According to Yonhap news agency, Hanwha Techwin, a South Korea's defense manufacturer, said Monday that it has signed a parts supply deal worth $204 million with Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd. (KAI), the country's sole aircraft manufacturer. The deal is designed to localize parts of the engine for Korea's next-generation fighter jets, Hanwha Techwin said in a regulatory filing. On May 26, South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) selected GE Aviation as the preferred bidder to supply F414 engines for its next-generation indigenous fighter, known as the KF-X. KAI said Hanwha Techwin is set to import GE engines and localize some of them, and assemble the engines before delivering them to the South Korean government for the project.
