KF-X项目步入正轨，但人们越来越担心印尼的参与
印度尼西亚航空航天公司PT Dirgantara Indonesia（PTDI）的技术人员
简斯获悉，该公司将很快与韩国航空航天工业公司（KAI）的同行重新会面，共同致力于开发韩国战斗机（KF-X）多用途战斗机。
PTDI技术员参与KF-X项目
–在印度尼西亚被称为KF-X / IF-X –
3月，Covid-19疫情在东北亚国家达到顶峰时，从韩国返回印尼。
业内消息人士向简尼斯证实，这些技术人员现在“正在准备重新部署”。
Janes understands
that at the end of 2019 the total number of PTDI technicians on the KF-X project in South Korea was about 100, with their work mainly focused on aircraft design and manufacturing processes.
Their redeployment will be framed against requirements for social distancing and other Covid-19-related guidelines.
The move to re-engage PTDI technicians on the project
comes against a background of progress on the development of KF-X prototypes but also continuing delays in efforts to reach a compromise on the scope of Indonesian financial participation in the programme.
Another factor that could have an impact on Indonesia’s involvement are some concerns in Jakarta about the strategic value of its involvement.
KAI
has confirmed that assembly of the first KF-X prototype is scheduled to be finalised in the second half of 2020, with a view to rolling out the aircraft in April 2021.
The schedules confirm that the KF-X programme has not been affected by Covid-19 and is on track to start mass production in the mid-2020s.
KF-X的第一架原型机：瞄准2022年上半年的首次飞行
KF-X的第一个原型：
KF-X于2016年1月开始，并于去年6月完成了基本设计。
硬件和软件的详细设计已完成，并且零件生产正在进行中。
首架原型机的目标是在2022年上半年首飞，研发计划于2026年完成。
韩国报纸，《世界日报》：
实际上，将附在KF-X上的空对空和空对地武器与飞机整合的问题很困难。
隐身功能也可能会低于韩国航空航天工业（KAI）和国防部的期望。
