QinetiQ is a British multinational defence technology company headquartered in Farnborough, Hampshire, England. Four Alpha Jets, all fully instrumented, were used by QinetiQ for the Empire Test Pilots" School fixedwing course, captained by pilot students, who studied the aircraft's performance, stability and control and flying qualities. QinetiQ acquired a total of 12 ex-Luftwaffe Alpha Jets, which were delivered to Boscombe Down between December 1999 and January 2001 and allocated serials ZJ645 to ZJ656. Only six (ZJ645, ZJ646, ZJ647, ZJ648, ZJ649 and ZJ651) were flown by QinetiQ, while the remainder were stored at Boscombe to act as spares sources.
Designed as part of a Franco-West German study for an advanced trainer, the Alpha Jet was first flown on November 4th, 1977. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
