 A second T-50 Golden Eagle completed its first flight last November in South Korea. The aircraft, the second full-scale development aircraft in the flight test program, had been undergoing ground checks since completing assembly last May. The first T-50 flew in August 2002 and reached its operational ceiling of 40,000 feet last November. En route to its operational ceiling, T-50 No. 1 climbed to an altitude of 35,000 feet where throttle transients were performed. At 40,000 feet, the aircraft accelerated to Mach 0.6 where it performed flutter and stability control tests. |
