KAI KT-1 Woongbi

The origins of the KT-1 can be found within the KTX programme, which had been launched during 1988 on behalf of the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF). The programme, which sought to develop an indigenously designed trainer aircraft, was a joint effort between aircraft manufacturer Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and government body Agency for Defence Development (ADD); the latter was responsible for overseeing the project, while the former performed the detailed design work as well as the majority of manufacturing activity.Doyle, Andrew. [https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/state-body-to-lead-south-korean-helicopter-effort-153315/ "State body to lead South Korean helicopter effort."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617172941/https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/state-body-to-lead-south-korean-helicopter-effort-153315/ |date=2019-06-17 }} Flight International, 13 August 2002.

A series of nine prototypes were constructed, the first being complete during June 1991. During 1995, the aircraft was officially named 'Woongbi'. In 1998, it was announced that the final test flight had been performed.

During 2002, KAI revealed that they were working on the production of an upgraded and armed version of the KT-1 basic trainer. This variant, designated KO-1, was intended to be used in the forward air control and counter-insurgency (COIN) roles. Development was conducted in cooperation with the Agency for Defence Development (ADD) and had been undertaken in response to an existing RKAF requirement for 20-40 aircraft.[https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/kai-arms-trainer-for-new-role-144065/ "KAI arms trainer for new role."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617172940/https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/kai-arms-trainer-for-new-role-144065/ |date=2019-06-17 }} Flight International, 5 March 2002. According to a KAI representative, the KO-1 is ideally suited for drug interdiction operations and that the company was pitching the variant towards countries in Latin America.Sobie, Brendan.

On 8 March 2006, a KAI spokesperson announced that the company intended to export more than 150 improved versions of the KT-1 to various countries across both Central America and Southeast Asia. During 2005, KAI had begun marketing the KT-1 as one element of an integrated training package, having paired it with their newer jet-powered KAI T-50 Golden Eagle trainer.[https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/italian-challenge-199980/ "Italian challenge."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617172934/https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/italian-challenge-199980/ |date=2019-06-17 }} Flight International, 28 June 2005. The company also stated that it believes a partnership with American aerospace company Lockheed Martin shall encourage confidence in its training platforms.{{Cite web |last=2005-10-11T00:00:00+01:00 |title=Golden moment |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/golden-moment/63096.article |access-date=2024-04-09 |website=Flight Global |language=en}}

The KT-1 can be equipped with either an analog or 'glass' cockpit configuration. Some variants feature additional avionics and systems, such as a night vision goggles (NVG)-compatible cockpit, head-up display (HUD), multi-function displays (MFD), GPS/inertial navigation system, mission computer, onboard oxygen generation system, a vapour-cycle environmental control system and hands-on-throttle-and-stick (HOTAS)-compatible controls.

For light attack missions, the aircraft can carry various types of guns, bombs, rockets and missiles dependent upon customer requirements. Other equipment can include external fuel tanks, a centrally mounted forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensor and a laser range finder.Doyle, Andrew.
