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.
庆尚南道沙川报道——韩国将于下个月晚些时候推出其自主研发的下一代战斗机的首架原型机，即众所周知的韩国战斗机实验飞机(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.
位于庆尚道的韩国航空航天工业总部(KAI)，总共有6架原型机处于最后的组装阶段。在4月推出后，将进行地面测试，明年进行试飞。
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.
官员们还表示，基于价格和技术竞争力，KF-X战斗机将与美国航空航天巨头洛克希德·马丁公司的F-35和F-22等第五代战斗机在全球市场上展开竞争。据KAI介绍，KF-X被设计为4.5代喷气机，其基本硬件和平台可用于进一步开发，并转换为具有改进版“隐形”技术的第五代喷气机。
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项目是一个“进化型开发”项目，分为两个阶段。第一阶段，即Block I阶段，是从2016年到2026年开发战斗机的基本系统。第二阶段，或称Block II阶段，将从2026年到2028年进行，在于增加更多的武器系统。
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.
虽然KF-X的核心设备是用国内技术开发的，包括有源电子扫描阵列(AESA)雷达，红外搜索和跟踪(IRST)设备，光电目标跟踪(EO TGP)设备和电子战(EW)套件，但本土化的目标比例为65%，这是根据用于喷气机的部件的总成本计算的。

This looks absolutely stunning
看起来非常惊艳。

Impressive pace and work. Credit where due.
令人印象深刻的节奏和工作。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（全权数字式发动机控制）。很棒的平台，是亚洲(中国以外)的第一款隐形设计……

A beautiful piece of engineering.
一个漂亮的工程杰作。

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?
这是完全成熟的第五代隐形飞机，还是4.5代+的低可视隐形飞机?
似乎是一款伟大的设计，但没有内部武器舱，武器装在外部挂载点上。它使用的是哪种RAM涂层?

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，在我们国家，我们将通过实施荒谬的政策，比如配额制度和基于种族、种姓、语言或伯达里语的歧视，摧毁那些真正在做好事的人。
而韩国是一个单一民族国家，他们没有这样的问题……他们进化的更好，不像我们这样原始。

This plane is stealth like without internal weapons bay....why didnt go all in stealth plane I wonder...
这架飞机看起来是隐形的，却没有内部武器舱……为什么不搞全隐形飞机?
Beast
Less stealthy fighter is only useful against non stealthy aircraft. If against full stealth aircraft. You will be eaten for lunch.
不隐形的战斗机只对不隐形的飞机有用。如果对抗全隐形飞机，就是小菜一碟。

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.
韩国人做得很好，非常努力，有决心，也很友好，在我的工作场所遇到过很多韩国人，至少可以说他们很不错。

Does Indonesia own the intellectual property? Can it export without South Korean permission?
印尼拥有知识产权吗?它能在没有韩国许可的情况下出口吗?
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..
但是从上面看不太隐形……配置但是4枚防空导弹几乎都安装在腹部，这可能更有利于隐形性能，有利于空对空任务，但如果韩国第一次尝试就能造出来，那么很肯定的是，接下来的迭代将很容易赶上西方……韩国有非常先进的工业，所以我很期待……

Why does every new stealth aircraft look like a rip-off of an F-22?
为什么每一种新的隐形飞机看起来都像F-22的仿制品?
nomi007
without internal weapon bay disappointed
没有内置武器舱，失望。
PosterityIsScrewed
89% of the radar? That's impressive. What's imported?
89%的雷达?真是令人印象深刻。进口了什么?
richalexand
They're the first line of defense, wish them the best.
他们处于国防产业的第一线，祝他们一切顺利。
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?
还有人认为KF-X看起来像F-35和F-22的混合体吗?
看到韩国建立一个更突出的航空航天产业，当然很有用，但他们的目标到底是什么?仅仅是创造一个就业计划，或者取代国外销售和简化后勤?
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。
每次美制飞机出现问题，我们通常都要等上几个月才能得到解决，因为我们没有得到许可。
不过，军售将会很酷。我们已经征服了陆地和海洋，只剩下天空了。

