Perhaps give SAAB credits too since it is SAAB's model based digital design.

[@bob8688]

Dont cry pooor Swene!Swedish love American ashools eller hur!

[@acarrillo8277]

There is so much tech bidirectional technology and knowledge transfer between the two counties that it's hard to keep track of it all. Besides that would be a bit like crediting Dassault whenever you use SolidWorks to design something, sure you do that but it's in the industrial partner credits.

[@bulletsupremo1676]

Don't really know where SAAB comes in with the design aspect since I've kinda associated them with delta wings, but yeah, give credit where it's due. This kinda looks like a Hornet though.

[@SnulkiZH]

That is one good looking SAAB!

[@mrSkandalpolisen]

As usual, Boeing don't even mention the tiny little Swedish company that tought Boeing how to design aircraft this efficient way. Boeing, you should give SAAB a lot more credit for this than you do.

[@rock3times]

Yes, I can see the JAS Gripen fingerprints all over the plane.

[@mwara2444]

As an American the Europeans already know this which is why they buy Saab aircraft over US

[@untrust2033]

unless you can give some sources, im gonna say there might just be some saab fanboyism going on

[@dcolb121]

@@untrust2033 I was thinking the same thing. Without proof it's just talk.

[@benjaminmartinsen587]

It looks like a combination of the F18, the Jas Gripen, and the EA-6B Prowler. haha

[@scupking]

A mini F-18! Also uses the same engine as the legacy hornet!

[@andersstrand5252]

If you are familiar to the Saab Gripen you can see its design elements all over the T7A

[@Homoprimatesapiens]

Well-done. Sounds like a break through in designing technology. In essence a single engine F-18.

[@AkeinTennakoon]

true

[@jackdennis9286]

I see it as a mix of the F35 and FA18F model.

[@geraldsmith7240]

A, No.🇺🇸

[@yellowlght9181]

It's a fantastic aircraft ....I haven't seen this kind of innovation since the late 80s early 90s

[@TheWizardGamez]

Wonder if this thing will be adopted by the navy in the future, since it is so close to the F-18 in structure

[@chrisbraswell8864]

More like an updated F-20 Tigershark.

[@fourthhorseman4531]

Yeah, I'm going to need one of these, Boeing.

[@perelfberg7415]

Cool! Why not mention the partner company that do half the aircraft and who is a big contributer of the MBD ways of working?

Absolutely Dude ✌️

[@jeffwieringa4528]

Simply OUTSTANDING!

Will this jet ever be used in war? Is it only for training? The large canopy is impressive for visibility. Beautiful machine no doubt.

[@jimramsey8887]

I cannot believe you didn't mention the SAAB Inputs.

[@chybagus]

What a beautiful little jet. I'm just bummed I don't get to buy one... :)

[@Γιάννης7890]

They should make attack - close air support version

[@bluemarshall6180]

Much better than the FA-50.

[@TheWizardGamez]

F-9 because it’s like half an F-18

[@tomascastillo4676]

Can this airplane be adapted as a light multirole aircraft? Beautiful design.

[@bertg.6056]

The Swedes sure designed a beauty !

[@laszlovandor4770]

So does the dogtooth leading edge fix the wing problem? Nice jet, Boeing!

[@Tigershark_3082]

Northrop should have developed an updated F-20 for the T-X program

[@abrahamdiaz3648]

@@Tigershark_3082 The Tigershark was an avant-garde jet fighter. The specifications for which it was disparaged are the same that all manufacturers are looking for today: simple, cheap, powerful and efficient.

[@Tigershark_3082]

@@abrahamdiaz3648 Indeed. However, a big issue with the prototypes had to do with fuel. On the 4th partially finished prototype, it was going to have an increased fuel capacity. The prototypes also never got their Ford Aerospace Tigerclaw cannons, which were supposed to be faster-firing M39A3s made of a lighter material

[@PozieNayan]

If they could market F-20 as low cost solution for third world countries, that will be great. So they have more option than just JF-17. 😔

[@frankschmidt2303]

[@polduseri909]

Can you be more specific? My understanding is that the design belongs to SAAB but almost everything else belongs to Boeing

Beautiful aircraft. Wow 36 months while HAL takes 20 years to get a plane certified

[@rock3times]

Why ? That's worrisome. India needs improvement to face down China next..

[@oxcart4172]

Well, they don't have much experience!

[@chandanmohanta8352]

lack of experience, red tapes in procurement, iterative requirement changes over decades; hence the delay. Better late than never now things are smooth for Tejas MK1, MK2 is on correct course, AMCA, TEDBF are ambitiously on target deadline, CATS OMCA made its demonstration ahead of deadline :) great work by our HAL and DRDO scientists. It's true that we cant recover time what has already been lost but we're catching up faster than expected.

[@HA-rn2iu]

Hello Self flagellator. Its design to first flight in 36 months. HAL did the same for HTT40. Dassault took 15 years for Rafale certification. HAL took 15 years for Tejas, Mr Self flagellator.

[@Jonathan-ki4iz]

I wonder why the cut so abruptly at 0:40, most likely the rest of his sentence was "-for both boeing and saab".

[@Tim_3100]

Danm this looks good, could be a nice replacement for the t1 hawk we have in uk which is retiring soon be great if bae could delevoped a uk variant like westland did the apache i believe

[@Blowinshiddup]

It would be sweet if the RCAF bought into the program to replace the CT-155 Hawk. Hard to believe they replaced the Tutor over 20 years ago!

The T7A can only serve as a simple practice aircraft due to its incorrect wing structure. It is not suitable for practice dogfights against enemy aircraft.
