Air Force Buys T-7 Engines Directly
1 source · first reported 3h ago
The Air Force plans to purchase engines for its T-7A trainer directly, instead of through Boeing, the plane's manufacturer. This change may incur additional costs but gives the service more control over the process. The move is part of the Air Force's efforts to manage its assets more effectively.
Why it matters
This decision allows the Air Force to have greater control over its supply chain and potentially negotiate better prices for the engines, which is significant for the management and maintenance of its T-7A trainer fleet.
