30. juna polece prvi proizvodni primerak.

Izmene u odnosu na dosadasnji

Citat:The production version allows them to refine the design of certain components. The main landing gear, for example, of the Scorpion demonstrator is an elaborate oleo strut design. It is being replaced with a simplified trailing link gear, removing 90kg (200lb) in the process, Tutt says.

Another change adds 4˚ of sweep to the outboard span of the wing leading-edge. The demonstrator revealed a centre of gravity slightly aft of the design intent, Tutt says. Increasing the sweep angle should correct the centre of gravity position while not affecting speed or manoeuvrability performance, he adds.

Other changes from the demonstrator design include the speed brake, which was bolted on to the top of the aft fuselage as an afterthought. The speed brake on the production version is designed to be flush with the fuselage skin, Tutt says.

More tweaks are being made beneath the skin. Cessna designed the Scorpion with a unique twin-keel hull, allowing the fuselage to accommodate a centerline payload bay. The original design allowed the Scorpion to fully retract a 15in-wide sensor turret assembly. Cessna changed the production design to store a 25in-wide sensor, such as the Sierra Nevada Gorgon Stare wide area surveillance system.

In the nose Textron AirLand is expanding optional payloads beyond the standard weather radar. The production Scorpion will have space reserved to instead house a multimode fighter radar, such as Northrop Grumman’s APG-68 fire control and synthetic aperture system.

Scorpion nece ucestvovati u americkom T-X
USAF sets up process for Scorpion airworthiness testing
Citat:Textron and the air force signed a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA), allowing the service for the first time to certificate the aircraft’s airworthiness in the absence of a programme of record, according to a 15 July news release.
The airworthiness assessment is viewed by Textron AirLand as a critical step in opening up the Scorpion to sales to customers besides the US military.
Citat:The prospect of a stamp of approval by the USAF could boost Textron AirLand’s hope for Scorpion contracts, but the project remains a gamble for the company. Although the Scorpion twinjet is designed for light attack and training roles, Textron AirLand has decided not to bid for the looming USAF T-X contract.
