*_Former Boeing Commercial and Military - Lean Manufacturing._* The first thing that stood out for me is the Cockpit. It is designed for 2, instructor and student. The rear seat is elevated a considerable amount while front seat is lowered. The resulting vertical spacing separation allows rear position to see over the top of front position. The amount of vertical separation was not by accident. The amount of vertical difference is considerable and the rear position has great forward visibility as does the front position. *_Great looking Trainer... it will be used for many years to come..._*
I was stationed at Sheppard AFB and Laughlin AFB between 1990 and 1992 when I was in the USAF. I saw the T-37 and T-38 flying almost daily for 2 years. At the time, USAF flight training took the student from the T-37 into the T-38 over their nearly 3 year course of study and earning their wings. They would spend almost a year in the T-37, then go off to Fairchild AFB in Washington state for Escape and Evasion Survival Training for use if they should ever have to bailout. That course was 6 months. Then they would come back and spend a year in the Talon. So during the course of their training, they started in the jet with the lowest landing speed in the USAF aircraft inventory (T-37) and ended in the jet with the highest landing speed in the inventory (T-38). After that, they would then transition to another base for training in whatever aircraft they would be working with for the bulk of their career. Most went to transports. Only a few students were lucky enough to be slotted for a fighter or bomber, and back then, most already knew what they would be flying once they were done with the primary training. Then in the mid to late 90s, the USAF added the Jayhawk. Pilot trainees would start in the T-37. If they were going into transports, their 2nd year of training would be in the Jayhawk. If they had a fighter slot or were going into the B-1 or B-2, then they would go to the T-38. The process is the basically the same these day. The only real change is the aircraft. They start in the T-6 Texan II, then transition to either the Jayhawk or the T-7 for their 2nd year.
gotta hand it to the Swedes. they could make furniture (Ikea), fighter jets (Saab Gripen) and recoilless rifles (Carl Gustaf) which the US military are using. they have good quality manufacturing….
As well as axes and other wood working tools. Gransfors Bruk is the name of the maker. Handmade and Easy to tell that they are built to last a lifetime
The old T-38 actually outperforms this in many respects (top speed, rate of climb). This is more advanced, though. Not many aircraft look as cool as the T-38/F-5 though. This isn't bad looking.
And the T-38, per my understanding, was difficult to stall due to its high thrust to weight ratio; a major advantage for an aircraft to be flown by trainees. (BTW: Interesting that an even older a/c was used as a chase plane during the T7 test flights: An A-4.)
Don't know for certain but I suspect that the Meteor trainer probably entered service before the T33 and I have seen photographs of a 2 seat ME262 but again I'm not sure when it was used, any comments??
25 May 2023. Boeing announces a TWO YEAR delay in delivery of the new Air Force primary jet trainer. Latest Biden/Boeing stumble appears to be the ejecting seat minimum weight limit specifications. Not too good at safley launching little kids or thin young women pilots. So the Air Force will keep flying the magnificently desigend and updated Northrop T-33s and scramble trying to come up with obscure spare parts for subcontractor systems where as that company no longer has the tooling or its gone out of business. The Navy will keep flying the updated T45 while possibly looking at Northrop-Grumman for a new tail hook trainer similar to the T-33 and F5-E/F that are easy to maintain and can last 50 or 60 years if necessary.
In the early 80s Northrop tried to getvthe AIRFORCE to buy a updated Aircraft called the F-20 Tiger shark it was a little larger better version of the F-5
My uncle flew the T-37 and T-38. Unfortunately, his first foray in the back seat of an F-4 ended in a training crash that claimed his life as well as the driver. I’ve often wondered how far he would have went in the Air Force.
@@playo9197 With all due respect; a pilot isn't a driver until he's completed the takeoff. the guy infront was a pilot not a driver. There are no circumstances where a pilot is referred to as a driver.
@@ServiceProcess I see, so a pilot isn't a driver unless he completes takeoff. And "the guy infront" was a pilot and not a driver. . . I can see why this may have caused the crash.
Ta 50 up grade for Poland in progress. Also planned to make a single seat version soon. Also, there is a project to upgrade for aircraft carriers. If all of this is carried out, I think it will be a very cost-effective program. For t7 to become cost effective, it needs to outsell ta50. The cost of making t7 is higher since labour is US is higher. Also, the ta50 production line is all set, but t7 is new, so to bring up production to a ta50 level, it may take a few more years, I believe
A cool thing is the Navy has been testing a Test aircraft out side of the PAX river airbase and even broke the sound barrier. If you tried hard enough and had the time you can actually see the runways and might be able to catch a sight of the aircraft

I heard that there is still some design problems which could cause "wing-lock" and other issues. This is more like Boeing's commercial, promotional content. What is the exact status of this training jet?
