KAI T-50/FA-50

The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) becomes the second export customer for the FA-50 Block 20 light combat aircraft.

The survey proposes to save the Navy billions of dollars that would be otherwise spent on qualifying a trainer jet to land aboard an aircraft carrier.

To help Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) position itself to better compete for future jet trainer contracts in North America, the South Korean manufacturer has signed a teaming agreement with Lockheed Martin to market the T-50 worldwide.

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) confirmed that it has secured a deal with return customer the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) for two T-50TH lead-in fighter trainers.

Air Combat Command has dropped a plan to award a sole-source contract to Hillwood Aviation to supply Korea Aerospace Industries/Lockheed Martin T-50s for a five-year demonstration program, opting for a competition instead.
