TF-5 “Agile Talon”Improved Aerodynamics/Flight Controls + Cockpit/Training Systems
TCA’s proprietary modification kit that transforms single-seat F-5 Fighters into dual-seat, high-performance Lead-In Fighter Trainers. After the modification is completed, the aircraft is given a new designation of TF-5 “Agile Talon” and is positioned to be the natural successor to the USAF T-38 “Talon” for the export market.
The TF-5 modification kit consists of four elements:
An aerodynamic modification that enhances flying qualities while reducing landing approach speed
An avionics modification that provides digital communication/navigation technology and modern controls and displays in the cockpit
A paradigm-shifting “virtual weapon system” airborne-embedded simulation technology that supports downloading of training from expensive fighters
An escape system modification that increases safety
Improved Aerodynamics/Flight Controls via:
Lower landing speed & increased maneuverability
Improved departure resistance & flying qualities
Increased structural life
Improved Cockpit & Training Systems via:
Modern Avionics and Man-Machine Interfaces
Radar removed and replaced with “Virtual Weapon Training System”
Zero-zero ejection seats
Increased visibility from rear cockpit
Removal of M39 Cannon

첫댓글 FA-50을 사가느냐 마느냐 가지고 기대치가 꽤 큰 나라였는데, 4세대 타이거를 구매한다니 파오공은 오늘도 공쳤는가 봅니다.
크피르 대체 물량이라도 기대해봐야 하는걸까요?
KF-21은 아직 완성도 안 된 기체라 다른 기체들과 대등하게 경쟁이 가능할 지도 의문이고, 갑자기 10여대 물량이 추가되면 한국군 납기가 지연되는 게 아닐까 걱정되기도 하네요..
@위종민 예산도 상황도 넉넉치 않은 나라인만큼 크피르 대체도 FA-50으로 할 수 있으려나 생각해본겁니다. KF-21은 아직 멀고 멀었겠죠..
