세계 3대 엔진사가 다 맡기는데, 한국 엔진은 45년째 없었다.

#AircraftEngine #Localization #HanwhaAerospace The world's top three aircraft engine companies—GE, Rolls-Royce, and Pratt & Whitney—entrust all core components to Korea. It is a country that ranks first in the world for components but has produced zero finished engines for 45 years; this contradiction was finally broken in 2026 with the production of a domestically manufactured aircraft engine. However, this is not something to applaud simply by looking at the headline "World's 6th Success in Localization." What was released this time is a 5,500-pound class engine (KTF5500) for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), while the engine for the KF-21 manned fighter is a separate project with a target date of 2040. Furthermore, the localization rate for the KF-21 engine is not the publicly known 40% but actually around 20%, meaning that over 300 billion won out of the 460 billion won engine cost flows back to GE in the United States. In the same year of 2026, while the UAV engine was a success, 47 out of 57 license-produced Mirion helicopter engines had corroded. We will examine in detail, using numbers, why this engine independence is not merely a matter of pride, but rather a matter of Hanwha Aerospace's business value and the export sovereignty of the Korean defense industry. In this video: The true significance of the 24 trillion won order backlog and the RSP contracts where the world's top three engine companies entrust parts to Korea (P&W $1.7 billion, Rolls-Royce $1 billion, GE $300 million) The reason turbine blades do not melt in the "hell" of exceeding their melting point (1,900 degrees); the incident where even the world's No. 1 GE recalled 3,000 units worth 8 trillion won due to a single speck of dust The true nature of the "6th success in the world" headline — KTF5500 for UAVs vs. KTF1600 for manned fighter jets (2040) are distinct projects Actual localization rate of the KF-21 is 20% (contract target 17%); out of the 460 billion won engine cost, 310–350 billion won goes to the US By 2026, 47 out of 57 Mir-on helicopter engines are corroded and 15 are grounded, costing 5.75 trillion won The Shadow of the Business Hanwha Aerospace: Business Value, Export Sovereignty, and Key Points to Watch Until 2040 — How to View It Through Airworthiness Certification Stages We break it all down in detail with numbers. 📌 Chapters 00:00 Intro — No. 1 in Parts, but 0 in Finished Products 00:40 Why the World's Top Three Engine Manufacturers Entrust Only to Korea 03:03 Why Engines Are So Difficult — The Hell of Exceeding One's Melting Point 07:46 The True Identity of the "6th Success" Headline 11:46 The Cold Reality of a 20% Localization Rate 15:05 Light and Shadow — UAV Success vs. Corrosion of 47 Mirion Units 18:52 So, the Conclusion — Business Value, Export Sovereignty, and Key Points to Watch 🔔 Subscribe to the channel / Like to be the first to receive the next episode. 20% Localization Rate, Materials at Half the Level of Developed Countries, Manned Aircraft Engines by 2040. The story of this engine should not be consumed with a single word like "success!", but rather viewed through the true framework of export sovereignty. There is only one signal: the airworthiness certification stage. #KF21 #UAVEngine #DefenseIndustry #LocalizationRate
