Does the T-50 have some competition now?
I just heard about a new start-up aircraft company based in the US producing an advanced jet trainer as well. Its their first aircraft, but they say it can do more than the T-50 and is slotted to be $15M, making that $5-$7 million cheaper than the T-50 too. Prototype roll-out scheduled for 2014.
Anyone else heard this? You think they can make the competition to replace the T-38 and othe trainers around the world???
It will be interesting for sure if they pull it off.
