Saab (the maker of JAS 39 Gripen) is responsible for development and production of the fully installed rear fuselage for the T-7A. The seven rear fuselages manufactured at Saab in Linköping are included in the EMD test aircraft. Saab has opened a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in West Lafayette, Indiana for series-produced aircraft that will be used for pilot training by the USAF.

Especially the flap tracks and cove lip door rollers. Used to fill a cloth parts bag with lube to do all the cables on the rear spar and MLG area. Would just run in over the cables. If you felt a snag you looked for broken strands in the cable.

If the Red Hawk had a single vertical stabilizer, no afterburner nozzle, and the nose gear was moved forward it would look like the SIAI Marchetti S.211, an Italian trainer that was introduced in 1984. Initial design tests for the S.211 were done using Boeing's wind tunnel, so Boeing engineers had access to the information when designing the Red Hawk. The S.211 is a subsonic aircraft. As a former AF flight instructor and flight examiner I can truthfully say that student pilots in the Undergraduate Pilot Training program were only allowed to experience supersonic flight on one training mission in the T-38 Talon. The rest of the training was done at subsonic speeds which means the T-38's supersonic speed was overkill for training purposes and the cost of the Talon compared to the S.211 was an unnecessary expense for taxpayers. This video is supposedly about the Red Hawk jet; however, after the 4:40 point on the timeline the video is about other aircraft, not the T-7A.
