T-7A Red Hawk program details
The T-7A Red Hawk is a next-generation trainer developed by Boeing in partnership with Saab to replace the aging Northrop T-38 Talon.
With a fully digital design from the start, the program has adopted modern manufacturing, simulation, and testing approaches to speed up development, reduce costs, and ensure the Red Hawk meets contemporary operational requirements.
A recent milestone shows that officers who are not test pilots have also flown the aircraft, indicating significant USAF confidence in the current state of the program.
