- For 48 seconds, flying at 20,000 feet, we purposely turned off the engine of our #T7A test aircraft to test its ability to restart mid-flight. The jet restarted flawlessly. Hear from the pilots who flew this vital test of the future U.S. Air Force advanced trainer.

I took my Ford Explorer out on the freeway, got my speed up to 110 mph and then shut the engine off! I'm not sure if it was the engine, the automatic transmission, or maybe its just that my Explorer wasn't designed like the T-7. But things didn't go smoothly.
Garth Murray ROFL 😆🤣🤣🤣
110 mph and you shut it down?
"First time on bath salts dear?"🤣
Power steering oops, power brakes oops this was not a good idea. It handled just like 48 Mack truck.😱
@@aaronlopez3585 The steering will also lock, at least in vehicles I have driven.
@@aaronlopez3585 you forgot the self locking steering wheel. O-ya lollollol
An A-4 Skyhawk for a chase plane?!
AMAZING
Giant Gaming Viper and Jester approve
It's just like a grampa when he takes his kid to walk with a brand new bicycle.
There are several 3rd party contractors that fly a-4’s, and other similar aircraft for this kind of work, and aggressor training. Check out a company called Draken.
Giant Gaming looks like a T-45 goosehawk
Good performance and cheap to operate. Scooters are good a/c.
"Hello? Is that the I.T dept.?"
"Yes it is, how may I help you?"
"My T-7 has a glitch"
"Have you tried turning your T-7 off and then on?"
"Oh yeah, it works now."
Beautiful aircraft to train in. Those pilots are so lucky they get to look forward to flying so many awesome aircraft
I’m stationed at Scott AFB, IL, and have been seeing them fly over the last week or so. Beautiful trainer, can’t wait for it to be fielded.
I figured they were doing this near Scott to use that runway to land on if needed. Is that little airport still doing any business, that you share runways with?
@@hisaddle The Mid America airport was still running last I saw. I PCS’d to Hurlburt Field shortly after this comment, ha.
the T-7 is kinda like F-16 and F-18 had a baby
Excellent dezine & cutting edge shape .
calm down it is just a trainer, nothing special
And a pretty good looking baby at that
@Ricky Kurniawan,
It doesn't share anything with F-16, it's more like T-38 Talon and F-18 had a baby. I guess it having a single engine made you think of F-16.
F-16 is made by a different company and has different avionics, different propulsion configuration, technology and slightly different controls under the hood.
Well technically, the T-7 utilizes the General Electric F404-GE-103 engine which is in the same F404 family of afterburning turbofan in which the F/A-18C/D Hornet uses.
Caught a glimpse of the new T-7 at the Spirit of St. Louis Airshow where it flawlessly preformed a few highs speed passes. I have no doubt that it will excel once it enters production
Aircraft performance for safety is assessed when it is slow and dirty, not fast and clean.
Wow, a Scooter for a chase plane?
Steve Habeger a good MacDonnell
I did a triple take :)
I did a double take as well! Love the Scooter! Semper Fi.
The chase plane was an A-4? I had no idea any of those were still around.
All A-4s in the US are civilian owned.
Boeing still use T-33s for chase!
A-4s are still used by the US civilian Draken International and AeroGroup with a total of 21 , and the Brazilian Navy and Argentine Air Force
They are still around in the US and can be used specifically for this purpose. Even military aircraft are recycled and put to use after retirement. The ones you see in the desert are airframe with extremely high flight hours and cycles. Manufacturers can use the aircraft over again especially a small agile aircraft like the A-4 as a airborne spotter/safety observer. All the weapons systems are removed and pretty much the military part of it is gone. Can be used by air enthusiast groups. The WW2 aircraft that you see flying at modern air shows are a perfect example. Even the vintage aircraft on static display at air shows had to be flown from somewhere to the show right?
13partagas chase planes or target aircraft are usually designated “Q”. F-4s used for target practice, or chase are known.
