Seoul is confident that it could manage the undertaking without the Southeast Asian country.

The KF-X program, in which Korea holds 80 percent of shares while Indonesia seeks 20 percent and technology know-how, is set to reveal its prototype jet Friday -- but Indonesia has so far paid just $22 million, about 13 percent of what it owes.

Indonesia has reportedly asked Korea to cut its burden in half or approve a loan and help build local production lines, though the Korean government denies it has received any such request.

The Indonesian defense minister, who will attend the unveiling ceremony in Korea, is expected to address the dispute with his Korean counterpart. Indonesia has not made clear why it needs the assistance. The local economy, now reeling from COVID-19 fallout, is reportedly among the reasons.

“There is nothing yet, no material change to the contract between the two countries. We’re still looking into what we can do about it,” a senior Seoul official said.

The director general in charge of the program at the arms procurement agency was clearer on Indonesia’s potential pullout.

“Even if we come to cease partnership, the program will go on,” the director general said in February when he was briefing reporters at the KF-X production site to show last-minute preparations for the Friday’s rollout ceremony, which takes place at the same site in Sacheon, South Gyeongsang Province.

Korea’s confidence lies in the fact that it can build prototype jets, without Indonesian help, to test them before starting mass production, which could begin in 2026 at the earliest. Korea expects to make 120 jets. Indonesia, which will be given one prototype along with the technology know-how, is responsible for 48.

Also, Korea would not be dealing with surging costs for mass production even if Indonesia withdraws from the commitment, according to a senior Seoul official familiar with the project.

“Let’s say Indonesia pulls out -- though that’s not what we think will or should happen -- the total costs for the entire fleet will not be as heavily affected as some say it would,” he said.

An official at the arms procurement agency said Korea would not have to return what Indonesia has paid up either, as their contract prevents such an action in the case of recurring defaults. But that is purely a technicality on which the agency would consult with Indonesia, the official said.

Nevertheless, the government is seeking to work the situation out with Indonesia, the agency said.

Seoul is seen as trying to embrace Indonesia, the largest buyer of Korea’s weapons. It accounted for 17 percent of Korea’s arms exports from 2014 to 2018, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.

“Breaking the partnership -- which is essentially turning our back on Indonesia -- is not a smart move,” a Seoul official said, adding it would also affect Korea’s long-term initiative to carve out its presence in the aerospace market.

“Partners are like insurance. We need an outsider on the program to sell it to the outside world,” the Seoul official said. (KoreaHerald)

S. Korea, Indonesia pushing for defense ministerial talks

SEOUL, April 5 (Yonhap) -- South Korea is in talks with Indonesia to set up defense ministerial talks on the occasion of an upcoming rollout ceremony showcasing a prototype of South Korea's first indigenous fighter jet this month, the defense ministry said Monday.

Whether Indonesia, a partner for the KF-X project, will send senior officials to the rollout ceremony has been a focus of attention as it could be a sign the country remains committed to the joint project amid speculation it is seeking to quit the business.

Sources said Indonesian Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto is expected to attend the event, which will take place in the first couple of weeks of April, but the ministry has yet to confirm his attendance.

"A ministerial meeting will be possible if Prabowo visits South Korea. We are cooperating with all possibilities open," ministry spokesman Boo Seung-chan told a regular press briefing. "As Minister Prabowo has also visited Japan, we are actively having discussions with Indonesia."

Indonesia had promised to shoulder 20 percent of the new fighter's 8.8 trillion-won (US$7.9 billion) development cost, but it has stopped making payments after investing 227.2 billion won with around 600 billion won overdue.

Amid a media report Indonesia has asked to halve its contribution for the project, the arms procurement agency denied adjustment in the burden sharing ratio.

"The report that it has demanded the construction of local production facilities is also not true," Defense Acquisition Program Administration spokesman Col. Seo Yong-won said.

Asked to comment on the reported request of $5 billion worth of loans from South Korea, Seo said, "It is not a question to be answered by the arms procurement agency."

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/09/asia/south-korea-kf-21-fifth-generation-fighter-jet-intl-hnk/index.html a écrit:
South Korea rolls out the KF-21, joining elite group of global supersonic fighter jet makers

Seoul (CNN)South Korea unveiled its homegrown supersonic jet fighter on Friday, joining an exclusive club of military aviation giants and setting the stage for a $5.2 billion program it hopes will be a top export driver and jobs creator.

Once operational, the KF-21 jet is expected to be armed with a range of air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles -- and possibly even air-launched cruise missiles.
The twin-engine fighters will come in single- and two-seat versions, depending on the missions to which they are tasked.
"A new era of independent defense has begun, and it's a historic milestone in the development of the [South Korean] aviation industry," President Moon Jae-in said at the rollout of the KF-21, nicknamed Boramae, or "young hawk trained for hunting," at the production plant of Korea Aerospace Industries in Sacheon, South Gyeongsang province.
Moon said after ground and flight tests are completed, mass production of the KF-21 will begin with a goal of 40 jets deployed by 2028 and 120 by 2032.
"When full-scale mass production begins, 100,000 additional jobs will be created and we'll have an added value of 5.9 trillion Korean won ($5.2 billion). The effect will be much greater if they're exported," Moon said.
South Korea is expected to produce six KF-21 prototypes for testing and development, the first three to be completed by the end of this year and the next three in the first half of 2022, according to the country's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA).

