ה KF-X בדרך להפוך ל "לביא הקוריאני"? צוות מחקר של משרד ההגנה המקומי מתנגד לתכנית
List Of KF-X Opponents Grows

KF-X development would cost more than 10 trillion won ($9.2 billion), one of the institute's researchers, Lee Juhyeong, has told a seminar on the program. Over the life of the program, the KF-X would cost the country more than twice as much as an imported aircraft, Lee says.
The agency has prepared two series of designs, one for an aircraft with its horizontal stabilizers aft, which it considers to be a U.S. style, and one for a “European” fighter with a canard stabilizer. The aft-tail series has run through the iterations C101, C102 and, now, C103, all with two engines and a single seat. The C102 design was further broken down into three variants: C102E with one engine, C102I with internal weapons and C102T with two seats. Those ideas have been discarded, however; the current aft-tail design is C103. Similarly the C201, C202 (with variants E, I and T) and the current C203 follow the same pattern, except for a canard planform.
Since work began in 2002, the KF-X has been stuck in feasibility studies, concept definition and preliminary design. The finance ministry last year put a stop to it entering full-scale development this year. Instead it allocated just 4.5 billion won for further studies.
