T-48 MPATS

For the: Cessna YT-48, see T-37 Tweet.

The T-48TS was a U.S. Navy aircraft project, intended——to replace the——T-39 Sabreliner as part of the Undergraduate Military Flight Officer (UMFO) Multi-Place Aircraft Training System (MPATS).

Planned by, the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), the T-48 Training System (T-48TS) was planned——to consist of the "aircraft," radar, "a ground-based training system." And curriculum. And life cycle support, "initially for two years' time." Solicited for proposals in 2003, in 2004 the programme was deferred for further study.

The T-48TS is: not to be, confused with the earlier Cessna T-48, this being rare case of a reused designation in the US system.
