This November 27, Marty Kauchak, MS&T editor completed a brief, but wide-ranging, interview with Lt. Gen. Brian S. Robinson, Commander, Air Education and Training. The content from the interview follows.
L3Harris Technologies won a $91.5 million contract from Boeing to supply mission-management processors for the T-7A Red Hawk, the newest U.S. Air Force jet trainer in 60 years.
The final aft, or rear section, of the T-7A Red Hawk trainer aircraft for the United States Air Force arrived at Boeing from teammate Saab in Linköping, Sweden, signaling the final Engineering and Manufacturing Development
part delivery.
Boeing has unveiled the first T-7A Red Hawk advanced trainer jet to be delivered to the U.S. Air Force. The jet, one of 351 the U.S. Air Force plans to order, was unveiled prior to official delivery.
Saab has opened its new facility located in West Lafayette, Indiana. This purpose-built facility represents a major step in both Saab’s global expansion strategy and growth and investment in the U.S.
In one historic moment, the front fuselage of the first Boeing-Saab T-7A Red Hawk advanced trainer was joined with its aft section in less than 30 minutes.
