SACHEON, South Gyeongsang Province ― South Korea is set to roll out the first prototype of its indigenously developed next-generation fighter jet, widely known as the Korean Fighter eXperimental (KF-X) aircraft, late next month.

慶尚南道沙川報道——韓國將于下個月晚些時候推出其自主研發(fā)的下一代戰(zhàn)斗機的首架原型機，即眾所周知的韓國戰(zhàn)斗機實驗飛機(KF-X)。

A total of six prototypes are in the final stages of assembly at the Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) headquarters in Sacheon, Gyeongsang Province. Test flights will be carried out next year, following ground testing after the April roll-out.

位于慶尚道的韓國航空航天工業(yè)總部(KAI)，總共有6架原型機處于最后的組裝階段。在4月推出后，將進行地面測試，明年進行試飛。

Officials also expressed expectations that the KF-X fighter jets will compete in the global market with fifth-generation fighter jets such as the U.S. aerospace giant Lockheed Martin's F-35 and F-22, based on price and technology competitiveness. According to the KAI, the KF-X is designed as a 4.5-generation jet whose basic hardware and platform could be used for further development and conversion into a fifth-generation one with improved "stealth" technologies.

官員們還表示，基于價格和技術(shù)競爭力，KF-X戰(zhàn)斗機將與美國航空航天巨頭洛克希德·馬丁公司的F-35和F-22等第五代戰(zhàn)斗機在全球市場上展開競爭。據(jù)KAI介紹，KF-X被設(shè)計為4.5代噴氣機，其基本硬件和平臺可用于進一步開發(fā)，并轉(zhuǎn)換為具有改進版“隱形”技術(shù)的第五代噴氣機。

The KF-X project is an "evolutionary development" project which is divided into two phases. The first phase, or the Block I stage, is about developing the basic system of the fighter jet from 2016 to 2026. The second phase, or the Block II stage which would be carried out from 2026 to 2028, is about adding more weapon systems.

KF-X項目是一個“進化型開發(fā)”項目，分為兩個階段。第一階段，即Block I階段，是從2016年到2026年開發(fā)戰(zhàn)斗機的基本系統(tǒng)。第二階段，或稱Block II階段，將從2026年到2028年進行，在于增加更多的武器系統(tǒng)。

While the core equipment of the KF-X has been developed with domestic technologies, including active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, infrared search and track (IRST) equipment, electro-optical target tracking (EO TGP) devices and electronic warfare (EW) suite, the target ratio of localization is 65 percent, in terms of the total costs of the parts used for the jet.

雖然KF-X的核心設(shè)備是用國內(nèi)技術(shù)開發(fā)的，包括有源電子掃描陣列(AESA)雷達，紅外搜索和跟蹤(IRST)設(shè)備，光電目標(biāo)跟蹤(EO TGP)設(shè)備和電子戰(zhàn)(EW)套件，但本土化的目標(biāo)比例為65%，這是根據(jù)用于噴氣機的部件的總成本計算的。

This looks absolutely stunning

看起來非常驚艷。

Impressive pace and work. Credit where due.

令人印象深刻的節(jié)奏和工作。值得肯定。

Full FADEC I believe for the F414 engines. Great platform, a first in Asia (outside China) for a stealth design....

我相信它的F414引擎是全FADEC（全權(quán)數(shù)字式發(fā)動機控制）。很棒的平臺，是亞洲(中國以外)的第一款隱形設(shè)計……

Pakistan Space Agency
A beautiful piece of engineering.

一個漂亮的工程杰作。

Gripen9
Would this be considered a full blown 5th gen Stealth aircraft or more low observable 4.5+ gen?
Seems to be a great design but does not have internal weapons bay and ordnance is carried on external hardpoints. What kind of RAM coating does it use?

這是完全成熟的第五代隱形飛機，還是4.5代+的低可視隱形飛機?
似乎是一款偉大的設(shè)計，但沒有內(nèi)部武器艙，武器裝在外部掛載點上。它使用的是哪種RAM涂層?

pakpride00090
Nah.. Here we will destroy the people who are actually working for good by imposing absurd policies like quota system and discrimination based on ethnicity , cast , language or birdari..
South Korea is a homogenous country where they don't have such issues ... They are more evolved and not primitive like us.

做不到，在我們國家，我們將通過實施荒謬的政策，比如配額制度和基于種族、種姓、語言或伯達里語的歧視，摧毀那些真正在做好事的人。
而韓國是一個單一民族國家，他們沒有這樣的問題……他們進化的更好，不像我們這樣原始。

Tumba
This plane is stealth like without internal weapons bay....why didnt go all in stealth plane I wonder...

這架飛機看起來是隱形的，卻沒有內(nèi)部武器艙……為什么不搞全隱形飛機?