It’s 60% Saab build. Give credit where credit is due 💪🏽🇸🇪
Now... even fighterjets have start n stop system ...
Boeing makes beautiful aircraft. What a great company to work for.
I love seeing advancement like this
That A-4 chase plane is probably older than both test pilots. Love that they still fly them.
The very last A-4M came off the assembly line and was delivered to the Marine Corps in February of 1979. That will be 42 years ago in February, 2021.
1:00 safety chase plane? What are they going to do besides being witnesses
They would relay data real-time to the telemetry room or plane if something like the radar or comms failed
@OPSAT under the car, never...
Had my volume up full (listening to music before) when clip started, almost fell off my chair with the fright 🤣👍
When does the civil version come out?
Will they make one?
tator05 I’m sure for the low price of 50 some odd million they’d make one on the fringe of legal civil duty that wouldn’t be commercially registrable.
i doubt it, they’ll make tons of money, and won’t go through the hassle of selling a civilian version
Gripen have had NO engine failure ever!
Legacy lives on in the T7 🇸🇪
Watching the A-4 reminds me of watching a 1969 Boss Mustang .....cruising around looking for a race.
Cool plane! I hope Serbia buys this
@Pavan Kumar Serbia has a long history of producing own military aircraft. However, it is a *very* expensive business and few contemporary states/manufacturers are still capable of producing this type of modern sophisticated military aircraft. Those are usually regional powers and superpowers, and Serbia is not really at that level. Serbia already stated its intention to upgrade its aged and dwindling fleet - so, in my opinion, buying T-7As would be a great solution.
*I've turned off captions*
the avionics on this look so good it can be a fighter aircraft for some small third world army! If I was a PMC I would definitely buy it for both training and battlefield operations!
@Joshua N. Ajang you may look up a video of Portuguese mercenary fighter jet pilots captured by Libyan militias. it proves that PMCs in hot zones do operate small air forces heavily regulated but active nonetheless. and yes indeed PMCs are really just mercenaries despite how the heavy legal verbiage would make you believe otherwise.
@Tejas Manake also is it only the budget that determines if they are a third world country? China is still third world despite being second economy, and Monaco ranks 151 out of 196 in gdp is Monaco a third world country?
being third world country is more a description of how its average citizen behaves than its budget. i.e you can be a poor country and have your citizens polish your reputation!
@Joshua N. Ajang Outer Haven.
@Joshua N. Ajang precisely my point, budget isnt the criterion for developped or not developped countries.
@Joshua N. Ajang some already manufacture their own support equipments (picatini rails, magazines and so on)
I'd like to see this turned into some sort of close ground support fighter. Maybe just a couple of rocket pods would do.
It's a great looking plane. Very light and agile.
When an experienced US air force pilot says his blood pressure went up you know it's a scary situation to be in
HeavyLikesSandwich - only scary to his job if he blows it badly. They were within gliding distance of a long runway in good weather with a chase plane. Oh, and ejection seat. Super low risk. Many single engine planes have been deadsticked to landing on purpose.
I thought it was called Boeing/Saab T-7.
I love that the chase lace is the trusty A-4 Skyhawks. Glad they’re still flying.
They still not done with this new trainer. The award is already given for it to be built.
Well it's just proofing. This are not the factors you buy they are just considered as some thing that should just work.
Same for gripen in brazin and Sweden. Why do tests by the company and then again by the individual airforce. Just costs alot of money.
And in this case the aft is from Saab and its not really new tech. This it the stuff they always have built.
Todays air world is to slow to wait for some thing to be finaly developed before accuiring. Then you will just have to do an update first thing. Companys need to work way closer with the involved airforces. Not like F35 and F18 F26 as it currently is. Can not take 3-5 years between updates
T-7 you're gorgeous! 🇺🇸❤️
Cool looking trainer!
Gee seems like a big deal.
