== T-5 Brave Eagle vs XAT-5 Blue Magpie ==
==Grammar==
The T-5 Brave Eagle page makes no mention of a rename to Blue Magpie, so I reverted the dubious edit by the IPv6 address. When {{reply-to|BilCat}} reverted that, he claimed the aircraft had been renamed and the article had a new name, the latter statement is definitely false, and the article itself makes no mention of a rename to Magpie. When I added Dubious and Citation Needed it was reverted along with a personal attack by {{reply-to|Horse Eye Jack}}. How could there possibly not be a citation needed for this claim? Shouldn’t someone fix, with citations, the T-5 Brave Eagle page before messing with uncited claims about it in this one? ] (]) 15:56, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
:''The aircraft can carry up to two pilots, and the high amount canopy and the tandem seating allow the pilots superior visibility, vital to successfuly locking onto enemy targets.''
:Buddy you are either seriously confused or being willfully obtuse... See ]. Your claim of personal attack is also facetious, no such attack was made. ] (]) 16:04, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
What exactly is "high amount canopy" supposed to mean? High-mounted canopy? Even that doesn't mean much. I want to clean this up, but as I am unsure of the origianl intent, I am waiting. --] 19:14, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
::More personal attacks, so any argument about the edit history is irrelevant. Your link says “On 24 September 2019, Tsai Ing-wen officially named the new aircraft as "Brave Eagle" during first prototype aircraft roll-out ceremony.”. Sounds pretty recent right? Where’s your citation for the rename back to Blue Magpie in the last 6 days? The rename was TO Brave Eagle, not FROM Brave Eagle. ] (]) 16:26, 30 September 2019 (UTC)


:::Yes, the rename was TO Brave Eagle, not FROM Brave Eagle. Which is exactly what the IP changed in the . I think you owe the IP a big apology. Thanks. - ] (]) 23:15, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
:It was supposed to be high-mounted canopy. Please go ahead & copy edit as much as you want. (] 22:34, 1 October 2006 (UTC))


{{Outdent}} It is not really that important to list the name for the XAT-5/T-5 in this T-50 article anyway. ] (]) 17:42, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
OK, thanks. That's what I thought it was supposed to be, but wasn't certain. --] 23:11, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


::::Yep. But you two kept renaming it Blue Magpie (which is wrong), started raving about policies (which I am aware of), nevermind the personal attacks (which probably violate policy), and the fact that you’re just trying to save face at this point.

== Odd assertion in 2nd sentence of 2nd para... ==
Why do we call this plane a trainer? It has full-blown radar and the same type of single jet engine is found in the swedish Jas-39 ] fighter jet, the airframe size is also similar. The use of afterburner makes it a high-cost airplane, which is against any trainer use logic. This plane either makes no sense or it is actually a light fighter-bomber with a trainer excuse! ] (]) 14:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
What does "The F-50 single-seat multirole fighter variant was considered." mean, please? Thanks ] (]) 09:15, 19 May 2022 (UTC)


: We call it what the manufacturer(s) and customers designate it. The main version is intended for training. Some trainer aircraft carry weapons for practice and there's an attack version (A-50) too. It uses the F/A-18's F404 engine. The Gripen's RM12 engine is a derivative of the F404. -] (]) 15:28, 23 May 2008 (UTC) : It is supposed to mean that KAI had studied a single-seat variant in the past. ] (]) 15:15, 19 May 2022 (UTC)


== Transition to FA-50 ==
::Concur with Fnlayson. the T-50 is what is called a "Lead-In FighterTrainer" (LIFT), and is intended to mimic high-performance fighters without the higher cost of aircraft like the F-16. THe F404 eninge is comparatively economical, though even I thought it was probably too big an engine for the role. However, the A-50 variant is intended to be a lower-cost fighter, so it does make sense. Alos, the T-50 is designed to be a replaces ment for the T-38, as both are supersonic. Remember that the F-5 is a minumu-change variant of the T-38, but that didn't make the T-38 any less of a trainer. Most advanced trainers nowadays are high subsonic, like the Hawk and Alpha Jet. The ] is also supersonic, and it uses the F414, a more powerful derivitive of the F404. - ] (]) 16:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps this article should transition to being primarily about the FA-50 with the T-50 mentioned rather than the opposite, inasmuch as Poland is now purchasing FA-50's to replace Mig-29's (in part, along with F-35's) it is donating to Ukraine? https://wapo.st/3lkWeFa People are going to start searching for FA-50 more frequently than T-50, I expect. ] (]) 18:29, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
:The FA-50 is a variant of the T-50, not the other way around. The type was originally designed to be a trainer, only later being considered for a combat role. Besides, a temporary surge in interest in a specific variant is not a good reason to change the scope of the article to said variant. - ] <sub>]</sub><span style="color:#6B8E23">\</span><sup>]</sup> 00:09, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

== A/A missiles not integrated ==
Shouldn't this article use metric as its 'main' measurement and imperial as the 'other' measurement system? It is (primarily) a South Korean aircraft and the measurement system in Korea is metric. ] (]) 13:32, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Strike the claim about Sidewinder until this is resolved?
: Probably. KAI does list US Customary units first . That could due to tie-in with Lockheed Martin. Or it may not mean anything. -] (]) 15:10, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
::Well I was just curious if there was an over-arching Misplaced Pages aviation policy on this or not, it would certainly make sense if there was. ] (]) 18:05, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
::: I think the nation of origin's system of units is generally used like with the ], etc on spelling. But exceptions exist. For example the Concorde article uses Imperial units, since it was designed in them before the UK went metric officially. -] (]) 18:18, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
