US Air Force Testing Its Newest Boeing Supersonic Tiny Jet 

Awesome! This Supersonic Tiny Jet has take off and landing power. I fancy the take-and-go landing strategy!

Real bravery there, flying a brand new Boeing these days takes it. lol

I’m in awe of the people who can fly and master these aircraft. Staying ahead of it is a super skill set.

When an F-5 and an F-18 love each other VERY much...

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 !

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.

Quick correction - the F-22 is not a 4th Gen. fighter, but a 5th Gen. fighter jet.

What a beautiful plane!

This is why the USAF is one of the best air forces in the world! Maintainers are the bomb!😊

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.

If it looks right, it is right and this plane is gorgeous!

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!

Look at the size of those rear control surfaces .. that thing has some maneuvering potential.

A Miata of aircraft. Simply looks like fun to fly.

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.

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!

What a gorgeous wee plane!

looks like the love child of a union between an F18 and a Folland Gnat.

I always thought the T38 design is ageless and so amazing ! It looks very sleek. It looks very modern to me

thats a good looking trainer jet.

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.

Can't wait to see these flying at Vance

Two US Navy aviators upsize the Struts , a tail hook , hold the fries and try her on the Flight deck.

I love this new multirole Jet's shape..!!

A mini-Hornet!!! I want one!

Looks like a marriage of the BAE Hawk and the NG Hornet. Cool!

Sweet looking bird.

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.

Due to the issue with wing rock, I learned that Boeing had to restrict its high angle-of-attack maneuverability on T-7.

Are fighter jet cockpits normally manual opened?

Very tidy looking plane so probably very good.

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.

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,

Single turbine and neat looking from front end-great to see SAAB’s name in the mix-looks like a superb new trainer :-)

You should have added the ATC audio for this flight.

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.

Beautiful bird.

A single engine generates *three times the power* of the TwinJet T-38! WOW! 🚀

Looking sharp.

I hope they finish the project, and make the light fighter variant

wow, if the F-16 and F-15 had a child together it would look a lot like this new trainer jet.

This bird has conventional wing design though, it's intakes are inspired by Gripen's.

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.

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 is one good looking little plane.

Thanks, Daily Aviation.

Nice; STING like a bee, but FLY like a Humming Bird.

I was a USAF crew chief on the T-38. They said this jet is 10 times LESS maintenance required? Impossible.

It's cute! Looks like a bird 🙂

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.

Definitely a good trainer mach 1.05 top speed, range of 900 miles. I wonder if it have any hard points for combat training.

A trainer that could actually fight awsome

Looks like a F-18 had a forbidden relationship with a F-16, and this is the love child.

Glad to see more BD-10 kits being assembled. 😉

Let us not forget the A-10 x 3

Man, I should have become a plane-washer. That job seems chill AF.

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!

Very cool information, thanks!

I want one. I'm putting my order in today!

It'll never be as beautiful as the T-38 IMO. . . . .

These are beautiful steerable rockets.

Nice. Less costly over time I'd bet, with advantages of efficiency aimed F-16 type, maintenance.

8:00 that's the first time I've heard any source, let alone the USAF, saying the F-22 is considered a fourth generation fighter. The F-16 and the Mig-29 are fourth generation. I really thought the F-22 was supposed be a generational leap in stealth and other technologies.

Such a cool plane

I hope someday they allow a civilianized version of this craft to exist. It looks too beautiful to be kept as a military plane.

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.

cutest looking one too 😍

The most advanced safety feature of this Boeing is when you need to emergency eject, the cockpit capsule will have blown off already

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.

The T-7 Urbanyouth is going to be an important airplane.

Looks very much like a twin tail BAE T-45. The Navy/Marines have been flying the T-45 for more than a decade. Good to see the AF is finally catching up! 😊 The T-38 is a 1970's ride. Great bird, but dated.

Superb aircraft i love it.

Add a couple of M39s and you've got a 21st century Freedom Fighter.

What a cool little Jet!!! Great footage!!

I'm glad it's easy on maintenance as it is a bit more pricey upfront than the T-38.

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....

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

Some real cool footage!

The top speed of Mach 1.05 has me stumped. Turkey and several other countries have made two-seat trainers based on the F404 engine, and they all reach Mach 1.3 to 1.6.

Usually the Air Force rejects Boeing's fighter aircraft prototypes but, this jet looks like a small trainer.

Great! Fantástico pelo material adicional.

Can't wait to see these in NASA, Aggressor and Thunderbirds paint schemes.

I would like to see the US build some Gripen too, for use as aggressors in training. Could replace the F-5 and old variant F-16 used by the US Navy for that role.

curious if Sweden would consider buying a batch to replace the now retired Saab 105s as school planes. Ik they plan on replacing them with turboprops but does that provide with jet experience?

The only Boeing the doors can’t fall off of…. Because it has no doors!

Thanks for filtering the wind noise.

Really good looking plane

THANK GOD there's a POC flying.

The old T-38 always looked mega-cool and has been an awesome jet. But it was not without its problems. Many of them crashed in the landing pattern because of a crazy fast descent rate. Also, 1959 technology is not nearly as reliable as today's. This new jet will bring agility and reliability to the US Air Force's advanced supersonic jet training. It also has a modern fighter cockpit that will make transitioning to the F-35 and beyond much easier. I am also very glad to see that Boeing can bring an aircraft online relatively quickly and on budget these days. I was beginning to think they had forgotten how.

The jet is like a mut a t-38 f-16 and f-18 all in one

Very beautiful…. I would love to fly it

Muy lindo avion , moderno, maniobrable, un motor , menos costos de vuelo. Ideal para los paises que no eatan en la carrera armamentista

It closely resembles the russian Yak-130 in form, but has an advantage in the form of a twin-tailed empennage.

Ooooh. The Red Arrows would like this I think.

Looked familiar..we've got one down here at Eglin in the chiller right now! (McKinley Climatic Lab)

Hopefully we’ll see them at Langley soon. I’ll see em eventually. 👀

Looks like an F18 and an F16 had a tiny jet offspring

Test Gripen E, it is amazing 👍🏻
