T-38A“禽爪”超音速教练机是美国诺斯罗普公司研制的双发教练机。50年代中期，美空军需要一种性能先进的教练机取代T-33教练机，促生了T-38A。“禽爪”于1959年试飞，1961年3月服役。由1961年至1972年停产，美军共部署了超过1100架此型飞机。主要的用户是美国空中教练司令部，用于训练飞行员学员。空中攻击司令部、空军后勤司令部和国家航空航天局也都是T-38A的用户。

The two General Electric J85-GE-5 turbojet engines with afterburners powered the T-38A. The thrust is 2,680 pounds, 3,850 with afterburners. The T-38A needs as little as 2,300 feet (695.2 meters) of runway to take off and can climb from sea level to nearly 30,000 feet (9,068 meters) in one minute. 2206l fuel is carried inside the fuselage. The avionics include AN/ARC-34X radio, AN/ARN-65 TACAN, AN/APX-64 IFF, AN/AIC-18 crew voice communicator, AN/ARN-58 landing system, etc.

T-38A由两台通用电气J85-GE-5涡扇加力发动机推动。发动机推力1215千克，加力推力1746千克。T-38A只需要695.2米长的跑道即可起飞，能在1分钟内爬升到9068米的高空。机内载2206升燃油。机载设备包括AN/ARC-34X无线电、AN/ARN-65“塔康”导航系统，AN/APX-64敌我识别器, AN/AIC-18机组通话器，AN/ARN-58着陆系统。

The Talons are used in a variety because of the wonderful design, economy of operations, ease of maintenance, high performance and exceptional safety record. The T-38A has swept wings, a streamlined fuselage and tricycle landing gear with a steerable nose wheel. In the pressurized, air-conditioned cockpit, the instructor and student sit in tandem on rocket-powered ejection seats. In the fuselage there are two independent hydraulic systems power the ailerons, rudder and other flight control surfaces. Critical components are waist high and can be easily reached by maintenance crews.
