The KAI T-50 Golden Eagle (????) is a family of South Korean supersonic advanced trainers and light combat aircraft, developed by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) with the American aerospace company Lockheed Martin. The T-50 is South Korea's first indigenous supersonic aircraft and one of the world's few supersonic trainers.[6]Development began in the late 1990s, and its maiden flight occurred in 2002. The aircraft entered active service with the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) in 2005.The T-50 has been further developed into aerobatic and combat variants, namely T-50B, TA-50, and FA-50. The F-50 is another advanced fighter variant being considered. The T-50B serves with the South Korean air force's aerobatics team. The TA-50 light attack variant has been ordered by Indonesia. The Philippines ordered 12 units of the FA-50 variant. The T-50 is also being marketed as a candidate for the United States Air Force's next-generation T-Xtrainer programme.[7] Thailand ordered 4 units of the T-50 advanced trainer variant.[8] special thanks to deusalgor and agdynamics

    I am really sorry if it was unpleasant for you. Your information was from Wikipedia. I just don't trust Wikipedia, but I checked another Internet sources and understood You are right. I am just fanatic of Sukhoi, Russian jets and know lots of about this subject (I want to build planes in the real life). By the way, good luck in your airplanes! One more time sorry!

    @ShockRF T-50 is also the name of this Korean Fighter, and golden eagle is its other name my friend so I put it as the real counter part did ;)

    This plane is good, but there is a fact mistake you made is description. The T-50 PAK FA is RUSSIAN fighter, The Golden Eagle (BERKUT) SU-47 is also RUSSIAN fighter. This plane is too named T-50 Golden eagle, but it's better to call it "KAI-50" to avoid confusion. But, by the way, this plane is pretty nice! I love it)))
