The K3 is based around an innovative hybrid powerplant that combines a turbofan with an electrically powered duct fan for low-speed flight and cruise. Its the first time such a hybrid powerplant has been used by the Clones, its not known if the K58 will use the same engine. The K3 is expected to enter service in 2116 and will train pilots to fly the K45C/K in CAF and CNAS service.
