The twin engines and flying characteristics of the T-37B give student pilots the feel for handling the larger,
faster T-38 Talon or T-1A Jayhawk later in the JSUPT. The instructor and student sit side by side for more effective training.
The cockpit has dual controls, ejection seats and a clamshell-type canopy that can be jettisoned.
The T-37B has a hydraulically operated speed brake, tricycle landing gear and a steerable nose wheel. Six rubber-cell,
interconnected fuel tanks in each wing feed the main tank in the fuselage. The T-37B has improved radio navigational equipment,
UHF radio and redesigned instrument panels.
Students from 12 North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries train in T-37B's at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas.
