A trainer with outstanding aeromechanical stability and mobility

The T-4 Intermediate Trainer was developed, thanks to the dedication of the Japanese aero industry, to succeed the Japan Air Self-Defense Force T-33 Jet Trainer.
One of the main features of this trainer is the adoption of a new transonic airfoil. With advanced aeromechanical stability and fuselage mobility at any speed right through to transonic-speed flights, the new addition makes it easier for trainees to graduate from an elementary to advanced trainer airplane.
Furthermore, the weight of the fuselage has been reduced by using a carbon composite material for the vertical tail, ailerons, rudders, etc.
