South Korean Aerospace firm Hanwha Aerospace will showcase the prototype of a homegrown 15,000lb.-thrust-class turbofan engine on par with GE’s F414 at the Show.
This is the first unveiling of the Korean aviation engine concept, with the engine expected to power South Korea’s KF-21 jet fighters in a future tranche and uncrewed combat aircraft as well. Hanwha Aerospace is the only manufacturer of aero gas turbine engines in South Korea, achieving a major milestone of producing over 10,000 engines in April 2024.
“Leveraging our decades of accumulated experience and exceptional expertise in aircraft engine manufacturing, we’re fully committed to developing an aero turbofan engine of our own technology,” said Executive Vice President Kim Won-wook, Head of Advanced Aero Engine Business Unit. “With the successful development of KF-21 fighter jets, and growing defense industry capabilities in Korea, we are confident in the success of our endeavor.”
Hanwha Systems will provide a series of innovative avionics systems technologies, including active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars for different types of combat aircraft.
“This is a key strength of Hanwha,” said Park Hyuk, Head of Surveillance & Reconnaissance Business Division at Hanwha Systems. “From engines to radars and sensors, Hanwha has a full capability to supply core components and technologies for making sophisticated fighter jets.”
Hanwha’s homegrown KSLV-II space launch vehicle will be displayed in a mock-up, along with SpaceEye-T, the world’s highest resolution commercial earth observation satellite.
Also known as Nuri, the KSLV-II is a three-stage launch vehicle with a payload capacity of a 1.5-ton to Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO). As the systems integrator, Hanwha Aerospace will take charge of KSLV-II’s future launch missions through 2027.
Built by Satrec-I, a subsidiary of Hanwha Aerospace, SpaceEye-T is capable of identifying the type of vehicle on the road from space, using its super resolution 0.3m imagery capabilities. In addition, Hanwha Systems will showcase its small synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite, which has been in orbit since December 2023.
“With our capabilities in all areas required, Hanwha aims to become a total solution provider offering a complete value chain of services from launch services to satellites, and space exploration,” said Executive Vice President Lee Jun-won of Space Business Group at Hanwha Aerospace.
