'''T-50 Golden Eagle''' adalah pesawat latih supersonik buatan Amerika-Korea. Dikembangkan oleh [[Korean Aerospace Industries]] dengan bantuan [[Lockheed Martin]]. <ref name="koreatimes">[http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/nation/200701/kt2007010720311111990.htm Korea, US to confer on surveillance plan sales]</ref> Program ini juga melahirkan A-50, atau '''T-50 LIFT''', sebagai varian serang ringan<ref name="Flug Revue"/>.
Walaupun militer Amerika Serikat tidak ada rencana untuk membeli pesawat ini , tapi penamaan militer amerika secara resmi diminta untuk pesawat ini guna menghindari konflik penamaan dikemudian hari.<ref>[http://www.designation-systems.net/usmilav/412015-L(addendum).html#_Note_T50A Designation-Systems.Net MDS Designators]</ref>
== Pengembangan ==
Program T/A-50 dimaksudkan sebagai pengganti dari berbagai pesawat latih dan serang ringan. Ini termasuk [[T-38 Talon|T-38]] dan [[Northrop F-5|F-5B]] untuk pelatihan dan Cessna [[Cessna T-37|A-37B]][[Close Air Support]]; yang dioperasikan [[AU Republik Korea]].{{Fact|date=March 2007}} Program ini pada awalnya dimaksudkan untuk mengembangkan pesawat latih secara mandiri yang mampu mencapai kecepatan supersonik untuk melatih dan mempersiapkan pilot bagi pesawat KF-16 ([[F-16]] versi korea).<ref name="defensedaily">[http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/2005/04/south-korea-to-show-off-t50-trainer/index.php Defense Industry Daily 04/05 article on T-50]</ref> T-50 mmembuat Korea Selatan menjadi negara ke-12 yang mampu memproduksi sebuah pesawat tempur jet yang utuh.<ref name="empas">[http://news.empas.com/show.tsp/cp_kt/20021030n04111/?kw=wingspan%20%3Cb%3E%26%3C%2Fb%3E Empas News article]</ref> Beberapa produk korea lainnya adalah [[KT-1]] produk Samsung Aerospace (sekarang bagian dari [[KAI]]), dan produk lisensi [[F-16|KF-16]]. Sebagian besar sistem utama dan teknologinya disediakan oleh Lockheed Martin, secara umum bisa disebut T/A-50 mempunyai konfigurasi yang mirip dengan KF-16.<ref name="defensedaily"/>
Pengembangan pasawat ini 13% dibiayai oleh Lockheed Martin, 17% oleh Korea Aerospace Industries, dan 70% oleh pemerintah Korea Selatan.<ref name="airforce technology">[http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/t-50/ Airforce Technology article]</ref> KAI dan Lockheed Martin saat ini melakukan program kerjasama untuk memasarkan T-50 untuk pasar internasional.