Indeed the Redhawk has wing issues. Wing Rock not Lock is what aviation week September 21, 2021 has a article on the web on it. It is years late now. Boeing is having issues with the Pegasus Refueler, Redhawk 737max, 777x and the 787 Dreamliner grounded again in 2-23. There constant failures to meet their contract obligations with both constant delays and major issues resulting in a loss of confidence. The reason they are picked is no surprise as the Lobbyists pay off congress in record numbers causing Boeing to move their offices from Washington State to Chicago and now to Virginia to place their massive teams of bribing lobbyists closer to congress. Allowing legal bribery is ruining our proud military denying our Pilots the equipment they deserve and getting poor value for the taxpayers. Airbus 330 refuelers are abundant cheaper and almost problem free but as always bribes are bribes.
It has one other problem no one speaks about. It won the competition based on a cheaper trainer than Lockheed-Martin/KAI model. However, Boeing-Saab has had numerous cost over runs and delays. This is not unusual unless you are the low bid.
The first production T-7A wasn't even rolled out until April 2022. Not sure where the 2021 date came from. As recently as Dec 2022, the US Air Force announced T-7A production has been delayed until 2024. Boeing has to fix some ejection seat and flight control system issues before the USAF will approve production.
I have a 1000 hrs in the T-38 and consider it my favorite plane. You wore that plane when you were flying it. It was sleek, slick, nimble and fast. It was a plane that you flew on the edge.
The T6 Texan was introduced in the 1930s and 40s to train pilots in the US Airforce and retired in 1999 rather than introduced in 2001 as you said. Also the P51 B or C you showed was never used as a trainer as far as I’m aware at any stage. It was a WW2 frontline fighter plane only.
The T-38 "Talon" is a beautiful aircraft. It looks like it's going supersonic just sitting on the ground. Another name for the T-37 "Tweet" was "Converter," i.e., a machine that converts jet fuel to noise.
My dad flew both the A-37 and later the F-4 in Vietnam. But if memory serves me right I believe his first military training was in a Cessna even though he had been flying my grandfathers Piper Cub for years.
Yep, a Cessna 172 whose military designation was the T-41. Having gone through the program myself during the Vietnam days it was 30 hrs in the T-41, 90 hrs in the T-37 and 120 hrs in the T-38 in 53 weeks. The T-7A has some big shoes to fill replacing the T-38. I have very fond memories of my time in it.
Fun to hear that SAAB is involved once being a hired guy down in the SAAB group. Don't forget the cars made by SAAB! I had 3 of them. As once a private pilot flying a "trainer" (MFI9b) that during the Biafra war was equipped with rockets being the Biafra "air force". The pilot was Carl Gustav von Rosen, and he fought the Migs! They didn't get him! During that time the MFI9b was classified as military. Trips outside Sweden were prohibited, or very difficult... Fun knowing I was flying "military" equipment...
I bought new 1972 SAAB 99E and was very deeply impressed. The most beautiful car I ever owned. I loved driving it, but couldn't make up my mind about the qualities I admired most. It had the ergonomics of a jet fighter, the strength of a tank, 40mpg with plenty of power, absolutely incredible in the snow -- but the one answer that covered everything -- incredible engineering. Designed for a long life. I'd still be driving it today -- 50 years later if I could have found an honest SAAB mechanic near where I lived (in MA). SAAB lost its best mechanics to Subaru. SAAB was the first with FWD, Subaru was second.
@@johnedwards3621 Horrible car, unreliable and like so many it fell apart, eaten away by rust, thanks to the use of steel rolls made in the USSR, and a bad copy of other European cars of the time, truly beautiful and unforgettable
Saab hasn't manufactured cars since 2016, when the auto group went bankrupt. I had a 1982 Saab 900 Turbo I bought brand new when I was in the military stationed in Germany. Loved that car, but it was expensive to work on and there wasn't an extensive dealer network in the US.
The T-50 is a better trainer. Boeing only got this contract because they were strong-arming the US government about a single vendor entity and threatening that there will only be a single provider of combat aircraft, Lockheed.
T-50 is just all-around more plane-which is why it lost. Boeing won because it’s bid came in way below Lockheed’s. Which it could do, since the plane was clean-sheet matched to the Air Force requirements.
