When Can I Order a Maverick?

We don't know when you can order a maverick, but we sure are excited about the possibility! The maverick is a new kind of aircraft that has been designed for private use. It is small, light, and fast, and can be operated without a pilot's license.

The maverick is the brainchild of Aerofex, a California-based company that has been working on the project for years. The company is now taking orders for the aircraft, and is expected to start delivering them in 2017.

The maverick is a unique and innovative aircraft that is sure to be a hit with private pilots and aviation enthusiasts. We can't wait to see what the future holds for this amazing aircraft!

The Northrop T-38 Talon is an American supersonic jet trainer. It was the world's first supersonic trainer and is also the most produced. The T-38 remains in service as of 2019 in several air forces. The United States Air Force (USAF) is the largest operator of the T-38. In addition to training USAF pilots, the T-38 is used by NASA. The US Naval Test Pilot School is the principal US Navy operator.

The T-38 advanced the American supersonic training program by incorporating a supersonic center of gravity, Machmeter, spaceframe, and engines identical to those used in front-line USAF fighters. The aircraft seats two and has tandem controls. It has ejection seats and a canopy that can be jettisoned in an emergency. It is powered by two General Electric J85 engines, each producing 2,050 lbf (9.1 kN) of thrust. It has an airframe that is designed to sustain 9-g maneuvers and can cruise at Mach 0.85. The T-38 has excellent rate-of-climb performance and was capable of climbing 3,000 ft/min (15.2 m/s) in the early 1960s.

The T-38 is aerodynamically unstable and was fly-by-wire to address that issue. The aircraft's Machmeter is unique in that it actually measures dynamic pressure, not airspeed. The Talon originally was equipped with analog instruments, but was subsequently upgraded to digital displays in the 1970s.

The T-38 was introduced to the USAF in March 1961 and first flew at Edwards AFB, California. The original production run consisted of 599 aircraft, all of which were delivered by the end of 1965. The USAF Thunderbirds US military aviation demonstration team operated T-38 Talons from 1974 until 1982. The Black Knights of the US Army Parachute Team used Talons from 1973 to 1986. As of 2019, the Texas Flying Legends Museum flies a T-38A in airshows.

The last T-38 Talon built was delivered to the US Air Force in 1972. A total of 1,187 T-38 Talons were built by Northrop before production ended.

The takeoff and landing distance of a Maverick is 2,600 feet. The airplane has a maximum takeoff weight of 5,300 pounds and a maximum landing weight of 4,900 pounds. The Maverick can takeoff and land in 1,600 feet if it is light, has a good headwind, and is on a dry, level runway.

A service ceiling is the maximum altitude a aircraft can fly. The service ceiling of a Maverick is 60,000 feet.