Program induknya, dengan nama kode KTX-2, dimulai pada 1992,<ref name="Aeroflight"/> tapi Departemen Keuangan dan Ekonomi menunda program KTX-2 pada 1995 karena alasan finansial.<ref name="global2">[http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/rok/ktx-2.htm Global Security article on KTX-2 program]</ref> with the initial design of the aircraft, in [[1999]]. It was renamed ''T-50 Golden Eagle'' in February [[2000]], with the final assembly of the first T-50 taking place between [[15 January]], [[2001]].{{Fact|date=March 2007}} Penerbangan pertama T-50 terjadi pada Agustus [[2002]], dan pengujian tugas operasional pertama mulai [[Juli 28]] sampai [[14 Agustus]], [[2003]].<ref name="Flug Revue"> </ref> Angkatan Udara Korsel menandatangani kontrak produksi untuk 25 T-50 pada Desember [[2003]], dan pengiriman dijadwalkan pada [[2005]] sampai [[2009]].<ref name="airforce technology"/></ref>
varian lain dari T-50 Golden Eagle termasuk pesawat serang ringan A-50, dan pesawat yang lebih canggih FA-50. The A-50 variant is an armed version of the T-50 as a stable platform for both free-fall and precision-guided weapons. FA-50 is an A-50 modified with an [[AESA]] radar and a tactical datalink which are not yet specified.{{Fact|date=March 2007}} As part of the [[A-37]] retirement-out program to be completed by 2015, sixty A-50's will be in service for the South Korean air force by 2011.<ref name="naver">[http://news.naver.com/news/read.php?mode=LOD&office_id=023&article_id=0000225486&secion_id=001&menu_id=001 국산 공격기‘A-50’ 2011년 실전 배치 - Naver News]</ref>
<!-- ==Desain==
The T-50 Golden Eagle design is mainly derived from the [[Lockheed Martin]] [[F-16 Fighting Falcon]],<ref name="vector">[http://www.vectorsite.net/avf16_4.html VectorSite: F-16 Derivatives: Ching Kuo / F-2 / Golden Eagle]</ref> and they are similar in their economic use of a single engine, speed, size, cost, and the range of weapons. The program initially focused on developing trainer jets for the F-16 pilots,<ref name="Aeroflight"/> since many air forces around the world, including the [[Republic of Korea Air Force]], use the F-16 as main constituents of their fighter population.
The T-50 is equipped with a [[Honeywell]] H-764G embedded global positioning/[[inertial navigation system]] and HG9550 [[radar altimeter]].<ref name="airforce technology" /> The A-50 variant uses [[APG-67]] radar from Lockheed Martin. The aircraft is the first trainer to feature the digital [[fly-by-wire]] control interface (triple redundant).<ref name="Global">[http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/rok/t-50.htm Global Security review]</ref> The aircraft can carry up to two pilots, and the high-mounted [[canopy (aircraft)|canopy]] and the tandem seating allow the pilots superior visibility, vital to successful [[lock (weapons guidance)|lock-on]] of enemy targets. The cockpit holds the [[On Board Oxygen Generating System]] (OBOGS).<ref name="Global"/>
The altitude limit is 48,000 [[foot (unit of length)|ft]], and the airframe is designed to last 8,000 hours of service.<ref name="Global"/> There are seven internal fuel tanks with capacity of 2,655 litres, five in the fuselage and two in the wings.<ref name="airforce technology"/> An additional 1,710 litres of fuel can be carried in the three external fuel tanks.<ref name="airforce technology"/>
T-50 Golden Eagle runs a single [[General Electric]] [[General Electric F404/F414|F404]] [[turbofan]] engine with [[FADEC|Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC)]]. The engine consists of three-staged fans, seven axial stage arrangement, and an [[afterburner]].<ref name="airforce technology"/> The aircraft can [[supercruise]] at the speed of [[Mach number|Mach]] 1.05, and with maximum 78.7 [[Newton|kN]] (17,700 [[Pound (mass)|lbs]]) of thrust with the [[afterburner]],<ref name="airforce technology"/> and has a maximum speed of Mach 1.4.<ref name="Global"/><ref name="AIN"/> -->
== Persenjataan ==
[[Kanon]] 20 mm [[General Electric]] [[M61 Vulcan]] <ref name="vector"/> dengan 205 peluru diumpankan linear tanpa sambungan (linkless linear feed) yang bisa dipasang internal tepat di belakang [[kokpit]].<ref name="airforce technology"/> Sebuah rudal udara keudara pencari panas [[AIM-9 Sidewinder]] bisa dipasangkan pada setiap rel di ujung sayap, dan rudal-rudal yang lain bisa dipasang di cantelan bawah sayap.<ref name="airforce technology"/> Senjata udara ke darat yang kompatibel diantaranya adalah rudal [[AGM-65 Maverick]], [[peluncur roket]] LAU-3 dan LAU-68 , [[bom kluster]] CBU-58 and Mk-20, dan [[bom multiguna]] Mk-82, Mk-83, dan Mk-84 .<ref name="Flug Revue"/> Tiga tangki bahan bakar minyak eksternal bisa juga dipasang dipesawat ini.<ref name="Flug Revue"/>
