March 8, 2024: Single-seat FA-50 a “Go” as KAI funds its Development

Looks like the single-seat Version of the FA-50 Fighting Eagle  is really happening, this after the Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) recently announced that they will be investing around Usd 27 million to develop it. 

No Timeline has been mentioned on when the Prototype and Mass Production will happen, but I expect this to be within the next couple Years. KAI said before that the said Aircraft will likely be slightly cheaper since no other Equipment for another Pilot like Ejection Seat, Instrument Panel, etc. will be required on the Aircraft
