Real bravery there, flying a brand new Boeing these days takes it. lol
Calling out what's wrong with it is the most dangerous job.
@@ryanjt84 Sure is, those people can’t seem to stay alive lately.
We MUST NOT FORGET those highly skilled men and women who tend to these amazing and complex flying machines. They keep them operating in tip top shape so the pilots can make them do what they're designed to do. A H U G E SHOUT OUT to the GROUND CREWS.
Beautiful, awesome craft...its red tail truly carries on the legacy of the incredible P51D my dad flew in the war. Great to see the Swedes involved as well....wonderful people !
Awesome! This Supersonic Tiny Jet has take off and landing power. I fancy the take-and-go landing strategy!
If it looks right, it is right and this plane is gorgeous!
bit fat in the canopy section , a little ug. f16 looks better.
Looks almost like a single engine f18
Yep, f16/f18 love child !😂
Its not right it was built by Boeing
Look at the size of those rear control surfaces .. that thing has some maneuvering potential.
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.
最初から、F-21を本格採用しておれば、苦しむことはなかったということでしょう。
SAAB made this project successful according to inside information 👍🏻
yeah people just say Boeing, but SAAB is a big part of it to
Well if this is Faulty like Max.... XD Boeing can be sure to end its last career
I dont think its a great idea to go against your consumers.... Its the whole idea of capitalism No?
Planes are capitol intensive, and the needs change before you get done building it. Tough buisness.
I’m in awe of the people who can fly and master these aircraft. Staying ahead of it is a super skill set.
Thanks
Have a go at it in DCS world. You get the pleasure of learning to fly jets and WW2 aircraft at a study level.
@@simoncampbell-smith6745 I tried DCS years ago. Heck, it took me 30 minutes to get the aircraft started let alone operate the armament panels. It’s an awesome game though.
You are welcome.
If you can operate any vehicle safely, YOU CAN DO IT, too. Being a pilot requires only two character qualities: motivation and good study habits.
A Miata of aircraft. Simply looks like fun to fly.
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!
Quick correction - the F-22 is not a 4th Gen. fighter, but a 5th Gen. fighter jet.
When an F-5 and an F-18 love each other VERY much...
More like F5 and T-38
This is a trainer...
An Aermacchi 346 with f18 tail.
@@JoeSchmo51 with a afterburner
Gripen and F-18
What a beautiful plane!
Finally a jet that the back seater can see from. Landing a T-38 from the back seat is is a lot of hope and pray.
Pfff… with over 2000 hrs…. Not true
@@casha10x72 you can get good at it, but it’s still really difficult. More hard landings from IP’s than trainees.
I always wondered how tf back seaters can see anything with the traditional two seater jets. This design makes so much more sense. It’s similar to an attack helicopter line the Apache.
Did you serve in 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.
This is why the USAF is one of the best air forces in the world! Maintainers are the bomb!😊
damn straight!
They get endless funding. That is why they are “the best”.
@@benjamindover4033 Correct. This is the kind of military you can get only if you spend a whole lot of money on it.
@@benjamindover4033 And I’m glad they do! My taxes were submitted to protect our nation, not to pay a deadbeats tuition obligations or their idiotic emotional never ending feelings of victimhood. I want our enemies to fear us, along with our friends to respect us. That way, our “village” isn’t raided by a horde of men who think that we are protected by rainbow warriors who can’t define what a woman is or know that Hamas is an extension of an ideology of evil!
@@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.
thats a good looking trainer jet.
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!
Because it's a joint project between Boeing and Saab
@@caydevii2428 and the engine will be the GE 404, same as what is in the F18 Super Hornet
The parts that break are the Boeing parts.
The same reason the J20 is Chinese and not American
@@markc1548 No! The aircraft is developed by SAAB engineers mainly. It is not any copy from Boeing. It is a collaboration.
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.
We never put a cover on the end of the boom either. I like how the airman was putting grease into a zerk fitting, but the caption was referring to hydraulics 😁
What a gorgeous wee plane!
Thank you to the Service Men and Women in our Armed Forces.😊
X2 and a Hear Hear to that!! GOD BLESS and KEEP THEM SAFE.
Looks like a marriage of the BAE Hawk and the NG Hornet. Cool!
Looking sharp.
I always thought the T38 design is ageless and so amazing ! It looks very sleek. It looks very modern to me
End it looks like the T 38 is being replaced with an inferior aircraft. That’s the new American way
@@steveperreira5850 yeah I agree the American way now is going what's cheaper and easy ! The craft that's replacing the T38 looks ok, my problem with it is the same I have for the T38 and the F14 and F117 and even the SR71 and that is why the hell don't they arm them and use them..I feel it's such a waste of amazing air craft! If something is a good or great craft it will stay that way and just modernize it and add weapons. The craft that America retires are better some of the aircraft being used by other militaries ! Idk just my opinion I guess
one engine simplifies maintenance and spare parts in half.
