The Mitsubishi T-2 was chosen by the Technical Research and Development
Institute(TRDI) of the Japan Defense Agency to test new technology. The
aircraft selected was the third T-2 manufactured; serial 29-5103 c/n 003. It
would be the test bed for the CCV (Control Configuration Vehicle) studies.
Fixed canards were mounted on the intakes just in front of the wings with a
movable canard under the fuselage. The objective was to study airflow to see
if such a configuration could improve maneuverability.
