Fuji T-7

The Fuji T-7 (formerly the KM-2D) is a Japanese primary trainer aircraft developed by Fuji Heavy Industries. It is a single-engine, low-wing monoplane designed to replace the Fuji T-3 in service with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF).

The T-7 is characterized by its side-by-side seating arrangement for the instructor and student pilot. Its design emphasizes ease of maintenance and low operating costs. The aircraft is powered by a piston engine.

The T-7 entered service with the JASDF in 2002. Key features include modern avionics, improved safety features compared to its predecessor, and a robust airframe for training purposes. It is used in the initial stages of pilot training for future JASDF pilots.
