Zitat:KAI Unveils KF-21N Carrier-Borne Aircraft At DX Korea 2022 Expohttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...2022-expo/
Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) unveiled a scale model of the KF-21N during DX Korea 2022. It is the carrier-borne version of the company's indigenous 4.5-generation fighter jet known as KF-21 / KFX project and is intended for the CVX aircraft carrier program. [...]
According to the information panel on display at the show, KF-21N has a length of 17.1 meters, a height of 5.2 meters, and a width of 12.3 meters. It can fly at the maximum speed of Mach 1.6 with a payload of 7620 kg. MTOW (Maximum takeoff weight) is around 25600 kg. Another key feature of the KF-21N is that the size is much larger than Lockheed Martin’s F-35B and the ground-based KF-21. The carrier-borne fighter jet adopted arresting hooks under its body and the wing-folding system that allows easier and more efficient accommodation in the limited space of CVX on its deck or hangar. KAI informed Naval News that the wings of the KF-21N are bigger than that of the original KF-21. [...] KAI told Naval News that the numerical specifications described on the information panel are based on a CATOBAR version of the aircraft.
