After the FDP (fighter Development Program) was successful,
the Royal Thai Air Force considered bringing the F-40 Y-jack the product from FDP into the service, with around 60 delivered, in 4 squadrons.

In 2040, the Royal Thai Navy decided to provide an F-35B for the maritime patrol mission and service in the light carrier with around 14-32 units, however, the government petitioned to Royal Thai Navy, to order the F-40. the Royal Thai Navy rejected this petition. because an F-40 wasn't designed for the maritime mission. By the way, the effort to take the F-40 into service isn't over, Royal Thai Navy was offered by EADC and Faculty of Engineering-CU, for the project to develop and upgrade the F-40 for the Navy's mission, in F-40 Type N, known as the F-40X project.
