torpedo [carrier] (USN 1922–35), transport (USN<br />

1927–30), trainer (RAF, RN, since 1941, USN, USAF,<br />

since 1948).<br />

5 Modified mission, suffix, two-seat trainer version<br />

(USN 1946–62), prefix, trainer version (USAAF, USAF,<br />

1943 to date).<br />

6 Time of day, or in countdown, or of a sample in gust<br />

calculation. In US increasingly used in place of t(1).<br />

T 6 or T 7 Total turbine exit (outlet) temperature.<br />

T-aerial Aerial [antenna] comprising a wire from the top<br />

of the fuselage or mast to the tip of the fin, with a quasivertical<br />

connection from near mid-point to the radio<br />

installation.<br />

T-bridge Telescopic, usually means apron-drive.<br />

T-channel TDMA channel for air/ground data messages<br />

too long for R-channel (GPS).<br />

T-forces Specialized, often inter-Service, military units<br />

assigned a mission to obtain and investigate specific<br />

enemy equipment items or facilities (1944–, OSS, later<br />

CIA).<br />

T-hangar Wide front for wing, narrow rear for tail,<br />

usually arranged in two rows back-to-back to make full<br />

use of ground footprint [usually 30 × 24 ft or 40 × 30 ft].<br />

T-layer Notional top of the ionosphere.<br />
