Japanese T-2 trainer projects

[blackkite]

Hi! Fuji, Kawasaki and Nihon hikoki's joint proposal for Japanese T-2 supersonic trainer project(T-X).
Basically this plan was designed by Fuji Heavy Industries. Fuji approached Northrop to ask T-X design assistance or T-38 licence production at the day.
This drawing is not a original one. This is a reconstruction drawing based on designer's memory. I hope we find original drawing near future.

Not at all my dear hesham. It looks like Northrop T-38. Unfortunately I can't find front view and side view. Perhaps these were T-38 like shape.

Mitsubishi and JASDF are studying a photo-reconnaissance version, the RT-2, for use as a short-range battlefield complement to the longer-range RF-4EJ. Both aircraft would replace the RF-86Fs now in service.

No further details and not mentioned again.
