Its business activity comprised the production and repair of jet engines, including assembly of the GE J85, CFM56, LM2500 and F404 engines as well as, in cooperation with Pratt & Whitney, the production of the PW 4000.[1] SSA also sold turbine blades for the GE CF6-80C to General Electric,[8] produced stringers for Boeing[9] as well as other components such as wing ribs for various aircraft.[10] They had a joint venture with Sermatech International for services related to the treatment of surfaces for turbine engine components.[11] In 1996 SSA reached an agreement with Bell Helicopter to co-develop the Bell 427.[12] They also cooperated with Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute in the development of composite materials for aircraft.[13] In the early 1990s, SSA provided major assemblies and mate through delivery of F-16 Falcons for the Republic of Korea Air Force from its plant in Sacheon under license to Lockheed Martin. South Korea and the US jointly developed the KAI T-50 Golden Eagle via a joint venture between SSA and Lockheed Martin,[14] originally conceived as the KTX-2.[15][16]
