Korean industrial giant Daewoo Heavy Industries has been at Paris this week looking for international partners to join its KTX-1 high performance turboprop trainer programme.

The aircraft has just passed the 1,000hr mark in its test programme and production is due to begin in 1998, with the support of the Korean Government Agency for Defence Development.

DJ Ra, the programme director, says: "Daewoo welcomes any partners who have an interest in being international allies."
