New Military Aircraft Designation: Air Force Debuts e-Planes

Air Force plans to designate new jets designed using new “digital engineering” with a lowercase “e.”The Air Force believes aircraft built the new way—like the brand-new, secret fighter jet—are so different, they deserve wider recognition.The T-7 Red Hawk trainer will be the first aircraft to take use the designation, becoming the eT-7. The U.S. Air Force believes new digital aerospace engineering processes—using computers to design, model, and test aircraft before an actual prototype is built—are so revolutionary that it will now assign a lowercase “e” to the designation of current and future planes designed in such a way.

The Air Force made the announcement this week during the Air Force Association’s annual Air, Space, and Cyber conference.

Those who jokingly “identify as an Apache helicopter” would be thrilled to see the “cannon-cam” set up by squadron members who fall under the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade as the five-ship flight of AH-64s soared over Philadelphia.
