Participating in the Farnborough Air Show, one of the world’s top three air shows
Hanwha Aero and System Integration Exhibition Hall Operation
Reader aircraft engine prototype unveiled
Presentation of a business model for Nuriho space transportation service
Proposing a comprehensive space solution for ‘launch vehicle-observation satellite-communication’
Hanwha will show off Korea’s aerospace technology by participating in the Farnborough Air Show, one of the world’s top three air shows. It will showcase cutting-edge aero engines that it is developing independently, the Korean launch vehicle Nuriho, an active electronically scanned array radar (AESA radar), and a small synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite. The plan is to accelerate its advance into the global market by showcasing its capabilities in the space sector beyond aviation.
Hanwha announced on the 22nd that it will participate in the ‘Farnborough Air Show 2024’ held at Farnborough Airport near London, England until the 26th (local time) and operate an integrated exhibition hall.
Hanwha Aerospace and Hanwha Systems have set up an exhibition hall measuring approximately 60 pyeong. It consists of the Air Zone, which demonstrates the integrated capabilities of the group’s aviation businesses, and the Space Zone, which presents comprehensive space solutions such as launch vehicles, observation satellites, and satellite communication services.
Like the domestically developed and exported successful ‘AESA radar’… “Promoting independent development of advanced aircraft engines”
At the Air Zone, Hanwha Aerospace unveiled for the first time a prototype of its “advanced aircraft engine” that it is independently developing with the government. The advanced aircraft engine is an engine currently under development with the goal of being installed on domestic fighter jets such as the KF-21 and unmanned fighter jets. It is targeting a thrust of over 15,000 pounds (lbf). For reference, the thrust of the US Air Force’s F-22 Raptor is known to be 35,000 pounds (lbf). Hanwha Systems also exhibited its AESA radar, which it successfully developed independently and has even achieved export performance. Hanwha Systems’ AESA radar signed an export contract with global defense company Leonardo in May. The plan is to attack the global market by presenting various AESA radars suited to the characteristics of each aircraft, such as light attack aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and small aircraft. In addition, it introduces Hanwha’s integrated aviation business capabilities that it has accumulated over 40 years, including cutting-edge avionics equipment to enhance aircraft survivability, and key eco-friendly aircraft components such as energy storage systems (ESS), hydrogen fuel cells, and electric actuators (EMA).
Combining satellites and weapons systems to respond to battlefield situations in real time… Debut of ‘Nuriho Space Transport Service’
In the Space Zone, Hanwha Systems will showcase its domestically produced small SAR satellite solution. It will present a ‘hyper-connected defense solution’ that observes battlefield situations and shares battlefield information in real time using the Eutelsat OneWeb satellite invested in 2021. In particular, it will demonstrate its excellent satellite observation capabilities by revealing clear images of places around the world, including Mokpo Port in Korea, Central Park in the U.S., Yankee Stadium, Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, and the Gulf of Aden in Africa, captured by SAR satellites at the exhibition hall.
The Korean launch vehicle Nuriho, for which Hanwha Aerospace is in charge of system integration, is exhibiting a model. It is seeking to recruit satellite customers by emphasizing that its performance verification has been completed through successive launches in 2022 and 2023. It is planning to expand its business area to include domestic private satellites as well as overseas satellite launch services.
A Hanwha Group official said, “As a representative aerospace company of the Republic of Korea, we will actively promote our country’s technological prowess on the world stage and expand opportunities for global business cooperation.”