Seriously? The T-38 first flew in 1959! How can you even think it's being replaced by an "inferior" aircraft. The avionics alone will be cutting edge along with fly by wire and advanced targeting instrumentation for training purposes. @steveperreira5850
@@steveperreira5850 the American way has always been about capitalism
Can't wait to see these flying at Vance
looks like the love child of a union between an F18 and a Folland Gnat.
A mini-Hornet!!!
I want one!
I love this new multirole Jet's shape..!!
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
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.
To do what as a fighter? No gun, no missile bays or racks, no wing hardpoints. Put the weight of armaments on it and you lose all the maneuverability. It's a lead-in trainer for students who will graduate to F-35's and newer fighters.
@@-DCM- Calm down Francis. To clarify, this would be perfect as a fighter for smaller nations looking exclusively for area defense. You could easily mount wingtip rails for missiles and add a 20mm gun. Very little weight added and still balanced with little performance loss, maybe 2-3% max if that. A T-38 is also an F-5 combat fighter and both the T-38 & this jet are of relatively equal size.
@@tedwojtasik8781 not quite. The - 38 and F-5 were derived separately from an earlier Northrop design that lost out to the Starfighter.
Quora: "The fighter was NOT developed from the trainer or vice versa. One was not modified into the other, but both were developed at the same time from the same parent project."
The F-5E/F has larger stronger wings and control surfaces, and upgraded engines, J85-5 up to - 21. It was over 200 mph faster even with a combat loadout.
T-38/F-4/F-5 Equipment Specialist, retired. 431X1 fighter crew chief, retired.
@@-DCM- That's nice, my point remains as to the ease of turning this aircraft into an area defense fighter. BTW, I thought the F-20 should have been developed, another amazing aircraft.
Sweet looking bird.
Very tidy looking plane so probably very good.
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.
more like french alpha jet
@@Ameer-dj5gj there are Alpha Jets in France but there is no french Alpha Jet 😊
@@iloveaviation-burgerclub-a8145 you're right. My bad.
It's like a Hornet on opioids, but still more talented than the old F-5 trainer variant.
Beautiful bird.
Two US Navy aviators upsize the Struts , a tail hook , hold the fries and try her on the Flight deck.
All my respect for our Air Force pilots. Our country is so lucky to have such talented airmen❤❤❤
Can't wait to see these in NASA, Aggressor and Thunderbirds paint schemes.
Due to the issue with wing rock, I learned that Boeing had to restrict its high angle-of-attack maneuverability on T-7.
Its not ”Boeing” its Boeing-Saab. Swedish Saab made half of the plane
Which half?
@@AKSnowbat907 The half that doesn't rip off mid-flight.
누가 만드는게 중요한게 아니고 미군에 납품한다는게 중요하다
@@ColinAdamsCBPASoundhahahaha hahahaha 😅 .
@ColinAdamsCBPASound If half of the plane is gone, who's to say what ripped off of what?
You should have added the ATC audio for this flight.
US Air Force Tests Its Newest Boeing Supersonic Small Jet, watching this video is really entertaining, unfortunately I'm afraid of heights...
success for "The Daily....."....Pekalongan,Central Java,Indonesia,
I think these little things would be a decent coastal defense around the country. Thats if you give the hawk its talons, beak, & eyes back.
This can easily be arranged if ever necessary.
Single turbine and neat looking from front end-great to see SAAB’s name in the mix-looks like a superb new trainer :-)
Superb aircraft i love it.
This bird has conventional wing design though, it's intakes are inspired by Gripen's.
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.
The T-7 is one good looking little plane.
wow, if the F-16 and F-15 had a child together it would look a lot like this new trainer jet.
Man, I should have become a plane-washer. That job seems chill AF.
Such a cool plane
Nice. Less costly over time I'd bet, with advantages of efficiency aimed F-16 type, maintenance.
A single engine generates *three times the power* of the TwinJet T-38! WOW! 🚀
Is the plane heavier? Why is it slower than the T-38?
Doesn't carry any heavy weapons..🥴🥴🥴
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!
The T38 is still the prettiest its shape says gooo... fast. The F22 is total badass but it still looks like a flying bathtub.
I was a USAF crew chief on the T-38. They said this jet is 10 times LESS maintenance required? Impossible.
That might include overhaul cadence and complexity
Maybe it's built with higher quality materials made to last longer but that means it's more expensive to buy initially
It would be, if the project is abandoned as it should.
Take pride ! Even in just washing a jet - You are still maintainence ! Plus : free chow !
If your USAF Base chow is not top level , contact me . NCO/ OC food service .
