Collins will also make the jet\u2019s landing gear, including its wheels, brakes, structure and actuation, the company stated in a news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur innovative technologies will play a critical role in helping to keep aircrews safe, reducing maintenance costs, and improving operational performance,\u201d said John Fyfe, the company\u2019s director for Air Force programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Triumph will provide hydraulic systems and the \u201cairframe mounted accessory drives\u201d used in the Saab-produced aft fuselage. An airframe-mounted accessory drive provides power for the aircraft\u2019s hydraulic pumps, auxiliary fuel pumps and electrical generators, according to the company, and Triumph also produced such systems for Saab\u2019s Gripen E aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe look forward to delivering these systems for the T-X program that will provide U.S. Air Force pilots in training with the latest equipment to support missions that protect freedom and democracy,\u201d said Frank Dubey, the executive vice president of Triumph Integrated Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boeing won the T-X contract in September, beating out Lockheed Martin and Leonardo DRS for an award worth up to $9.2 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Boeing and the other companies involved with developing the T-X, there is potential to increase the number of aircraft produced through international sales and follow-on buys by the Air Force. However, keeping down costs will be key to profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The T-X program of record calls for the purchase of 351 trainers, but the service could buy up to 475 aircraft if all options are executed on the current contract. Air Force acquisition officials said that structure gives the service more flexibility to procure jets at a rapid pace if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first four lots of T-X jets will be produced under a fixed-price, incentive-fee model, which would allow Boeing to rake in greater profit if it meets certain Air Force goals. From the fifth lot onward, planes will be delivered under a firm fixed-price structure whereby industry accepts the risk of cost overruns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the recent announcements shed some light on the industrial participation in the program, big questions remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/digital-show-dailies\/air-force-association\/2017\/09\/18\/saab-pledges-to-open-new-facility-in-us-for-t-x-but-questions-remain\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Two-Boeing-T-X-over-STL-Arch-PUBLIC.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Saab pledges to open new facility in US for T-X, but questions remain<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Saab intends to establish a manufacturing and production center in the U.S. to handle the Swedish company\u2019s work on the Boeing-Saab T-X trainer aircraft &#8211; although it is unclear if that plan will remain in place should the team-up fail to win the U.S. Air Force\u2019s contract, nor where the facility might end up.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boeing is set to manufacture its portion of the T-X at its St. Louis, Missouri, production facility, a move that the company says will support 1,800 direct and indirect jobs in Missouri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saab executives have also vowed to bring some of the production to the United States, boosting the amount of the plane made in the U.S. to 90 percent. During a September 2017 news conference, Saab AB president and CEO Haken Buskhe said that the company was considering building a new facility, working with an existing company and using its space, or buying an existing plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not standing here without having done some homework,\u201d he said then. However, despite having multiple options on the table, Saab has not announced a decision on the location of its U.S.-based T-X plant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boeing was