The body looks very similar to the British RAF Hawk. It's the RAF training aircraft been around since 1974 similar body same name and it's used for training pilots. The Red Arrows also use the Hawk.
Meanwhile South Korea has had its T-50 in service since 2005. Apart from the twin tail the T-50 looks almost identical in profile. The T-50 has a max speed of Mach 1.5. Quite aa bit faster. This is a nice jingoistic ad though.
The Red Hawk was named in Honor of Tuskegee Airmen and it’s livery of those celebrated Red Tails of WW2! One of the most decorated fighter groups of WW2 with over 80 air medals!
@@Bellthorian hey why don’t you go tell that to the Air Force. Let you tell it, the United States Air Force is so damn stupid for honoring the 332nd of WW2 fame. It’s funny how many of guys never even served a day in uniform but think they know what they’re talking about! Well guess what ignoramus, here’s a couple facts for you! 1. The remarks I originally made is 100% factually based. 2. The Air Force has had a memorial and statute honoring the Tuskegee Airmen at the United States Air Force Academy for decades upon decades! Therefore, if that is all true? That means that the Air Force immensely respects them and ergo, you’re just a piss-ant who’s opinion is if no importance whatsoever!

The Aircraft you show @ 5:39 is NOT an "AT-6 Wolverine" The aircraft shown with tail number N610AT is a TEXTRON AVIATION Model 3000/R-6 Texan II manufactured in 2009 which is based on the Pilatus PC-9 and produced since 2000 and used as trainers by Air Force/Navy since 2010. BTW, N630LA was a Model 3000 (AT-6C) manufactured in 2013. Again, this is NOT an "AT-6" Wolverine or even a "T-6 Wolverine". The aircraft shown at 5:15 is the WWII vintage T-6 Texan/SNJ/Harvard which was retired from US service at the end of 1959.
The Red Hawk,great name for a good aircraft in honor of the greatest fighter pilots the Airforce ever had,(THT TUSKEGEE AIRMEN) DAMN RIGHT,GIVE IT A CHANCE TO PROVE ITSELF
START TRAINING UKRAINIAN PILOTS WITH THESE WONDERFUL PLANES, ALSO THE UKRAINIAN HELICOPTER PILOTS NEED O BE TRAINED IN THE APACHE GUNSHIPS AND CHINOOK TRANSPORT HELICOPTERS
At 5:15 the video shows a complete failing of accurate information. 🙄 They show a WWII T-6 Texan and then say they are showing a "variation", the "AT-6B Texan". - The second plane IS NOT an "AT-6B Texan". It is not related to the T-6 Texan in any way except for the very confusing choice of names. It is actually an "AT-6B Texan II". The "Texan II" part is very important distinction as it is a completely different and unrelated model of plane based on a Pilates PC-9 turboprop. 70 years ago there was an "AT-6B Texan" based on the original T-6 that had an upgraded Pratt & Whitney Wasp R-1340-AN-1 radial engine. It is a really unfortunate name choice as it leads to people spreading wildly inaccurate information about the plane.
The T-7 looks to be an awesome jet trainer! Having half the power of a legacy F/A-18 Hornet is incredible in itself. I don't know how the top speed is quoted at at only 808MPH when stated 17 200 lbs thrust with afterburner engaged?
If you look at comparable aircraft (none are as new) you will note that the engine weight setup is a lot closer to Mach 1.5. And the T-7A is NOT in service, its still in test and pre production build that the USAF has not given a pass on yet and has just been issued in a group of (5?) to the USAF to wring out and evaluate to determine if it needs (will need) further refinement in aerodynamics and flight control software.
Canggih dari segi apa min... Double seat, ukuran pesawat juga sekelas hawk, f 5 tiger II, Amx, T 50 golden eagle, kemungkinan ini serang ringan aja at trainer...
We should make stealth prop fighter planes. Prop planes can out maneuver fast jets. If the enemy can't get a lock on it. A prop plane can maneuver to a good position and strike it with a long-range missile.
Why would you say the T-7 is the Airforce's FIRST supersonic ic trainer, only to state the supersonic performance of the AT-38 moments later?? Since its inception into the Airforce in 1958, the T-38 has been a supersonic trainer.
How stealthy is the Red Tail? Considering lowering the radar cross section of all combat aircraft noe it makes sense that the Red Tail so they can be sold as light combat aircraft for countries who cannot afford and maintain the big planes.

