Saab (Saab AB) has shipped its third aft airframe section for use in the T-7A Red Hawk flight test program for the United States Air Force. The shipment on September 10, 2021 was from Saab’s Linköping site in Sweden to Boeing, in St. Louis, Missouri, USA and arrived there a few days later. The production and shipment of this aft airframe section is the latest milestone in Saab’s contribution to the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase of the T-7A Red Hawk trainer for the United States Air Force. Saab’s new facility in West Lafayette On completion of the EMD phase, Saab’s brand new facility in West Lafayette, Indiana, USA will undertake Saab’s production of the aft airframe sections for the T-7A program. “This delivery shows we are committed to our plan and the solid progress achieved towards completing our EMD schedule. This airframe will be part of the first T-7A to fly and is another step towards the start of production in our brand new state-of-the-art facility in West Lafayette, Indiana,” said Jonas Hjelm, Senior Vice President and Head of Saab business area – Aeronautics at Saab. EMD’s flight test program Upon arrival at Boeing, in St. Louis, Saab’s aft section was joined perfectly with the front fuselage, in less than 30 minutes Boeing has spliced together Saab’s aft section with the front section. This is followed by the assembly of the wings, fins, and tail, to become a complete test aircraft for use in the EMD’s flight test program. The aft section with installed subsystems - hydraulics, fuel, and secondary power system - extends from behind the cockpit to the end of the aircraft. In April 2021, Saab delivered its first T-7A Red Hawk aft airframe section, followed by the second delivery in July 2021. Upon arrival at Boeing, in St. Louis, Saab’s aft section was joined perfectly with the front fuselage, in less than 30 minutes. That achievement is a testament to the use of digital design and engineering, which delivers accuracy, efficiency, and improved quality, throughout the design and delivery of T-7A Red Hawk. T-7A Red Hawk advanced pilot training system T-7A Red Hawk is an all-new, advanced pilot training system designed for the U.S. Air Force to train the next generation of combat pilots for decades to come. The aircraft has benefited from Saab and Boeing’s ‘breaking the norm’ approach to military aircraft design, engineering, and production, which saw the preceding T-X aircraft go from concept to first flight in just 36 months.

Saab, together with Swedish aviation industry partners and universities, will lead a project aiming to establish a technical roadmap towards fossil-free aviation. The project is supported by the Swedish Energy Agency and focuses primarily on the Swedish and Nordic markets. Fossil-free aviation is a major challenge within the aviation industry and several crossroads for aircraft technology and infrastructure must be taken into consideration. Achieving fossil-free aviation The project aims to provide an objective and balanced overview of the available options for achieving the goal of fossil-free aviation, through several technical solutions, which could pave the way for fossil-free aviation within the next 25 years. The project aims to provide an overview for achieving the goal of fossil-free aviation “We are glad to be able to contribute with Saab’s experience and knowledge of the aviation industry from the past 80 years. Together with the other partners, we look forward to describing the possibilities and challenges we face on the journey towards fossil-free aviation,” says Ann-Kristin Adolfsson, Head of Strategy within Saab’s business area Aeronautics. Sustainable aviation The study will provide decision-makers with valuable insights into sustainable aviation, by presenting clear and transparent solutions based on technical evaluations of transport, the national ecosystem, and infrastructure, as well as sustainability targets and social and economic welfare. “Although several research reports about electric aviation and biofuel have been published, there have not been any comparative studies taking a broader view on technical solutions aimed at the Nordic market.” This project provides a unique possibility to position Sweden’s aviation know-how at the forefront" “This project provides a unique possibility to position Sweden’s aviation know-how at the forefront while providing a firm foundation and roadmap for future Swedish research investments in fossil-free aviation,” says Christopher Jouannet, Senior Engineer Advanced Design within Saab’s business area Aeronautics and manager of the fossil-free aviation project. Transparency in project The project is a collaboration between leading Swedish aviation companies and universities. Saab and GKN Aerospace are participating from the industry side while Linköping University and the Chalmers University of Technology represent academia. The research network Swedish Aerospace Research Center (SARC) is supporting the work as well as the distribution of the results. Transparency is a key value within the project and the reports, data and publications will be made public and accessible for the research community. The project will also work with representatives from Innovair, Svenskt Flyg (Swedish Aviation), and Aerospace Cluster Sweden.
