First T-7A Red Hawk Joined in Record Time, Thanks to Digital Design
In one historic moment, the front fuselage of the first Boeing [NYSE: BA]-Saab T-7A Red Hawk advanced trainer was joined perfectly with its aft section in less than 30 minutes – a testament to the digital heritage of the U.S. Air Force’s first “eSeries” aircraft and witness to the benefits of model-based engineering and 3D design.
The digital splice was completed in 95% less time than traditional splices and with substantial quality improvements.
“This moment marks a key stage in the evolution of the T-7A Red Hawk,” said Chuck Dabundo, vice president and program manager of Boeing T-7 programs. “Employing digitally advanced manufacturing and build techniques developed by Boeing over the past two decades, we are bringing this trainer to future pilots sooner than ever before possible and with greater quality.”

Honeywell reached a $13 million settlement with the US Department of State over alleged violations of the Arms Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (better known as ITAR).
Honeywell agreed to the settlement on 3 May. The State Department has agreed to suspend $5 million of the penalty on the condition that the funds will be used for “remedial compliance measures to strengthen Honeywell’s compliance program”, it says.
