The T-50 Golden Eagle design is largely derived from the Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon, and they have many similarities: use of a single engine, speed, size, cost, and the range of weapons. KAI's previous engineering experience in license-producing the KF-16 has substantially benefited T-50 in the designing stage. The T-50's central processing unit and its operating system are developed by MDS Technology. The T-50's avionics operating system is the first and only real-time operating system to be developed by an Asian company, and is given the DO-178B certification. Samsung Thales and LIG Nex1 are the main avionics and electronic warfare equipment developers for T-50 and its variants. T-50 Golden Eagle (wallpaper 4).

Other South Korean companies such as DoDAAM Systems and Aeromaster are responsible for the aircraft's secondary avionics, including store management computers, avionics testing equipment, flight data recorders, portable maintenance aids, data analysis software, post-flight data processing system, and aircraft structure and engine management software. The cockpit panels, switches, and joysticks are produced by South Korea's FirsTec and Sungjin Techwin. TA-50 mounts a General Dynamics A-50 20mm cannon internally behind the cockpit. The cannon is a three-barreled version of the M61 Vulcan, with 205 rounds of linkless ammunition. AIM-9 Sidewinders can be attached at each of the wingtip rails, and additional weapons can be mounted to underwing hardpoints. Compatible air-to-surface weapons include the AGM-65 Maverick missile, Hydra 70 and LOGIR rocket launchers, CBU-58 and Mk-20 cluster bombs, and Mk-82, -83, and -84 general purpose bombs.

The T-50 Golden Eagle is a family of South Korean supersonic advanced trainers and multirole fighters, developed by Korea Aerospace Industries beginning in the late 1990s. The T-50 is South Korea's first indigenous supersonic aircraft and one of the world's few supersonic trainers. Currently, KAI is upgrading four T-50 Golden Eagle trainers into prototypes of advanced multirole fighters designated FA-50. The T-50 program was originally intended to develop an indigenous trainer aircraft capable of supersonic flight, to train and prepare pilots for the KF-16 and F-15K, replacing trainers such as T-38 and A-37 that were then in service with the Republic of Korea Air Force. Prior South Korean aircraft programs include the propeller-driven KT-1 basic trainer produced by Daewoo Aerospace (now part of KAI), and license-manufactured KF-16. In general the T-50 series of aircraft closely resembles the KF-16 in configuration. T-50 Golden Eagle (wallpaper 3). T-50 Golden Eagle aircraft images wallpaper gallery 3.

The basic design of the aircraft was set by 1999. The development of the aircraft was funded 13% by Lockheed Martin, 17% by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), and 70% by the government of South Korea. The aircraft was formally designated as T-50 Golden Eagle in February 2000. The T-50A designation was reserved by the U.S. military to prevent to it from being inadvertently assigned to another aircraft model. Final assembly of the first T-50 took place between 15 January and 14 September 2001. The first flight of the T-50 took place in August 2002, and initial operational assessment from 28 July to 14 August 2003. KAI and Lockheed Martin are currently pursuing a joint marketing program for the T-50 variant internationally. The South Korean air force placed a production contract for 25 T-50s in December 2003, with aircraft scheduled to be delivered between 2005 and 2009. Original T-50 are equipped with the AN/PG-67(v)4 radar from Lockheed Martin. T-50 Golden Eagle (wallpaper 3). T-50 Golden Eagle aircraft images wallpaper gallery 3.

As the prime contractor for the T-50, KAI is responsible for system integration and manufacturing. The trainer is assembled and delivered at KAI's Aircraft plant in Sachon Korea. In partnership with KAI for the development of T-50, LM Aero provided technical assistance, the operational flight program for avionics and flight control, and manufacture of the wing. With a robust prediction of international sales for Advanced Jet Trainer and Light Combat Aircraft, the T-50 is ready to service the needs of customers worldwide. With a growing industrial alliance, form a broad spectrum of leading aerospace companies worldwide. T-50 Golden Eagle (wallpaper 2). T-50 Golden Eagle aircraft images wallpaper gallery 2.

The T-50 aircraft is the only advanced jet trainer introduced in the 2000s. The aircraft is being built in the T-50A advanced trainer and T-50B lead-in fighter trainer versions. The T-50B is called the A-50 by the South Korean Air Force. The Air Force has a requirement for 50 T-50 trainers and 44 A-50 light attack aircraft. T-50 Full Scale Development program began in 1997 and continued through 2005. T/A-50 Full Scale Development ran from October 1997 through January 2006. Initially, production authorization was planned for the third quarter of 2003 with production deliveries slated to begin in 2005. The 1st flight took place in October 2002, followed by T-50 production aircraft delivery to the Republic of Korea Air Force with plans to purchase additional T-50 aircraft to replace the aging fleets of F-4s and F-5s.

The T-50 Golden Eagle is a supersonic advanced jet trainer being developed by KAI for the ROKAF. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, the principal subcontractor to KAI, is providing technical expertise in all aspects of the program and is responsible for developing the T-50 avionics system, flight control system and wings. The two companies are cooperatively marketing the T-50 internationally. The T-50 has the maneuverability, endurance and advanced systems to prepare future pilots to fly current and next-generation fighters like advanced F-16s, the F-22 and the Joint Strike Fighter. These same characteristics give it an excellent capability as a lead-in fighter trainer and potential light-combat aircraft in many air forces. There is a very real problem emerging in the fighter community today. The aircraft currently used to train fighter pilots started production in the 1950s and 1960s and are approaching the limit of their service life. T-50 Golden Eagle (wallpaper 1).

Age and attrition as well as widening gaps between past and current technologies are creating concern in many fighter communities around the world. Because 4th generation fighters today are more complex and capable than ever before, fighter pilots must properly trained to operate their aircraft at the maximum envelop to fully utilize the fighter capability during combat. To address these critical issues, the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) has commissioned Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company (LM Aero) to develop and produce the T-50 for the ROKAF. Under a partnership arrangement, KAI and LM Aero have jointly invested in the T-50, making it the only recently developed advanced supersonic trainer. The T-50 is designed as an advanced trainer for fighter pilots selected to fly world's 4th and 5th generation fighter aircraft. It is the highest efficiency training system because it provides trainee pilots rapid transition to a modern fighter environment utilizing the latest advancement in aviation technology. T-50 can also function as a Light Combat Aircraft for the defense of national borders. T-50 is the advanced jet trainer for tomorrow's fighter pilot. T-50 Golden Eagle (wallpaper 1).
