O Japão e os EUA vão desenvolver um novo avião de treino para substituir o T-4 japonês. Provavelmente será uma versão do T-7 produzida localmente.

Japan to develop next-generation jet trainer with U.S.
(24 de Março de 2024)
Citação de: alert5
Japan and the United States are in discussions to co-develop a new trainer aircraft for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF), according to Mainichi News. This would mark the first collaborative effort between the two nations for a trainer platform.

The new aircraft is intended to succeed the T-4, a subsonic jet trainer that has been in service since 1988. Concerns regarding the T-4’s suitability for training pilots on advanced aircraft like the F-35 and the upcoming international next-generation fighter jet (NGF) have spurred the development push. The NGF, a joint project between Japan, Britain, and Italy, is expected to enter service in 2035.

(...)

While the specific details of the co-developed trainer remain under discussion, the Boeing-Saab T-7 Red Hawk is emerging as a strong candidate. This supersonic jet trainer, recently selected by the U.S. Air Force as its next-generation trainer to replace the Northrop T-38C, boasts advanced features well-suited for preparing pilots for modern combat aircraft.

The T-7’s capabilities include a digital design that facilitates integration of future training technologies, a high-performance General Electric turbofan engine for realistic flight characteristics, and a tandem instructor-student seating configuration for optimal pilot instruction. Additionally, the aircraft’s existing U.S. Air Force production line could be leveraged to streamline joint production with Japan.

While the flight test program for the T-7 faces delays, the U.S. Air Force is expected to start buying seven aircraft in fiscal 2025 with the plan to eventually procure 346 aircraft.

The agreement, if reached, is expected to be formalized during the upcoming summit between Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and US President Joe Biden scheduled for April 10th in Washington D.C. This development comes on the heels of a December 2022 agreement for joint US-Japan research on AI for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) intended to support the NGF program. These collaborations highlight a growing emphasis on technological cooperation between the two allies in the face of a shifting geopolitical landscape.
