	MILAVIA Aircraft - AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-Kuo
		Taiwan's AIDC has developed an upgraded variant, designated F-CK-1C/D. The first F-CK-1C single-seat prototype was flown in October 2006, followed by the first F-CK-1D two-seater prototype in early 2007.
		Both aircraft were demonstrated at a ceremony at the AIDC facility at Taichung on March 27, 2007.
		AIDC hopes to upgrade half of the existing fleet, and also produce new aircraft for the RoCAF.

		The TFE1042 is an afterburning derivative of the TFE731 turbofan, which is used on a variety of business jets and jet trainers, and it is believed that this engine was partly selected on the basis that its procurement wouldn't raise a "red flag" to the mainland Chinese.
		The Ching Kuo has tricycle landing gear of clearly lighter construction than that of the F-16, as the Taiwanese fighter is not meant to operate from rough airstrips and is not intended to carry as heavy an offensive warload.
		The Ching Kuo is armed with a single General Electric M61A1 cannon, mounted just as on the F-16 in the left wing root, with 515 rounds of ammunition.

	AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		AIDC officially began the IDF development project in 1982 following the ROCAF's failure to purchase new fighters from the United States as a result of PRC diplomatic pressure.
		AIDC also suggested upgrading TFE-1042-7 to 8000 lb thrust as twin engine solution, in order to compete with GE However, JAS39 project decided to continue with single engine F404, and Piaggio asked to participate at a later date due to financial reasons.
		According to media, the AIDC IDF trainer concept apparently involved the removal of fire control radar and combat systems with the retention of flight control, so that the IDF could be used as a lead-in fighter trainer (LIFT).

	AIDC F-CK-1 Ching Kuo
		The same restrictions were not placed on technical assistance, however, and US aerospace companies have collaborated closely with AIDC to develop an indigenous fighter and weapons system.
		Of mostly conventional all-metal construction, the Ching Kuo is of conventional configuration, albeit with wing/fuselage blending.
		AIDC seeks government approval to offer a downgraded version of the two-seater Ching Kuo for export as a lead-in/advanced fighter trainer.

		However after the IDF order was cut in half from 250 to 130 in 1992, the TFE-1088-12 engine upgrade plan ended as well.
		Since then, there are many rumors of AIDC completing engine upgrade research in private, but no direct public announcement of IDF fleet engine upgrade was ever made officially by either ROCAF or AIDC.

		The first prototype 10001, commonly referred to as A-1 within AIDC by its construction number, was rolled out on December 10, 1988, in a ceremony at AIDC presided over by then President Lee Teng-Hui, and the aircraft was formally named "Ching Kuo", in memory of the late President Chiang Ching-Kuo.
		To prepare for the first flight, AIDC conducted the First Flight Readiness Review (FFRR) from January 9 to 19, 1989, during which 123 items for improvement or for further clarification were identified, most of which were attributed to the Digital Flight Control System (DFCS).
		The manufactuer AIDC retained all three remaining prototypes, 10001, 10003, and 10004 for further development purposes.

		But there are those who believe that the reputation was undeserved and that the Ching Kuo is really comparable to the likes of the Gripen.
		Allowing for the fact that this was a first attempt at a technically sophisticated platform, comparisons are sought with proposed armed variants of KAI T-50, MBB-339, Aero L-159, Mig AT and Yak-130.
		The first Ching Kuo squadron joined the RoCAF in December 1994 when 32 fighters were stationed at Ching-chuan-kang AFB.

		AIDC IDF Ching-Kuo. Taiwan's Aero Industry Development Center (AIDC) has developed an all‑weather fighter/interceptor aircraft as a follow-on to its TFE731-powered AT-3 aircraft and as a partial replacement for its aging F-104s and F-5s. The aircraft, initially designated Indigenous Defense Fighter (IDF), has been named Ching-Kuo in tribute to the nation's late president, Chiang Ching-Kuo.
		The Ching-Kuo is a twin-engine aircraft with swept wings, single vertical stabilizer, fuselage-mounted all‑moving horizontal tailplane, and bubble canopy. The program is drawing on the expertise of several Western firms, including General Dynamics, GE, and Lear Siegler.

		The Taiwanese were particularly fond of the F-5, since it was effective, easy to fly and maintain, and inexpensive to obtain and operate.
		(so technically, all the tech support and design expertise that would've went along with the F-16...but just not the aircraft itself!)...* From the side, the Ching Kuo has a certain general resemblance to the Northrop F-5, with some flavor of the F-5's descendant, the F/A-18 Hornet.
		Digging into Northrop's ideas, there are considerable "what-ifs" in the F-5 evelotion that eventually gave Northrop the YF-17 Cobra twin engine prototype, progenitor of some of you guys' favored Hornet family.

		It could be sold to countries like Brazil and others to suplement their main line fighters.
