T-X (T-7A Red Hawk First Flight)
Boeing-Saab · USA/Sweden
Designed from the ground up to prepare pilots for 5th-gen fighters, the T-7A uses a single GE F404 engine and a twin-tail design to mimic the handling of an F-22 or F-35. Its 2016 flight proved that digital "breaking the mold" design could drastically shorten aircraft development cycles.
