The Clone Air Force has asked for more funding to order more K03 Pterodactyl advanced trainers. The K03, which also has a light attack version the K58 Raptor, has an advanced hybrid propulsion system which combines an electric ducted fan with a traditional turbofan. The hybrid engine has proved highly reliable and efficient and the CAF are keen to incorporate this technology into other types.
The CAF ordered 110 K03s but would like to increase this to 150. A budget request has gone in with the CDF.
