Talk:KAI KT-1 Woongbi

Name?

Current Korean Romanization would spell 웅비 as Ungbi 104.34.233.207 (talk) 02:12, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Except we don't use the current Korean romanization, we use the common name in English. However, based on my - admittedly limited - reading, that would appear not to be "Wooongbi" but rather "Woong Bee". - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:32, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Korean Government officially changed its Romanization to Revised Romanization of Korean. Thus, Woongbi, which is an old form, should be changed into Ungbi. 104.34.233.207 (talk) 02:12, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Doesnt really matter what the Korean Government do it is the common name in English that is important. Do we know where the name comes from as it is not used on either the company or the ROKAF websites? MilborneOne (talk) 14:18, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

I'm trying to figure out how ROKAF or ROK government actually spell KT-1 in English. So far, KAI only uses "basic trainer aircraft" and does not give any nickname to it.Kadrun (talk) 23:02, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Armament

Hi, I think we should include this extra information, please discuss CanadianScotNationalist (talk) 20:01, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

The specs are for the KT-1, while the source clearly states the model involved was a KA-1. I've removed it again. Also, we don't generally add armament based on incidental usage, but from reliable sources that detail the weapons used by a particular variant. BilCat (talk) 21:29, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

the edition of Jane's (2004-5)used for a reference for the specs refers to two stores stations under each wing, which are fitted with some sort of high-tech light bomb carriers on the KT-1 and what appear to be more normal pylons on the XKO-1. The 2007-8 edition refers to two stores stations under each wing for the KO-1 and the KT-1C, with a range of rocket pod, machine-gun pods or auxiliary fuel tanks. It also mentions a possible 5th underfuselage station, which can take bombs or sensor pods. Neither edition refers by name to the KA-1 but this may be the same as the KO-1 - Jane's refers to 20 being ordered by South Korea, which matches how many KA-1s that our article says Korea has (without any sources).Nigel Ish (talk) 22:01, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Yeah I believe this refers to the same plane; different names are sometimes used for the same thing albeit a proper investigation is perhaps required CanadianScotNationalist (talk) 15:49, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Weapons for the KA-1

I wish to add the following information to the specs part of the page: 70 mm rockets and a 12.7 mm gun pod

It has been used in combat against North Korea drones. Likewise if the North tries this again then light attack aircraft (like this) and helicopters will be the primary response. Like in Ukraine it’s flak guns, not S-300s that you need. You can’t send a T-50 or a F-35. This is also the second manned aircraft to go down chasing drones, after that Ukrainian MiG-29 was lost to a Shahed-136.

Likewise if war breaks out it would used as ground attack. Jjmclellan82 (talk) 08:51, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

As I mentioned in the previous section, the specs are for the KT-1, not the KA-1, which is a different variant. BilCat (talk) 10:03, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
