Boeing announced it conducted an engine air start with the T-7A Red Hawk advanced jet trainer as part of the type’s testing programme.
波音公司宣佈，作為該類型測試計劃的一部分，它與T-7A紅鷹高級噴氣式教練機一起進行了發動機空氣啟動。
The T-7A’s only engine, GE 404, was turned off for 48 seconds when the aircraft was flying at an altitude of 20,000 feet, Boeing said in a statement.
波音公司在一份聲明中說，T-7A唯一的引擎，GE 404，在飛機在2萬英尺的高度飛行時關閉了48秒。
“It’s a test of all the subsystems built for backup in the event a pilot would have to shut the engine down in an emergency and power it back up again,” said T-7A Chief Pilot Steve Schmidt.
T-7A首席飛行員史蒂夫·施密特(Steve Schmidt)說：“這是對所有為備用而建造的子系統的測試，以防飛行員在緊急情況下必須關閉引擎並重新啟動。”

The delivery of the first aircraft is scheduled for 2023.
