Overview
The SM-47A is a highly maneuverable, single engine, two seat tandem, fixed wing supersonic Advanced Pilot Trainer. A variant of the SM-47 Super Machete conceived specifically to satisfy USAF Advanced Pilot Training (APT) Family of Systems, known also as T-X.
The SM-47A is a highly maneuverable, single-engine, two-seat tandem, fixed-wing supersonic Advanced Pilot Trainer aircraft. A variant of the SM-47 Super Machete, the SM-47A was conceived specifically to satisfy the requirements of the USAF Advanced Pilot Training (APT) Family of Systems (FoS) aircraft, known also as the T-X.
Powered by a single GEAE F414 enhanced afterburning turbofan with over 26,000 lbs of thrust at sea level, the SM-47A will have digital Power-By-Wire flight controls, canard foreplanes, a distinctive empennage and 9-g maneuverability with full internal fuel. The Forward Swept Wing (FSW) SM-47A will offer a maximum level speed at altitude in excess of Mach 2.2 and a tactical radius on internal fuel of over 700 nm.
A dedicated Stavatti solution originally conceived to satisfy the USAF Advanced Pilot Training (APT) Family of Systems (FoS) requirement, the SM-47A will be capable of in-flight refueling and meets or exceeds all of the performance and mission requirements as specified in the APT FoS RFP. Benefiting from an advanced avionics suite, the SM-47A is a bridge between fourth and sixth generation fighters focused upon performance, maneuverability, maintainability and affordability rather than low observability.