Glad Boeing and SAAB got it right. They both badly needed this contract. Lot’s of jobs saved at both companies.🤗
Boeing and SAAB are wrong this time. Computer simulations alone cannot develop airplanes. A wind tunnel experiment is essential.
Saab in parallel developed the all new (similar looks as the legacy Gripen C/D) Gripen E/F fighter jet for the Swedish and Brazilian Air Forces.

The T-50 is a better trainer. Boeing only got this contract because they were strong-arming the US government about a single vendor entity and threatening that there will only be a single provider of combat aircraft, Lockheed.
T-50 is just all-around more plane-which is why it lost. Boeing won because it’s bid came in way below Lockheed’s. Which it could do, since the plane was clean-sheet matched to the Air Force requirements.
development delay due to defects
굳이 이런거 말한다고 뭐가 바뀌나 ..
The body looks very similar to the British RAF Hawk. It's the RAF training aircraft been around since 1974 similar body same name and it's used for training pilots. The Red Arrows also use the Hawk.
so do the US Navy as the T45
Meanwhile South Korea has had its T-50 in service since 2005. Apart from the twin tail the T-50 looks almost identical in profile. The T-50 has a max speed of Mach 1.5. Quite aa bit faster.
This is a nice jingoistic ad though.
Talks about the Texan II, shows the old 1950s era Texan with a radial engine.
That's about the sexiest trainer aircraft since the Mustang. Looks almost like a mini F-18.
Pretty cool it looks like a baby F-18
アメリカはやはりすごい。いとも簡単に素晴らしい技術の塊を作り出すことができる唯一の国だ。
很棒的视频👌👌
The SR-71 was developed faster than a trainer. Kelly Johnson was a miracle worker.
Wow … another amazing bird
Magnificent airplane !...
The Red Hawk was named in Honor of Tuskegee Airmen and it’s livery of those celebrated Red Tails of WW2! One of the most decorated fighter groups of WW2 with over 80 air medals!
Actually overhyped, though.
@@leeshackelford7517 ya really Suck-a-Ford! 😉
the 332nd had one of the worst combat records of any fighter group in the war. They didn't produce a SINGLE ace.
@@Bellthorian hey why don’t you go tell that to the Air Force. Let you tell it, the United States Air Force is so damn stupid for honoring the 332nd of WW2 fame.
It’s funny how many of guys never even served a day in uniform but think they know what they’re talking about!
Well guess what ignoramus, here’s a couple facts for you! 1. The remarks I originally made is 100% factually based. 2. The Air Force has had a memorial and statute honoring the Tuskegee Airmen at the United States Air Force Academy for decades upon decades!
Therefore, if that is all true? That means that the Air Force immensely respects them and ergo, you’re just a piss-ant who’s opinion is if no importance whatsoever!
No mention of the T-45 Goshawk
They should do sit-ups where the upper part of the abdomen is worked, with the legs raised and trying to touch the feet with the hands and its variants that work the upper part of the abdomen, they will see improvements quickly. That upper abdominal exercise will take away your depression and anxiety, it will also heal your mind.
you have admit the T7 is a really good looking plane
Is the wing rock problem solved?
When does production start?
Hermosas máquinas para surcar los cielos 👍👏👏
I don’t know any pilot that would pass up the opportunity to fly the new T-6. Mr. Beech might not argue.
T-7 looks awesome great looking plane
T50이 답이다.
뱅기 참 족같이 생겼네요
This would be a kick ass cover aircraft for the A-10 or even a good recon aircraft
It's the son of a F16 mother an F 18 father I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
T-38 is a excellent plane.
Unfortunately, it is in the 2nd position after T-50 as a training jet in the world.
The Aircraft you show @ 5:39 is NOT an "AT-6 Wolverine" The aircraft shown with tail number N610AT is a TEXTRON AVIATION Model 3000/R-6 Texan II manufactured in 2009 which is based on the Pilatus PC-9 and produced since 2000 and used as trainers by Air Force/Navy since 2010. BTW, N630LA was a Model 3000 (AT-6C) manufactured in 2013. Again, this is NOT an "AT-6" Wolverine or even a "T-6 Wolverine". The aircraft shown at 5:15 is the WWII vintage T-6 Texan/SNJ/Harvard which was retired from US service at the end of 1959.
Why did you put video up of a Harvard when you were talking of the T6?
Sky-Raider was the best trainer/attack aircraft.
The Red Hawk,great name for a good aircraft in honor of the greatest fighter pilots the Airforce ever had,(THT TUSKEGEE AIRMEN) DAMN RIGHT,GIVE IT A CHANCE TO PROVE ITSELF
Good thing Saab was there to make sure the project went well. Today's Boeing could not have done this.
