The T-1 Jayhawk is a twin-engine jet trainer from the US armaments manufacturer Raytheon , which is used by the US Air Force for the training of pilots for refueling and transport aircraft. As a second variant, the smaller T-400 was developed for the Japanese air self-defense forces .
history
The T-1 is mainly used in later phases of pilot training for transport and tanker aircraft. It is also used to train navigators in the US Air Force. The T-1 replaced the North American T-39 Sabreliner . The Jayhawk is the second aircraft type used by the US armed forces to be designated "T-1". The T-1 Sea Star was previously assigned this task identifier.
construction
The T-1 is a military version of the Raytheon Beechjet 400 . There is space in the cockpit for an instructor and two students. The aircraft is powered by two turbofan engines, which give the aircraft a cruising speed of Mach 0.78. In contrast to the commercial aircraft, the structure was reinforced for more landings, additional measures were taken against bird strikes and an additional tank was installed.
Most of the basic version aircraft were delivered between 1992 and 1997. The first machine was received at Reese Air Force Base in Texas in January 1992, and training on this version began in 1993.