No, that’s not what they said at all 🤦🏻♂️ Ten times cheaper maintenance……
Glad to see more BD-10 kits being assembled. 😉
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.
Boeing is producing both the F/A-18 Super Hornet and the F-15 so it's not exactly new to them. Yes, both were originally McDonnel Douglas (then as Hornet without the Super) but that is Boeing since 1997.
Apache attack helicopter
Thanks, Daily Aviation.
It's cute! Looks like a bird 🙂
cutest looking one too 😍
Very cool information, thanks!
Its basically just a single engine f-18.
Using the same engine and fuselage geometries, it even has the Leading Edge Extension Fence like the F-18. (LEX Fence)
I'd sign up just to fly that, just kidding. Flying the sixth gen (NGAD) is what new pilots are competing for.
The T-7 Urbanyouth is going to be an important airplane.
A trainer that could actually fight awsome
The jet is like a mut a t-38 f-16 and f-18 all in one
Muy lindo avion , moderno, maniobrable, un motor , menos costos de vuelo. Ideal para los paises que no eatan en la carrera armamentista
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
Great view from both seats
Well it doesnt have a door that can fall off....So thats a plus. But still a lots of parts that can show that ol' Boeing-touch....
It'll never be as beautiful as the T-38 IMO. . . . .
Definitely a good trainer mach 1.05 top speed, range of 900 miles. I wonder if it have any hard points for combat training.
4 it is in the video
Watch the video. It tells you
The most advanced safety feature of this Boeing is when you need to emergency eject, the cockpit capsule will have blown off already
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.
These are beautiful steerable rockets.
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.
Usually the Air Force rejects Boeing's fighter aircraft prototypes but, this jet looks like a small trainer.
I hope someday they allow a civilianized version of this craft to exist. It looks too beautiful to be kept as a military plane.
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.
Nice; STING like a bee, but FLY like a Humming Bird.
Some real cool footage!
Look.. it's the shiny new russian Mig-28
Very cool video !
This aircraft is more than a year behind schedule still has a bunch of safety problems and Boeing is looking for relief in meeting full requirements. This is a new development aircraft which violates the original contract which called for an aircraft that was already in production. Boeing under bid and it was known that they did so. So the cost over runs of more than $1 billion should come as no surprise. Why the government accepts this amazes me.
Because there are only two contractors in the US who can build fighter aircraft, Boeing and Lockheed Martin. If Boeing stopped getting contracts only Lockheed would be left and though the current system sucks, imagine how much Lockheed would charge if they knew every fighter contract had to go to them.
Government should have considered that before passing over the YF-23. That would have kept Northrop in the fighter game while Lockheed could have focused on the F-35 later on.
Boeing is a part of the government, understand now?
Look at the zumwalt basically all that money on ships down the drain … thanks for sharing this
_Why the government accepts this amazes me._
Because congress gets huge kickbacks. ALL CORRUPT.
Let us not forget the A-10 x 3
10:02 We were always told to never marshall the aircraft while walking backwards. "Why is that Sargent?" "Airman, do you have eyes in the back of your head?" Yeah.....I've seen guys trip over chocks and a taxiway light trying to marshall while walking backwards. One hit his head on the pavement. We were told to get more marshallers if needed and handoff from one to the other.
I hope they finish the project, and make the light fighter variant
Really good looking plane
Glad
you're good.
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.
Test Gripen E, it is amazing 👍🏻
Petter, you have the ears in this industry it seems, do Sweden go for this as well to replace the old SK60?
Hopefully we’ll see them at Langley soon. I’ll see em eventually. 👀
Ohh that is so cute.... my daughter's world love it
This jet looks good
I want one. I'm putting my order in today!
Are fighter jet cockpits normally manual opened?
Many of them are. Counterbalance springs take the weight, and you don't have the complexity of pneumatic actuators (F-4) needing air pressure or electrical actuators failing and having to manually disconnect the canopy and raise it to get the pilot out, then remove the canopy to change the actuator (F-16).
That is one bad ass looking plane! Love it!
Looks like a F-18 had a forbidden relationship with a F-16, and this is the love child.
I'm glad it's easy on maintenance as it is a bit more pricey upfront than the T-38.
You mean like 1961 Money? Or 2023 Money? The T-38 was purchased 60 years ago.
That's Saab. The Gripen and land and take off from roads just about anywhere and they are serviced by mobile units with a crew of 4 and about a 15 minute turn-around time. Remarkable.
Do you have some small tidbit of information you'd like to display? It's well documented that the T-38 was $756,000 in 1961 constant dollars. Most calculators translate that to around $7-$8 million today. I'm sure you know the new trainer is coming off at about 3 times that.@@r.r.hughes9808
They forgot and missed that the Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star was Americas first jet trainer in 1948 not the T-37 or T-38 - and it served for 50 years
Nice looking aircraft