Exclusive club

While only 65% of the KF-21 is of South Korean origin, its rollout still marks a significant achievement for a country that doesn't have a lengthy history of aircraft production.
"When the final tests are completed in the future, South Korea will become the eighth country in the world that has developed an advanced supersonic fighter," a government statement said.
Those countries are the United States, Russia, China, Japan, France, Sweden and a European consortium of the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain.
Of those, only the United States and China have deployed domestic-made fifth-generation fighter jets -- planes which feature stealth technologies, radar-jamming capabilities and advanced avionics that integrate onboard and remote data to give pilots a complete real-time picture of their operation, according to NATO's Joint Air Power Competence Center.
While the DAPA calls the KF-21 a 4.5-generation fighter jet because it lacks, for instance, an internal weapons bay that increases stealthiness, analysts say it may be able to fly higher and faster than the newest US-made fifth-generation fighter, the F-35, and still carry a robust weapons load.
"The KF-21 is the first fighter aircraft made with domestic technology, and it indicates that South Korea is now able to build fighter aircraft by its own. It will also be a stepping stone to develop better fighter aircraft and operate locally developed arms," a DAPA statement to CNN said.
The KF-21 is a joint project between South Korea and Indonesia in which Seoul holds 80% of shares while Jakarta seeks 20%. South Korea says Indonesia is behind in payments to the project, but negotiations continue and Jakarta's defense minister was at Friday's rollout.Moon saluted Indonesia for its role. "In particular, I thank the Indonesian government for becoming a partner who believed in the potential of South Korea," he said.
The new fighter jet is expected to replace South Korea's F-4 and F-5 fighters, third-generation US-designed jets first introduced in the 1960s.
As production runs are increased, it could also replace South Korea's fourth-generation F-16s and F-15Ks, analyst Abraham Ait, chief editor of Military Watch Magazine, wrote in The Diplomat last year.
South Korea also operates F-35 stealth fighters, receiving the first in a 40-jet order in 2018.

Overseas sales


While the KF-21 might eventually replace hundreds of fighter jets in South Korea's fleet, it also has significant export potential because its price tag is expected to be significantly lower than the F-35s the US sells to foreign militaries.
Thailand, the Philippines, and possibly even Iraq "could be leading clients for the fighter," Ait wrote, noting those countries all operate the same kind of aircraft the KF-21 will replace in South Korea's fleet. They also have been customers for South Korea's indigenously developed FA-50 light-attack fighter.
If Seoul is successful in marketing the KF-21 as an export product, it will continue a trend for South Korea. According to statistics from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Seoul's arms exports were 210% higher from 2016 to 2020 than in the previous five years -- giving South Korea a 2.7% share of the world's global arms market.
Government spokesperson Lim Se-eun said Thursday South Korea plans to build its own surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, electronic warfare ability, enhance its air defenses, build stronger guided weapons, and secure an independent satellite navigation system and space war capability -- all with the goal of being in the top seven nations in the global aviation industry by 2030.

Le constructeur sud-coréen KAI a dévoilé le prototype de son avion de combat KF-21 « Boramae »

PAR LAURENT LAGNEAU · 9 AVRIL 2021


Korea Aerospace Industries KFX - Page 2 1484


Au début des années 1960, après avoir subi l’occupation japonaise et une guerre, la Corée du Sud passait pour être l’un des pays les plus pauvres du monde, avec un PIB [produit intérieur brut] par habitant de seulement 92 dollars. Un chiffre multiplié par 270 en cinquante ans, grâce au « miracle économique coréen ».

De nos jours, et après avoir connu une croissance économique moyenne de 3% dans les années 2010, la Corée du Sud est la 11ème économie mondiale et le 7ème exportateur mondial, grâce à un secteur industriel dynamique [et structuré autour de grands conglomérats, appelés chaebols] représentant environ 30% de son PIB. Et c’est l’un des rares pays [démocratiques, qui plus est] à avoir su gérer la pandémie de covid-19, cette dernière ayant un impact limité sur son économique [avec une contraction de -1% de son PIB en 2020].

Soutenue par un effort important en matière de recherche et développement [la Corée du Sud est le pays le plus « dépensier » dans ce domaine, avec des investissements représentant 4,6% de son PIB], l’industrie sud-coréenne s’est affirmée dans la construction navale, l’automobile, l’électronique grand public [avec LG et Samsung] et, plus récemment, les semi-conducteurs [qui ont généré 94 milliards de dollars à l’exportations en 2019].

