T-50 Gun Tests

T-50 Gun Tests Ground-based gun testing was successfully completed in late October on the Lead-In Fighter Trainer version of the T-50 Golden Eagle supersonic jet trainer. The 20 mm M61 gun was tested at the Korea Aerospace Industries facility in Sachon, South Korea. The tests verified installed gun operation, projectile path, and gun port design. The tests also measured structural response, acoustic noise levels, and gunfire-induced vibration loads. No external damage to the canopy or systems resulted from firing debris. The T-50 LIFT version bridges the gap between initial pilot training and operational training. The gun will be used for both strafing and aerial gunnery training.
