With the induction of the KT-100, South Korea will have an indigenous lineup of fixed-wing aircraft to train its military pilots. Students will proceed to fly the KT-1 and T-50 after graduating from flying the KT-100.
The new aircraft will replace the Ilyushin T-103 and it comes with IFF system and video and audio recording devices for evaluating the student’s performance.
