On November 10, 2025, SAFE Structure Designs, a premier defense contractor known for producing ergonomic and safety-oriented support equipment, announced its recent success in securing multiple contracts aimed at bolstering the maintenance and overhaul program for the U.S. Air Force's T-38 Talon aircraft. These contracts involve the detailed design, engineering, and manufacturing of specialized tooling and test stands crucial for the aircraft's upkeep.
The U.S. Air Force's T-38 Talon has been a vital component in pilot training and is integral to ensuring operational readiness. However, many of the legacy tools required for maintenance had fallen into disrepair or had become obsolete. Recognizing the urgency of modernizing these critical resources, SAFE Structure Designs has committed to rebuilding essential equipment, which is fundamental for carrying out accurate testing, calibration, and maintenance of the T-38's engines, transmissions, and various other vital components.
This initiative is particularly significant as it directly supports Yulista Integrated Solutions, the recent recipient of the T-38 Talon Repair, Inspection, and Maintenance (TRIM) program. Yulista's decision to partner with SAFE Structure Designs was informed by a comprehensive review process where SAFE's reputation for excellence, adherence to a certified quality management system, and a proven track record of delivering precise results at competitive prices distinguished the company.
"We are greatly appreciative of the chance to collaborate with both Yulista and the United States Air Force," expressed the President and CEO of SAFE Structure Designs. He emphasized the company's commitment to integrity and excellence, stating that every project is seen as a vital calling to create tools and systems that not only facilitate maintenance but also protect the lives of those who serve the nation.
SAFE's operations are governed by an AS9100-certified quality program, which ensures that projects are completed with remarkable efficiency, often ahead of schedule and under budget. This announcement marks a continuation of the long-standing and successful relationship between SAFE Structure Designs and Yulista, grounded in a mutual dedication to precision and unwavering service to the military. Together, they have supported numerous branches of the U.S. Department of Defense, including the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, consistently providing innovative, safe, and efficient maintenance solutions across various aircraft.