Glider pilots: shaking their heads.
Cessna pilots: we do that on a flight test.
Ultralight pilots: second nature.
Not a big deal but needs to be tested regardless. First of all, this was more to test the airplane and not the pilots. Secondly this airplane is designed to go supersonic, to do aggressive aerobatics and pull G's just like "real" fighter jets as well as operate in all weather and highly variable altitude- and speed-ranges. None of which "Gliders", "Cessnas" and "Ultralights" are even remotely capable of.
Well i am bot sure with this one but some aircrafts today are fly by wire and with computors that balance it. So not so easy to glide as one might think.
Love the Skyhawk chaseplane! Those are some beautiful birds!
I would love to see a attack version of this.
Yeah the T-7 is cool and all but did you see the A-4 chase plane? That was the highlight of the video for me.
That A-4 tho. Stole the show!
Thank you for sharing-Awesome!🇺🇸
This airplane AMAZINGLY resembles the civilian designed and built 'BD-10' designed and marketed by the Jim Bede aircraft company. CURIOUS!
Actually the Fuselage + Cockpit was designed by Sweden's Saab-Group, the rest by Boeing. Really nice bird though.
Boeing should make F-7A Gray Hawk, as a Light Combat Fighter version of T-7A Trainer for Exports!
What do you folks think?
blue280485 well actually, the F-7 name is taken by Chinese people. We have Chengdu F-7s which are the export licensed variant of the Russian MiG-21 made by China. These are 100X superior than the original MiG-21s. Anyway, what i want to say is that when we search F-7, it shows up, if USA makes the same aircraft with the same name it might get confusing to some. Well, i think we could buy some of these T-7s for our Advanced Flight Training squadron at BAF. :)
A beautiful airplane.
Amazing how often Boeing seem to forget that the T7 is a collaboration with Swedish SAAB.
It's a typical American behavior....
I didn't know that! Great SAAB!
@@mmpdg 60% of it is made by Saab...
WOW - American ingenuity at It's BEST !!
Welcome home.
Классный и красивый самолёт😉😎👍 я бы на таком полетал, отлично на нём тренироваться.
Very cool! That had to be intense.
Pilot : "I am happy it worked as expected ! Now excuse me, I have to change my wet pants."
Very interesting to see they used and old old Douglas as a chase plane!!!
When is the single seat attack variant/export fighter coming out
Not sure I quite understand this. If you are procedurally shutting down an engine in an emergency, it’s not likely you will want to restart it. I guess if the engine fails unexpectedly will it restart?? You never can tell with news reports. They can’t seems to get it right half the time.
Engines can fail midair for a variety of reasons but still be operational, it's crucial to be able to restart them mid flight. On some aircraft like the Saab AJS-37 Viggen, a compressor stall could choke the engine. The engine would be functional but simply not running, necessitating a mid air restart. Similarly, the fire suppression systems on some aircraft shut down the engine, which needs to be restarted after.
Spain need it. We must change the old C101. How much is the price?
They don’t even mention this was an APU test. The second engine on board is built by Pratt & Whitney.
So what's the restart time from engine off to engine back unline?
15sec.
Trainer? It looks good for battle in large numbers.
Still MAC!! After all these years!!
I wonder if they'll make a carrier variant to replace the T-45.
Why replace the T-45?
very very beautiful t-7A
Never mind the T-X it's nice and all but I was looking at the venerable chase plane, the A-4 nice!
That's one badass trainer.
The aircraft,looks like top top must;but what is the porpoise to cut the engine? Perhaps is a kind of saving fuel during a mission,or a kind of sistem to remain *silent as a tiger* during a mission,anyway the aircraft looks wonderful.
Cool light attack and trainer aircraft!
Great job. Boeing, it’s time to climb back to the top.
And ya got a little WINK from Bob Hoover.
MCAS IS VERY USEFUL IN SUCH SITUATIONS I SAY
Looks like the jet from GTAV!
