The T-100 Integrated Training System (ITS) is the world’s most
modern, advanced, and comprehensive 4th & 5th generation flying
training system. The T-100 ITS builds upon the proven technology,
systems and the international success of Alenia Aermacchi’s M-346
advanced jet trainer system. In production now for the Italian Air
Force, it is the only 4th & 5th generation advanced jet trainer
system to have won an open international competition. The M-346 is
participating in advanced jet trainer competitions on four continents.
The T-100 ITS is the ideal system to replace the U.S. Air Force’s
current fleet of aging T-38 advanced jet trainers. Incorporating state
of the art U.S. technology, the T-100 ITS is READY NOW to provide the U.S. Air Force with the capability it needs today to meet the training requirements of tomorrow.
Ah, leave it to the Italians to not only build a good plane, but a pretty one too.
ReplyDeleteFunny, if it does win, both the US and Russia would operate fairly similar training planes...
I don't know much about this requirement, but wouldn't it make sense to use a similar/the same plane as the USN and standardise on the BAE Hawk?
ReplyDeleteMarcase, sorry but I disagree with you on the pretty thing, in my eyes it is not that beautiful. It might be a good trainer with all the screens, pylons ant so to make it a modern trainer, but no, not beutiful.
