T-48 MPATS

From PlaneSpottingWorld, for aviation fans everywhere

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 consists of the aircraft, radar, a ground based training system and curriculum, and life cycle support, initially for two years' time. [1] Solicited for proposals in 2003[1], in 2004 the programme was deferred for further study.[2]

The T-48TS is not to be confused with the earlier Cessna T-48, this being a rare case of a reused designation in the US system. [3]
