Hanwha Aerospace showcased future aerospace technology at the Sacheon Air Show.

On the 22nd, Hanwha Aerospace introduced its accumulated advanced technological capabilities alongside domestic space and aviation companies at the "2026 Sacheon Air Show," which opened at the Sacheon Airfield in Sacheon City, South Gyeongsang Province, and presented a future vision for the co-growth of the domestic industrial ecosystem.

This year's Sacheon Air Show, running through the 25th, combines the traditional aviation festival with the Global Aerospace & Defense Exhibition (GADEX), featuring participation from 130 domestic and international companies and institutional investors who will showcase cutting-edge technologies and products.

At this exhibition, Hanwha Aerospace demonstrated various aerospace industry capabilities aimed at responding to future battlefield environments, including an "advanced aviation engine" under development with the goal of being mounted on next-generation fighter jets such as the KF-21, a "5,500-pound turbofan engine" for unmanned aerial vehicles developed using domestic proprietary technology, the short takeoff and landing (STOL) drone "Mojave STOL," and canister-type (launch tube-type) interceptor drones.

In the space sector, it is showcasing the Korean Space Launch Vehicle "Nuri," which successfully completed its fifth launch on the 7th. As a private system integrator, Hanwha Aerospace has participated in the manufacturing and launch operations of Nuri alongside the Korea Aerospace Research Institute and approximately 300 participating companies.

The space and aviation industry is one where technological capabilities across various fields, ranging from materials and components to equipment, converge, with strengthening the capabilities of the entire ecosystem cited as a key competitive advantage.

A Hanwha Aerospace official, speaking by phone with this outlet, said, "We are aiming to create a virtuous cycle of co-growth in which we develop advanced technologies through symbiotic cooperation with our partners and, based on this, expand our entry into the global market."
