Tässä amerikkalainen seuraava kevythävittäjä, voisi hyvinkin olla F-5:n perillinen - aivan kuin F-5 oli T-38:n jälkeläinen. Löytyypä yhteys Gripeniinkin SAAB:n osan kautta.

“You could imagine a version of the airframe that could be equipped as a light fighter. You can imagine a version that is equipped as an adversary air-training platform,” he told reporters during a roundtable.

A new study for the US Air Force says the key to expanding its fleet of fighter aircraft could lay in developing the new Boeing/Saab T-X trainer as a low-cost, lightweight, fighter.

The corporation’s senior principal systems engineer David Gerber says that less-demanding missions such as homeland defense should not soak up precious hours for advanced fourth- and fifth-generation fighters, saying that this kind of role could easily be assumed by a developed variant of the T-X.

No tiedettiinkö 2014 miten USAF:n trainerihankinnoissa käy? Pieni nekrofilia vain piristää ihmistä, ei siitä pidä pahastua.