Doesn’t stealth require geometry to be different? Can they actually add stealth to an existing frx?
隐形不是需要不同的几何形状吗?他们能否在现有机体中添加隐形功能?
johnnyrhee11
Yup, especially if you think about what aircraft (F-4s and F-5s) these are meant to replace.
是的，尤其是当我们想到它打算用来取代哪些飞机(F-4和F-5)时。

South Korea is secretly developing their own engine
韩国正在秘密开发他们自己的发动机。

More like a modernized super hornet imho
我觉得它更像是现代化的超级大黄蜂。

They can if they are sourcing the components they can’t domestically produce. Especially if they’re getting the technology transfer through co development.
如果将国内无法生产的零部件外包出去，他们就能做到。特别是如果他们通过合作开发获得技术转让的话。
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·马丁公司是这个项目的主要参与者之一，并派出了100多名工程师来支持KAI。
其目标是取代120多架老化的F-4和F-5(是的，是F-5)机队。最终，Block 2将取代KF-16。

Is there a chance that LM may use this plane to sell in US and other countries?
LM是否有可能拿这种飞机在美国和其他国家销售?
irishjihad
Even knowing S Korea's technology, and manufacturing prowess, I'm still impressed.
即使了解韩国的技术和制造能力，这件事仍然让我印象深刻。
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.
真的吗？我不介意美国少量购买一些，作为对正在酝酿的F-35/F-22/F-16风暴的权宜之计，我相信韩国会很高兴得到这种能够抵消国防采购的装备。
这显然不会发生，但真的发生了，我也不介意。
beagle_bathouse
American arms manufactures would lose their mind, could you even imagine?
美国武器制造商会疯掉的，你能想象吗?
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.
它是与洛克希德公司合作开发的，美国可以让一家美国公司在其国内以别的名义进行制造。
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？绝对是的。许可在美国制造（就像我们许可在韩国制造船体一样）？也许吧。但依然会有争吵。
Aizseeker
Considering that LM is involved in this, it may get a pass and build in US.
考虑到洛马参与其中，它可能会得到一个许可，并在美国国内制造。
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/
对美国来说，这在政治上是不可行的。如果真的发生了，抗议的喧嚣将沸反盈天。
然而，在竞标美军替换旧的布拉德利步兵车的采购案上，韩国可能得到一个公平的机会，韩国的新AS21“Redback”目前是澳大利亚装甲车辆替换计划的主要竞标者。
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.
从F-35项目开始的第一天起，洛克希德·马丁公司就一直承诺“它会更便宜”，但这一承诺尚未实现。美国国防部正在失去耐心，并暗示要放弃整个计划，转而支持更加接近F-16（而非F-35）的新战斗机项目。
eyezaac
No one is suggesting "scrapping" the F35 program? If you think they are please provide a source, I would like to know
没有人建议“废除”F35项目吧?如果你认为有，请提供一个来源，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
如果这一计划成功，对那些买不起F-35等最新5代战斗机的北约国家来说，将是一个好消息。
sdfdfdsfd43543543
Is this thing any cheaper than an F-35?
这东西比F-35便宜吗?
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。它的存在纯粹是因为在韩国运行200多架F-35战机不可行。
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.
其实并不一定是这样。
生命周期成本占总成本的70%。你可以在国产装备上花更多的钱，但在飞机的整个使用寿命期间仍能节省很多钱。
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.
理论上，这对韩国来说是值得的，即使不值得，也有相当大一部分成本将留在韩国经济内部。
sdfdfdsfd43543543
Yes but they're talking about foreign buys for NATO countries.
是的，但是他们说的是北约国家的外部采购。
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?
据推测，随着产量的增加和这种飞机的进一步开发，其成本将会下降。问题是，它们的价格是否会下降到足以让它成为对外国客户有吸引力的选择?
Aizseeker
The question is it cheap enough replace F-16 and older gen compared to F-35.
问题是，与F-35相比，它是否足够便宜，以取代F-16和更早的飞机？
