AI Contract Overview

The contract outlines the collection of flight data by USAF personnel during the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) to support the evaluation of the T-X Advanced Pilot Trainer. This data was gathered through hands-on flight missions designed to replicate those conducted in the Air Education and Training Command's Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training and Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals programs. The flight profiles include a variety of sorties: single-ship familiarization and ground attack training, two-ship formation flying, and two-ship air-to-air combat maneuvers. These sorties encompass activities such as familiarization flights, patterns and landings, low and medium altitude surface attack deliveries, advanced formation tactics, as well as offensive and defensive fighter maneuver setups. Coordination and correspondence related to this contract are managed by Mr. Thomas Rickey, the T-X Contracting Officer within the Training Aircraft Division. The contract’s scope falls under the NAICS code 336411, which pertains to aircraft manufacturing. The collected data aims to provide practical insights into aircraft performance and handling characteristics critical for pilot training system development and decision-making processes within the USAF.

Full Description

The following information is provided to inform industry of flight profiles flown by USAF representatives during the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) data collection process. The AoA benefited from "hands-on" data collection of the aircraft flown. Data collection consisted of having USAF members fly missions similar to those flown in AETC's Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT) and Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals (IFF) syllabus. These missions are shown below. For all correspondence relating to T-X, please contact the T-X Contracting Officer in the Training Aircraft Division, Mr. Thomas Rickey, 937-904-41763 or email Thomas.Rickey@wpafb.af.mil Single ship familiarization and ground attack sorties: Sortie 1 - Rear Cockpit; Demonstrations for local pilot, Patterns/landings Sortie 2 - Rear Cockpit; Demonstrations for local pilot, surface attack- low and medium altitude deliveries Two ship formation sorties: Sortie 3 - Front Cockpit; Low level, basic and tactical Formation, advanced handling, extended trail maneuvering Sortie 4 - Front Cockpit; Low level, basic and tactical Formation, advanced handling, extended trail maneuvering Two ship air-to-air sorties: Sortie 5 - Front Cockpit; Basic fighter maneuvers, offensive/defensive perch set-ups at 3000 and 6000 feet slant range, high aspect butterfly set-ups Sortie 6 - Front Cockpit; Basic fighter maneuvers, offensive/defensive perch set-ups at 3000 and 6000 feet slant range, high aspect butterfly set-ups Sortie 7 - Front Cockpit; Basic fighter maneuvers, offensive/defensive perch set-ups at 3000 and 6000 feet slant range, high aspect butterfly set-ups Sortie 8 - Front Cockpit; Basic fighter maneuvers, offensive/defensive perch set-ups at 3000 and 6000 feet slant range, high aspect butterfly set-ups
