16 September 2019:Elbit Systems of America will supply Boeing's T-X advanced pilot training aircraft for the United States Air Force with a number of products including cockpit displays, datalinks and embedded training capabilities.
"We are supremely proud to be trusted by Boeing and the US Air Force to supply these mission critical products and vital training systems," said Raanan Horowitz, President and CEO of Elbit Systems of America. "Future pilots will greatly benefit from the revolutionary flight training capabilities featured in the T-X."
Elbit Systems of America will offer a number of important components like large area displays, engine fuel indicators, upfront control panels, and Head Up Displays and their associated line replaceable units. Also, the company will supply air and ground datalinks enabling the T-X's onboard virtual avionics and the Integrated Live/Virtual/Constructive capability. This cutting edge capability simulates the advanced avionics, sensors and weapons utilised by 5th generation fighters like the F-22 and F-35, allowing T-X pilots to virtually operate those systems while flying the lower cost-to-operate T-X aircraft.