Beast
Less stealthy fighter is only useful against non stealthy aircraft. If against full stealth aircraft. You will be eaten for lunch.

不隱形的戰(zhàn)斗機只對不隱形的飛機有用。如果對抗全隱形飛機，就是小菜一碟。

Goritoes
Wonderful work by Koreans, very hard-working and determined and friendly as well, met a lot of them in my workplace, they are very nice, to say the least.

韓國人做得很好，非常努力，有決心，也很友好，在我的工作場所遇到過很多韓國人，至少可以說他們很不錯。

Falcon26
Does Indonesia own the intellectual property? Can it export without South Korean permission?

印尼擁有知識產(chǎn)權(quán)嗎?它能在沒有韓國許可的情況下出口嗎?

Tumba
doesnt look much stealthy from above config though ....but the 4 AAMs are pretty much attached to belly that might be better for stealthy profile good for Air to Air stealthy role but if south korea on thr first try can manufacture that pretty sure coming iterations will be easily matching west...?
south korea has very advanced industry so expected..

但是從上面看不太隱形……配置但是4枚防空導(dǎo)彈幾乎都安裝在腹部，這可能更有利于隱形性能，有利于空對空任務(wù)，但如果韓國第一次嘗試就能造出來，那么很肯定的是，接下來的迭代將很容易趕上西方……韓國有非常先進的工業(yè)，所以我很期待……

Enigma SIG
Why does every new stealth aircraft look like a rip-off of an F-22?

為什么每一種新的隱形飛機看起來都像F-22的仿制品?

nomi007
without internal weapon bay disappointed

沒有內(nèi)置武器艙，失望。

PosterityIsScrewed
89% of the radar? That's impressive. What's imported?

89%的雷達?真是令人印象深刻。進口了什么?

richalexand
They're the first line of defense, wish them the best.

他們處于國防產(chǎn)業(yè)的第一線，祝他們一切順利。

Frosh_4
Anyone else think the KF-X looks like a cross between the F-35 and F-22?
It's certainly useful to see SK building up a more prominent aerospace industry but what exactly are their goals here? Just to create a jobs program or replace foreign sales and simplify logistics?

還有人認為KF-X看起來像F-35和F-22的混合體嗎?
看到韓國建立一個更突出的航空航天產(chǎn)業(yè)，當(dāng)然很有用，但他們的目標(biāo)到底是什么?僅僅是創(chuàng)造一個就業(yè)計劃，或者取代國外銷售和簡化后勤?

TheBraveGallade
Mostly logistics.
Everytime a problem occurs in a american plane, we often have to wait months to fix it cause we don't have clearence.
Selling would be pretty dope tho. We've conqured the land and sea, the only thing left is air.

主要是后勤。
每次美制飛機出現(xiàn)問題，我們通常都要等上幾個月才能得到解決，因為我們沒有得到許可。
不過，軍售將會很酷。我們已經(jīng)征服了陸地和海洋，只剩下天空了。

catch-a-stream
Doesn’t stealth require geometry to be different? Can they actually add stealth to an existing frx?

隱形不是需要不同的幾何形狀嗎?他們能否在現(xiàn)有機體中添加隱形功能?

johnnyrhee11
Yup, especially if you think about what aircraft (F-4s and F-5s) these are meant to replace.

是的，尤其是當(dāng)我們想到它打算用來取代哪些飛機(F-4和F-5)時。

South Korea is secretly developing their own engine

韓國正在秘密開發(fā)他們自己的發(fā)動機。

More like a modernized super hornet imho

我覺得它更像是現(xiàn)代化的超級大黃蜂。

London-hound
They can if they are sourcing the components they can’t domestically produce. Especially if they’re getting the technology transfer through co development.

如果將國內(nèi)無法生產(chǎn)的零部件外包出去，他們就能做到。特別是如果他們通過合作開發(fā)獲得技術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)讓的話。

johnnyrhee11
Naturally. Lockheed Martin is one of the lead participants to this project, and sent 100+ Engineers to support KAI.
The goal is to replace the aging F-4 and F-5 (yes, the F-5s) fleet of 120+. Eventually the Block 2 will replace KF-16's.

自然。洛克希德·馬丁公司是這個項目的主要參與者之一，并派出了100多名工程師來支持KAI。
其目標(biāo)是取代120多架老化的F-4和F-5(是的，是F-5)機隊。最終，Block 2將取代KF-16。

Aizseeker
Is there a chance that LM may use this plane to sell in US and other countries?

LM是否有可能拿這種飛機在美國和其他國家銷售?

irishjihad
Even knowing S Korea's technology, and manufacturing prowess, I'm still impressed.

即使了解韓國的技術(shù)和制造能力，這件事仍然讓我印象深刻。

McFlyParadox
Honestly? I wouldn't mind if the US just bought some of these as a stop-gap to the F-35/F-22/F-16 storm that is brewing, and I'm sure Korea would love to get the defense off-set.
It won't happen, obviously, but I wouldn't mind if it did.

