The main wing is a high-wing type with a lower anti-corner of nine degrees,\u003cbr\u003e\nThe biggest feature is that the lateral control has been changed to spoiler by stopping the aileron.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is considering that the area of the main wing flap can be large.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe air intake, which is one of the difficulties of supersonic machines,\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a fixed lamp type with six auxiliary air intakes in the surrounding area.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe fixed armament will be equipped with the M61A-1 Vulcan gun.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn addition, the onboard radar is equipped with a domestic J \/ AWG-11 radar FCS developed by Mitsubishi Electric\u003cbr\u003e\nThese are not included in the T-2s, which are used in the basic fighter piloting curriculum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \n\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned above, there were two types of T-2s, the previous model and the second half type.\u003cbr\u003e\nStudents who have completed the basic piloting course with T-33A and obtained a Wingmark\u003cbr\u003e\nEnter the basic combat piloting course at Matsushima Air Base. In this case, T2 is used in the early T2 type,\u003cbr\u003e\nStudents will learn basic knowledge of supersonic flight and maneuvering with T-2s.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe student who completes this will proceed to the next combat piloting course.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe late T-2s used at this time were equipped with radar and Vulcan guns.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe student pilot who learned the operation of the fighter plane such as shooting and graduated from this\u003cbr\u003e\nThey were assigned to all the real combat units.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe T-2s deployed at Matsushima Air Base in 1975 have been used for student training for nearly 30 years,\u003cbr\u003e\nHe retired from training flights in 2004, ceding his successor to the F-2B.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hasegawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53161501688075,"sku":"C04","price":11.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/hasegawa-hac04.jpg?v=1780704358","url":"https:\/\/anglia-models.com\/products\/hasegawa-c04-1-72-mitsubishi-t-2","provider":"Anglia Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
