Then there is the possibility that mine the safest single engine we pull the right engine back you may not be able to climb takeoff speed for the aircraft. Edwards Air Force Base test pilots last completed single engine takeoff speed, or SETOS, testing on the T-38 in 1966. But recent modifications to the aircraft's propulsion system increased takeoff performance, which now requires more SETOS data. After more than a year, the testing ended Oct. 14. Single-engine takeoff testing is considered high-risk because test pilots are shutting down an engine during takeoff, said 1st Lt.

SGT. ERIC GRILL 95th ABW Public Affairs Tanner said. "We want to do the test here in a controlled environment before someone ends up having to do it in a real environment with a real engine failure," he said. Most of the actual in-flight testing occurs at Edwards AFB, CA, but initiation of the programs begins right here at Hill. The T-38 system program office, manages the Talon and has total system responsibility, from cradle to grave. "Part of the program process is to develop the requirements and fund the testing center at Edwards AFB," said Capt Kenneth Henderson, T-38 avionics program manager. The bottom line is that the Airmen and civilians assigned to the T-38 manage every modification to the aircraft. The main goal of this one engine take off was to ensure safety in case of an in flight emergency. The T-38 SPO's goal is to make sure that the aircraft is functional until at least the year 2020.