START TRAINING UKRAINIAN PILOTS WITH THESE WONDERFUL PLANES, ALSO THE UKRAINIAN HELICOPTER PILOTS NEED O BE TRAINED IN THE APACHE GUNSHIPS AND CHINOOK TRANSPORT HELICOPTERS
There’s one other thing I wish saab what do start building cars again
GM owned the Saab car brand from 2000, Saab AB is purely aerospace and defence company and makes super stealthy submarines as well
What about the British Hawk ? Wasn't that suitable candidate ? Or an upgraded Alpha Jet ?
At 5:15 the video shows a complete failing of accurate information. 🙄 They show a WWII T-6 Texan and then say they are showing a "variation", the "AT-6B Texan".
- The second plane IS NOT an "AT-6B Texan". It is not related to the T-6 Texan in any way except for the very confusing choice of names.
It is actually an "AT-6B Texan II". The "Texan II" part is very important distinction as it is a completely different and unrelated model of plane based on a Pilates PC-9 turboprop. 70 years ago there was an "AT-6B Texan" based on the original T-6 that had an upgraded Pratt & Whitney Wasp R-1340-AN-1 radial engine.
It is a really unfortunate name choice as it leads to people spreading wildly inaccurate information about the plane.
That is one good looking plane.
I hope they have some flexibility to do something in war time. Maybe some hard points to carry a few dumb bombs?
The T-7 it looks bad ass
Looks like it has good export potential for Boeing.
The T-7 looks to be an awesome jet trainer! Having half the power of a legacy F/A-18 Hornet is incredible in itself. I don't know how the top speed is quoted at at only 808MPH when stated 17 200 lbs thrust with afterburner engaged?
They don't want the airframe to fall apart.
@@tedmoss That's just a single engine F-18. There's nothing special or Advanced about it. That's like a downgrade!
It's just a training plane. The initials "T" which means Training .
If you look at comparable aircraft (none are as new) you will note that the engine weight setup is a lot closer to Mach 1.5. And the T-7A is NOT in service, its still in test and pre production build that the USAF has not given a pass on yet and has just been issued in a group of (5?) to the USAF to wring out and evaluate to determine if it needs (will need) further refinement in aerodynamics and flight control software.
The speed given by Boeing is the 800+ mph, not 1150 (Mach 1.5). Once again facts seem to be running short when discussing this plane.
When your trainer aircraft could best the competition
Variant of the F-5 family (T-38, F-5, F-18, F-20). Interesting amalgamation of innovation.
Canggih dari segi apa min... Double seat, ukuran pesawat juga sekelas hawk, f 5 tiger II, Amx, T 50 golden eagle, kemungkinan ini serang ringan aja at trainer...
The T-7 looks like lovechild between a Boeing F/A18 Hornet and a Dassault/Dornier Alphajet
Obviously it is a lovechild between Boeing and SAAB 💕
Thank you. That’s my opinion as well
The T-38c has not been replaced by the T-7. The T-7 will replace the T-38c when they become available.
No mentioned of the T33?
The AT6 Texan had a top speed of only about 208 mph, not the 350 you stated. The T 28 would get closer to that speed (348 mph).
He just mixed up the aircraft.
You can't measure miles of rooster with a tape measure... LOL 😂
We should make stealth prop fighter planes. Prop planes can out maneuver fast jets. If the enemy can't get a lock on it. A prop plane can maneuver to a good position and strike it with a long-range missile.
Looks like a hybrid of the F/A-18 and the F-16. The landing gear is definitely borrowed from the F-16.
America and Western Europe co operation.👍👊
Why would you say the T-7 is the Airforce's FIRST supersonic ic trainer, only to state the supersonic performance of the AT-38 moments later?? Since its inception into the Airforce in 1958, the T-38 has been a supersonic trainer.
The T-37 was the first jet trainer used by the US armed forces? What about the T-33?
How stealthy is the Red Tail? Considering lowering the radar cross section of all combat aircraft noe it makes sense that the Red Tail so they can be sold as light combat aircraft for countries who cannot afford and maintain the big planes.
> While I love aviation and dread the thought that of fewer opportunities for pilots, hasn't technology left the need to have a pilot actually in the aircraft, rather than fly remote?

T-7 is a 50% Swedish plane. SAAB makes JAS 39 Gripen too. America, even a small country can produce top-notch everything.
T-7は、F-18を小さくしたようなヒコーキですね✈️
