Awesome! This Supersonic Tiny Jet has take off and landing power. I fancy the take-and-go landing strategy!
Real bravery there, flying a brand new Boeing these days takes it. lol

@@surelyyoujokemeinfailure7531 In fact, I see that there is an over-invoicing in these figures. Other countries manage to build the same thing for a quarter of the cost. And that's not a negative, it's a warning that they're making more money out of the armed forces than strengthening them. In other words, it's a way of deceiving the American people.
Quick correction - the F-22 is not a 4th Gen. fighter, but a 5th Gen. fighter jet.
Saab (the maker of JAS 39 Gripen) is responsible for development and production of the fully installed rear fuselage for the T-7A. The seven rear fuselages manufactured at Saab in Linköping are included in the EMD test aircraft. Saab has opened a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in West Lafayette, Indiana for series-produced aircraft that will be used for pilot training by the USAF.

Hi, went into the USAF right after high school as a Flight Sim Tech, we had special training programs to teach the IP's procedures for the back seat so I got to know a lot about air ops and emergency procedures. then I got moved to C-141 & C5 flight sims, miss those days.
It's an awesome jet and will serve the USAF in training the future US air force and allied air force pilots in advanced airmanship for at least the next 3 decades. Go Air Force!
A Miata of aircraft. Simply looks like fun to fly.
I don’t understand why everyone say it is Boeing. It is equally as much Swedish SAAB and the development of Jas 39 Gripen that lead to that aircraft!

Look at the size of those rear control surfaces .. that thing has some maneuvering potential.
Washed KC-135A's a hundred times or so when I was in SAC, 1989-1993. Funny how things change...... never once wore a harness on top of the wings. I remember post-wash re-lube. Especially the flap tracks and cove lip door rollers. Used to fill a cloth parts bag with lube to do all the cables on the rear spar and MLG area. Would just run in over the cables. If you felt a snag you looked for broken strands in the cable.

Not only is this a quantum leap forward for training, turns out it is an amazing plane in general. These will be used in combat roles and rightfully so. This plane is a very, very badass little fighter.
Looks like a marriage of the BAE Hawk and the NG Hornet. Cool!
Sweet looking bird.
SAAB (maker of the JAS 39 Gripen) is setting up a new factory in USA, it will be interesting to see what comes out of this
Looking sharp.
All my respect for our Air Force pilots. Our country is so lucky to have such talented airmen❤❤❤
Very tidy looking plane so probably very good.
I love this new multirole Jet's shape..!!
It's very sharp and I'm glad such an advanced and economical aircraft is going to replace the T38. But the T38 is still one of the most gorgeous aircraft ever built.
Single turbine and neat looking from front end-great to see SAAB’s name in the mix-looks like a superb new trainer :-)

Due to the issue with wing rock, I learned that Boeing had to restrict its high angle-of-attack maneuverability on T-7.
Can't wait to see these in NASA, Aggressor and Thunderbirds paint schemes.
The T-7 is one good looking little plane.
It's cute! Looks like a bird 🙂
The T38 is still the prettiest its shape says gooo... fast. The F22 is total badass but it still looks like a flying bathtub.
cutest looking one too 😍
Glad to see more BD-10 kits being assembled. 😉
Will not take too long until wing attachment points are installed to use it as ground attack plane. Looks like a shrinked Hornet to me and has the same narrow MLG as the Falcon. I bet this girl is a fun to fly. The LEX should give massive high alpha capabilities. Love this plane. Good looking flies propperly.

It's like a Hornet on opioids, but still more talented than the old F-5 trainer variant.
I'd sign up just to fly that, just kidding. Flying the sixth gen (NGAD) is what new pilots are competing for.
Are fighter jet cockpits normally manual opened?
Absence of a fly by wire system makes the T-38 easier to fly, that is if you want to get in touch with how the aircraft feels. I could take the stick laterally to the stop and do 9 aileron rolls before I got it back to neutral. Of course, I had to limit the traverse time to 10 seconds or more, or my helmet might crack the canopy.
Very cool information, thanks!
Great! Fantástico pelo material adicional.
Thanks, Daily Aviation.
If the Red Hawk had a single vertical stabilizer, no afterburner nozzle, and the nose gear was moved forward it would look like the SIAI Marchetti S.211, an Italian trainer that was introduced in 1984. Initial design tests for the S.211 were done using Boeing's wind tunnel, so Boeing engineers had access to the information when designing the Red Hawk. The S.211 is a subsonic aircraft. As a former AF flight instructor and flight examiner I can truthfully say that student pilots in the Undergraduate Pilot Training program were only allowed to experience supersonic flight on one training mission in the T-38 Talon. The rest of the training was done at subsonic speeds which means the T-38's supersonic speed was overkill for training purposes and the cost of the Talon compared to the S.211 was an unnecessary expense for taxpayers. This video is supposedly about the Red Hawk jet; however, after the 4:40 point on the timeline the video is about other aircraft, not the T-7A.
A trainer that could actually fight awsome
What a cool little Jet!!! Great footage!!
It'll never be as beautiful as the T-38 IMO. . . . .

This bird has conventional wing design though, it's intakes are inspired by Gripen's.
Wow, what a no brainer of a change. 3 x the thrust of 2 jet engines. Modern avionics, a perfectly balanced jet, looks like much lower stall speeds, better vis for the pilot and teacher, great look at this thing!

Great view from both seats
From the front it looks almost like an A6 bravo prowler. It seems to be a in between and A6 and a A4 and if it had a tail it could catch its own tail and a BFM. That brings a dog fight to a whole new level. Awesome!👊😎 Yes I know the A6 is the intruder. They have a b model that is called the prowler
I'm glad Boeing is getting involved in the fighter jets. Nothing they done gives me the wow factor. Pretty much building an economical fighter.

The most advanced safety feature of this Boeing is when you need to emergency eject, the cockpit capsule will have blown off already
I hope someday they allow a civilianized version of this craft to exist. It looks too beautiful to be kept as a military plane.
The T-38 is so old and doesn't really help train pilots for the environments they will encounter with new aircraft. I hope this plane addresses the T-38s shortcomings.
U.S. Air Force trainees have to train on a plane that can't even fly at a high angle and then carry out actual training on the F-15EX, F-16 and F-35 again. The U.S. Air Force is putting on a huge show to save a company called Boeing.
Looks like a F-18 had a forbidden relationship with a F-16, and this is the love child.
