Pengembangan

Program T/A-50 is the replacement for a variety of trainer and light attack aircraft. This includes the T-38 and F-5B in training and the CAS Cessna A-37B; in service with the South Korean Air Force.[butuh rujukan] The program was origially intended to develop an indigenous trainer aircraft capable of supersonic flight in order to train and prepare pilots for the KF-16s.[7] The T-50 makes South Korea 12th nation to produce a complete jet fighter aircraft.[8] Some of the South-Korean aircrafts include the propeller-driven KT-1 basic trainer produced by Samsung Aerospace (now part of KAI), and license-manufactured KF-16s. Most of the core systems and technology were provided by Lockheed Martin, however, and in general the T/A-50 is said to closely resemble the KF-16 configuration.[7]

The development of the aircraft was funded 13% by Lockheed Martin, 17% by Korea Aerospace Industries, and 70% by the government of South Korea.[9] KAI and Lockheed Martin are currently pursuing a joint marketing program for the T-50 variant internationally.

The mother program, code-named KTX-2, began in 1992,[3] but the Ministry of Finance and Economy suspended KTX-2 in 1995 due to financial matters.[10] 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.[butuh rujukan] The first flight of the T-50 took place in August 2002, and initial operational assessment from July 28 to August 14, 2003.Kesalahan pengutipan: Tag <ref> harus ditutup oleh </ref>

Design

The T-50 Golden Eagle design is mainly derived from the Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon,[11] 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,[3] 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.[9] 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).[12] The aircraft can carry up to two pilots, and the high-mounted canopy and the tandem seating allow the pilots superior visibility, vital to successful lock-on of enemy targets. The cockpit holds the On Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS).[12]

The altitude limit is 48,000 ft, and the airframe is designed to last 8,000 hours of service.[12] There are seven internal fuel tanks with capacity of 2,655 litres, five in the fuselage and two in the wings.[9] An additional 1,710 litres of fuel can be carried in the three external fuel tanks.[9]

T-50 Golden Eagle runs a single General Electric F404 turbofan engine with Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC). The engine consists of three-staged fans, seven axial stage arrangement, and an afterburner.[9] The aircraft can supercruise at the speed of Mach 1.05, and with maximum 78.7 kN (17,700 lbs) of thrust with the afterburner,[9] and has a maximum speed of Mach 1.4.[12][4]

Weapons

A 20 mm General Electric M61 Vulcan cannon[11] with 205 rounds of linkless linear feed can be mounted internally behind the cockpit.[9] An AIM-9 Sidewinder heat-seeking air-to-air missile can be attached at each of the wingtip rails, and more missiles can be carried on the underwing hardpoints.[9] Compatible air-to-surface weapons include the AGM-65 Maverick missile, LAU-3 and LAU-68 rocket launchers, CBU-58 and Mk-20 cluster bombs, and Mk-82, -83, and -84 general purpose bombs.[1] Three external fuel tanks can also be carried.[1]
