T-7A Red Hawk jet’s aft airframe section
Saab said today it shipped the first T-7A Red Hawk
jet’s aft airframe section to its partner Boeing.
This 15 April 2021 shipment is from Saab’s
Linköping site in Sweden to Boeing in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. On completion
of the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) production phase, Saab’s
brand new facility in West Lafayette, Indiana, will undertake Saab’s production
of the aft sections for the T-7A program.
The aft fuselage was designed and built by Saab,
under the T-7A partnership with Boeing. Upon arrival in St Louis, the Saab aft
section will be spliced to the forward fuselage, prior to installation of the
wings, fins and tail assembly to become a complete static test airframe. This
airframe will be used for structural testing on the ground during the EMD phase
of the program.
The T-7A Red Hawk is an all-new advanced pilot
training system designed for the U.S. Air Force to train the next generation of
combat pilots for decades to come. The aircraft has benefited from Saab and
Boeing’s “breaking the norm” approach to military aircraft design, engineering
and production, which saw the preceding T-X aircraft go from concept to first
flight in just 36 months.
