KAI to develop future aerial mobility, single-seat aircraft
KAI is reconsidering a single-seat version of the FA-50 Fighting Eagle with increasing potential for export sales as a cheaper alternative to the F-16 Viper, JAS-39 Gripen E and even its own KF-21 Boramae. KAI expects it to be cheaper and have greater range than the current two-seat model.
More on the evolution of the FA-50, which may include AutoGCAS, a cockpit LAD display, and DART fuel tanks, as well as previously discussed Block 20 upgrades including AESA radar, BVRAAM, more ammunition options, aerial refueling, and avionics Best and so on.
They have projects for a missile superior to the Meteor and a short-range missile with the same capabilities as the AIM-9 x helmet guided..
