Boeing Sky Fox

Wallpaper Description:

The Boeing Skyfox was a program to modify the aging Lockheed T-33 jet trainers into a modernized, twin-engine aircraft. It was made as a primary trainer to compete and replace the Cessna T-37 Tweety Bird.[1] Besides its primary role as a trainer, the aircraft was envisioned to have other roles as well, including ground attack. The program was started by the Skyfox Corporation in 1983, and was acquired by Boeing in 1986.[2]
The program included the replacement of the Allison J33-A-35 turbojet by two Garrett TFE731-3A turbofans, the same that are on the Dassault Falcon 10, 20, 50, 900, IAI Astra, IAI Westwind, and Learjet 40. It also included an extensive redesign of the airframe. Only one prototype aircraft was built, and the program was later canceled due to lack of customers
