How Boeing’s T-7A Was Built In 3 Years & Became The Blueprint To End The F-35 Era

A closer look at why the T-7A points to both the enormous potential of advanced digital prototyping tools and their limits in the real world.

By 2030, the A-10 may be gone, the F-35 will be the most common fighter, and next-gen F-47s and CCAs will be entering service.

Production of the Super Hornet is expected to end in 2027, while production of the F-15EX is ramping up into the 2030s.

The Air Force is gearing up to introduce its first B-21 Raider in 2027 and boost production through the late 2020s and into the 2030s.

The F-4 Phantom II was noted for being a ‘brick’ that had the sheer thrust that allowed it to fly into combat and win.

While the cost per flight hour is not yet disclosed (or known) the Raider is to be more affordable to operate than the Spirit.

Half a century of aviation history.

Why B-21 Raider pilots will likely be paid above average due to seniority, but not because of the aircraft they are flying.

The need for resilience, a wider ISR portfolio, and immature space-based capabilities mean the RQ-4 will continue to fly to 2033.
