KAI Aerospace Museum

Korea Aerospace Industries’ museum at Sacheon combines national air power, Korean War history and modern aerospace manufacturing. Its outdoor aircraft stand alongside armored vehicles, engines and military artifacts. Aircraft and collections: Korean War aircraft, jet development, aerospace industry and ground vehicles. The municipal museum description lists 26 real aircraft outdoors and also identifies mockups; the displayed types here follow the municipal inventory rather than claiming every modern prototype is a completed production airframe. The entries below are selected source-attributed airframes and artifacts, not a promise that every item is accessible on the date of a visit. Collection holdings, restoration projects, replicas, partial airframes and public displays are distinguished where the institution provides sufficient evidence. Please check visitor arrangements directly with the museum.
