KFX-201
South Korea's New 5th Generation Stealth Fighter Concept

Now the South Koreans are planning to make a "5th generation fighter" that strongly resembles the F-22A (in a way), YF-23 and the proposed J-XX design.
Korean stealth fighter project. (KF-X, which is 12,000,000,000 dollar project to develop stealth fighter by 2017 and begin to produce by 2022.) Now this project comes out to surface.
KAI (Korea Aerospace Industries) is trying to push NSC (National Security Council) to replace KFX to F-50 (which is fighter-version of T/A-50) but ROKAF will indefatigable to continue KFX project. This is really interesting story to discuss about.
There was news (Sep, 2005) from Korean media that ADD is in the progress to design model and working on concepts and shapes. These two (101, 201) models only announced to media.
And here is the picture and video clips from ADD(Agency for Defense Development, which is South Korean military research institute) website.
These are video clips of wind-tunnel test and a picture that have published on ADD webpage. There I have found two model of KFX and these are named 101 and 201. KFX-101 model looks like an F-22 mixed with F-35. And KFX-201 looks like a stealth version Rafale, which has canard and delta wing.

p/s: Japanese are on progress of developing ATD-X (might be the Japanese X-plane project of F-3 stealth fighter), and there is "well known" rumor about Chinese J-XX (or J-14) project. And here comes KFX, and it's going to be interesting competition to watch.