真的嗎？我不介意美國少量購買一些，作為對正在醞釀的F-35/F-22/F-16風(fēng)暴的權(quán)宜之計，我相信韓國會很高興得到這種能夠抵消國防采購的裝備。
這顯然不會發(fā)生，但真的發(fā)生了，我也不介意。

beagle_bathouse
American arms manufactures would lose their mind, could you even imagine?

美國武器制造商會瘋掉的，你能想象嗎?

Thoth_the_5th_of_Tho
It was developed in partnership with Lockheed and you could have an American company manufacture them domestically under a different designation.

它是與洛克希德公司合作開發(fā)的，美國可以讓一家美國公司在其國內(nèi)以別的名義進行制造。

McFlyParadox
Manufactured there? Absolutely. Licensed to be built in the US (like how we license Ship hull designs to ROK)? Maybe. Still would be a fight though.

在那里制造？絕對是的。許可在美國制造（就像我們許可在韓國制造船體一樣）？也許吧。但依然會有爭吵。

Aizseeker
Considering that LM is involved in this, it may get a pass and build in US.

考慮到洛馬參與其中，它可能會得到一個許可，并在美國國內(nèi)制造。

ChuckFreak
Politically infeasible for the US side. There will be howls of protests if that was to happen.
However, South Korea probably has a fair shot at bidding for the US military's replacement of the old Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, with ROK's new AS21 "Redback" which is currently leading the bid for Australia's armored vehicle replacement program.
https://www.army-technology.com/projects/as21-redback-infantry-fighting-vehicle/

對美國來說，這在政治上是不可行的。如果真的發(fā)生了，抗議的喧囂將沸反盈天。
然而，在競標(biāo)美軍替換舊的布拉德利步兵車的采購案上，韓國可能得到一個公平的機會，韓國的新AS21“Redback”目前是澳大利亞裝甲車輛替換計劃的主要競標(biāo)者。

McFlyParadox
Lockheed Martin has been making the 'it will be cheaper' promise since before day 1 of the F-35 program, and it has yet to be true. The DOD is losing patience, and has hinted at scrapping the whole thing in favor of new fighter program that has more in common with the F-16 than it does with the F-35.

從F-35項目開始的第一天起，洛克希德·馬丁公司就一直承諾“它會更便宜”，但這一承諾尚未實現(xiàn)。美國國防部正在失去耐心，并暗示要放棄整個計劃，轉(zhuǎn)而支持更加接近F-16（而非F-35）的新戰(zhàn)斗機項目。

eyezaac
No one is suggesting "scrapping" the F35 program? If you think they are please provide a source, I would like to know

沒有人建議“廢除”F35項目吧?如果你認為有，請?zhí)峁┮粋€來源，我想知道。

Cippledtimmy
If this succeeds it will be a good news for NATO countries that cannot afford the latest Gen 5 fighter like the F-35

如果這一計劃成功，對那些買不起F-35等最新5代戰(zhàn)斗機的北約國家來說，將是一個好消息。

sdfdfdsfd43543543
Is this thing any cheaper than an F-35?

這東西比F-35便宜嗎?

LeVin1986
It better be. It exists purely because operating 200+ F-35 was not feasible for South Korea.

最好比F-35便宜。它的存在純粹是因為在韓國運行200多架F-35戰(zhàn)機不可行。

PosterityIsScrewed
It doesn't have to be.
Life cycle cost is 70% of total cost. You can pay more for domestic products and still have major savings over the lifetime of the jet.

其實并不一定是這樣。
生命周期成本占總成本的70%。你可以在國產(chǎn)裝備上花更多的錢，但在飛機的整個使用壽命期間仍能節(jié)省很多錢。

Mythrilfan
In theory it would be worth it for ROK even if it wasn't because a sizeable bunch of its cost would stay inside its economy.

理論上，這對韓國來說是值得的，即使不值得，也有相當(dāng)大一部分成本將留在韓國經(jīng)濟內(nèi)部。

sdfdfdsfd43543543
Yes but they're talking about foreign buys for NATO countries.

是的，但是他們說的是北約國家的外部采購。

shadow_moose
Presumably as production numbers increase and the plane is developed further, costs will drop. The question is, will they drop enough to make it an attractive option for foreign customers?

據(jù)推測，隨著產(chǎn)量的增加和這種飛機的進一步開發(fā)，其成本將會下降。問題是，它們的價格是否會下降到足以讓它成為對外國客戶有吸引力的選擇?

Aizseeker
The question is it cheap enough replace F-16 and older gen compared to F-35.

問題是，與F-35相比，它是否足夠便宜，以取代F-16和更早的飛機？