En outre, la Base industrielle et technologique de défense [BITD] sud-coréenne ne cesse de s’étoffer, grâce aux transferts technologiques obtenus lors de contrats d’armements passés. Elle est désormais en mesure de concevoir des sous-marins [Hyundai Heavy Industries et Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering] et Séoul envisage même la construction de deux unités à propulsion nucléaire. Et pratiquement tous les navires de la marine sud-coréenne – qui disposera par ailleurs d’un porte-aéronefs d’ici la fin de cette décennie – ont été développés et produits localement.

Dans le domaine terrestre, l’industrie sud-coréenne sait produire des chars [comme le K2 Black Panther], des obusiers, des blindés [comme le K21] ou encore des systèmes de communications.

S’agissant de l’aéronautique, la Corée du Sud n’a pas encore la capacité de subvenir seule aux besoins de ses forces aériennes, lesquelles mettent en oeuvre des avions de combat de facture américaine [F-15, F-35, etc]. Mais cela devrait changer dans les années à venir.

Déjà, Korean Aerospace Industrie [KAI] commercialise le KA-50 « Golden Eagle », un avion d’entraînement pouvant se décliner en appareil léger d’attaque. Mais l’industriel sud-coréen planche sur le programme KF-X, dont le lancement a été décidé en 2002, afin de remplacer les F-4FD/E Phantom et F-5 Tiger II de la force aérienne sud-coréenne.

Or, ce 9 avril, à Sacheon, en présence du président sud-coréen Moon Jae-in, KAI a levé le voile sur le premier prototype de cet appareil qui, officiellement baptisé KF-21 « Boramae » doit être produit dans le cadre d’une coopération avec l’Indonésie.

À première vue, bien qu’il ressemble à s’y méprendre au F-35 de Lockheed-Martin [qui a d’ailleurs été sollicité pour ce programme, ndlr], le KF-21 sera un avion de génération 4,5. C’est à dire qu’il ne sera pas furtif puisque il est doté de dix points d’emport à la place d’une soute à munition.


Dans le détail, 16 universités, 11 laboratoires et plus de 500 sous-traitants participent à ce programme, dont le coût est évalué à près de 8 milliards de dollars. Environ 65% des composants du KF-21 sont d’origine sud-coréenne, dont le radar AESA, la suite de guerre électronique et les nacelles de reconnaissance et de ciblage. Quant à la motorisation, elle sera assurée par deux moteurs F414-400K qui seront produits par Hanwha Techwin, qui a obtenu une licence de la part du motoriste américain GE Aviation.

Lors de la présentation du KF-21, le président Moon a remercié l’Indonésie, qui participe à ce projet à hauteur de 20%. Du moins, c’est ce qui avait été prévu, dans la mesure où il était question de livrer 51 unités aux forces aériennes indonésiennes. Seulement, Jakarta a cessé les paiements promis lors de la phase de développement, aissant ainsi planer un doute sur ses intentions. Pour rappel l’Indonésie envisage actuellement de se procurer une trentaine de Rafale ainsi que des F-15 Eagle II [ex-F-15 EX, ndlr].

Quoi qu’il en soit, pour le président Moon, avec la présentation de ce prototype, la Corée du Sud a « ouvert une nouvelle ère » en matière d’autonomie et franchi « une étape historique » dans le domaine de l’aéronautique. « Nous prévoyons de déployer 40 avions d’ici 2028 et un total de 120 d’ici 2032″, a-t-il rappelé. En outre, a-t-il continué, ce programme permettra la création de 100.000 nouveaux emplois et pourrait générer 5.900 milliards de wons supplémentaires » [soit 4,4 milliards d’euros]. « Les effets [économiques] deviendront plus importants si l’avion s’exporte à l’étranger », a-t-il ajouté.

« Le déploiement du prototype est une étape majeure dans le processus de développement car cela signifie que nous entrons dans la phase de test des capacités du chasseur après avoir réellement construit ce que nous n’avions qu’en dessin », a souligné, de son côté, la DAPA, l’agence du ministère sud-coréen de la Défense chargée des équipements et des achats.

Le premier vol du KF-21 étant prévu en 2022, KAI devra aller vite pour livrer les 40 premiers exemplaires d’ici 2028. Mais, visiblement, le constructeur sud-coréen est confiant.

« Lorsqu’un directeur de programme de Lockheed Martin a examiné pour la première fois le calendrier du projet KF-X, le responsable a déclaré que le projet aurait besoin d’un miracle pour réussir », a confié Ryu Kwang-su, le vice-président de KAI, au quotidien Korea Herald. Et, rappelant que l’industriel américain a mis « près de 20 ans et au moins 59,2 milliards de dollars pour développer le F-35 », il n’a pas manqué de souligner que son groupe « a réussi à proposer un prototype en cinq ans avec un budget inférieur à un sixième. »
