I dont know about the detail, but Indonesian Aerospace work share for the mass production stage include the production of airframe including the wing, pylon, and other fuselage.

This is for all KF21 produced in Korea and Indonesia. For example all of the KF21 prototypes uses some of Indonesian made fuselage that currently only for metal part, including all Pylons used in current KF21 prototypes

We need to wait the completion of Composite production hangar first before we start producing wings and other fuselage. The composite is similar like F35

IFX Production Hangars (Assembling + Composite Manufacturing). Metal parts will use current production facility. For composite hangar and assembly facility still need more investment.




For PTDI work shares (main wing, tailplane, pylon and after fuselage parts) which have composites. Joining the KFX program is also to improve the capabilities of composite aerostructure technology in the form of CFRP. So there is a possibility that the IFX composite hangar will be used for composite other aircraft too
