The T-7A Red Hawk is an all new supersonic, two-seat, single engine, training aircraft developed for the United States Air Force by primary contractors Boeing and Saab Aerospace. When it enters service in the late 2020s, the T-7A will replace the venerable but aging Northrop T-38 Talon, in service with the USAF since the early 1960s. The Red Hawk will be part of an entirely new training system that includes interconnected live and ground simulator-based training to prepare pilots who will fly current and future 5th and 6th generation aircraft for the USAF. The T-7's design allows for future missions to be added, such as aggressor and light attack/fighter roles. In the training environment, it has been specifically designed for sustained high-G and high-angle-of-attack maneuvers and night operations, with an emphasis on being easily maintained. The aircraft is equipped with the GE F404 afterburning turbofan engine.

MODEL FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES Developed for MSFS 2020, fully compatible with MSFS 2024. The real T-7A is still in initial engineering and manufacturing development testing by the USAF and detailed technical data about the aircraft is limited. We’ve done our best, utilizing publicly available images, videos, graphics, simulator footage, USAF statements, pilots and engineers, to replicate the T-7A. In spite of the limited information about the real-world aircraft, we've rendered a highly capable and entertaining, and very realistic looking and feeling model of the T-7A Red Hawk that will give you many hours of flying enjoyment.
