Airbus join hands with Boeing to fight for South Korea’s KF-X contract

In an unusual move, Airbus and Boeing are joining hands to participate in South Korea’s KF-X indigenous fighter program.

Working with Korean Airlines as the local partner, the trio are said to be proposing the Super Hornet for the KF-X.

Airbus’ role is likely to provide stealth know-how as Boeing is restricted by U.S. regulations from doing so, Aviation Week reports.
