Peruvian KT-1P Flown

摘要

During a short ceremony on February 19 at Korea Aerospace Industries' facilities at Sacheon in South Korea, the XKT-1P trainer for the Fuerza Aerea del Peru (Peruvian Air Force) made its first flight. This is the prototype of the KT-1P, a variant of the advanced trainer developed for the Peruvian Air Force, incorporating improved avionics and a digital cockpit, along with the weapons delivery capability of the KA-1 light attack versions in service in Korea. Certification and weapons integration trials are expected to take until mid-year and deliveries will start before the end of 2014.
