RAFTS: A T-38 Replacement for the 21st Century

Abstract

The Reconnaissance Attack Fighter Training System (RAFTS) is designed to bridge the performance and systems gap between the T-46A and the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF). This training system will replace the T-38 now used in undergraduate pilot training. The study addresses the probable training environment, technology, training requirements, syllabi, and embedded training systems in the late 1990's. The study concludes with a conceptual design of the T-38 aircraft replacement for the 21st century.
