GE航空向韩国交付首台KF-X发动机
通用电气（GE）航空
已向韩国交付了该国KF-X本土未来战斗机开发的第一台发动机。
这家美国动力设备制造商于6月4日宣布了这一里程碑，并指出首台F414-GE-400K发动机已于5月交付。
韩国航空航天工业（KAI）
于2016年5月选择GE航空作为KF-X项目的合作伙伴，到2021年将交付15架F414-GE-400K发动机，为6架试验飞机（加上3架备用飞机）提供动力。
大韩民国空军（RoKAF）将接收120架KF-X飞机，GE航空将为其提供240架F414-GE-400K发动机以及备用零件。
The KF-X fighter concept
was first revealed by South Korea’s Defence Acquisition Programme Administration (DAPA) in 2010.
Indonesia
joined the project in 2012, with a memorandum of understanding (MOU) covering joint development of the platform that Jakarta refers to as IF-X.
As budgets have waxed and waned, the project has fluctuated from being a full-up ‘fifth-generation’ fighter into a less sophisticated ‘4.5-generation’ fighter, and back again.
In its latest guise,
KF-X will be twin-engined,
low observable (LO),
multirole combat aircraft
equipped with an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and internal weapons carriage.