Ok, but why is the canopy so wide?!? It’s like a whole office inside there.
Future Thunderbird mount?
Baby F-18 omg too cuuuuuuuute!
Good show.
Was Scott AFB your recovery airport?
Several people have mentioned the A-4 chase plane. Check out a company called Draken. They are a 3rd party contractor...
What is the base price per unit?, will you release a civil version also?
It looks really similar to the Korean Kai T50.
gorgeous trainer
Did i just saw an A4?
Is this in DCS yet? Why the heck not? Sheesh.
With so many computers involved u just know they'd have to turn it off and back on again!
@@user-lp3cf5yn5b It is jointly developed by Boeing and Swedish company SAAB. Boeing probably lost capability independently develop new plane from a scratch
Would make a good light fighter too
How can I fine any T-7 Training Plane details?
You can find more information about the T-7A at bit.ly/32MV87u.
Beautiful
BOEING! Keep selling yourselves! Keep it up! There’s a lot of reasons to focus on the positive. A lot of nefarious criticism being wielded against you. It’s a matter of national security. And Come HOME too! 👍
What name of plane following?
A-4 Skyhawk
Boeing SAAB T-7A!!!
🎅
shut it down during an emergency? what does that mean?
lucian compressor stall, flame out, foreign object ingestion, the list goes own for such reasons.
Depends on the plane but sometimes even just an unusual maneuver can starve the engine of fuel and cause a failure. The mig21 I fly in dcs world shuts down after like 2 seconds of negative g's so I have to restart a lot lol
Dear Boeing Team. I hope you should prepare for conducting a "Landing" after Switching Off the T-7 Engine, simulation for a critical working condition that a real failure Engine would offer our Pilots should choose the right choice Landing the Aircraft T-7 without any bad Thrilling, no need a help from their Parachutes in good enough working environment of Wind and Temperature. Is it ok for Boeing? Please kindly feel free to let me know. Thank you. With best regards. Tony.
I mean my idea is for a real good Landing Testing like Boeing did simulate it by using their Simulation System, as reported in this Video. We are looking for the Landing Test, Boeing. Come on...
Si le gana al f35 mis respetos para el T7
Es de Training, no combate
@@SCE-ce9mh a no sabia
Beautiful plane
Cool plane ✈️
Why is it that graphics on all of these simulations are so bad. Seriously? In our day and age you can make them almost photorealistic.
Why it doesn't have twin engine as t38, the precedessor?!?
There is no need for two engines.
Please make a weaponized version. Many nations would buy these for sure.
True, but the bureaucracy known as the D.O.D. would have to approve; so that will take 15 years.
You know, the last few new planes that have replaced older planes have been really terrible, but this one seems like its a worthy replacement for the T-38
RedJay Pictures it’s because it’s 60% Saab 💪🏽🇸🇪
An armed version of this jet will be a great option as a LIFT (Lead-in-fighter trainer) or strike aircraft for our RNZAF.
It will a big step in rebuilding our air combat fleet.
Awesome aircraft!!
Comments: ZOMFGTF!! DID YOU SEE THE A-4 CHASE PLANE!?!?!??!
I know because it was my reaction lol
Since when did boieng make milliatary jets
This thing is almost as big as a f18.....
Did this in a helicopter during a demo flight. i.e. The instructor pilot switched the engine off mid air to demonstrate an autorotation.
You mean he just shut the throttle to idle.
Make a private jet option of this plane.
Isn't this a co-development with SAAB?
It is.
And saab is currently setting up a manufacturing facility in the US to manufacture parts of the T-7
@@Mattebubben IMHO we also need to buy some of SAABs Sterling engine powered submarines for our Coast Guard + spec OPS Navy operations. They''re virtually undetectable and cost about $125 Million each.
Power off stalls next. lol
They should have had Bob Hoover to fly it.
Right next to it…….. Skyhawk!!
