Short Tucano T MK1 Military Trainer Aircraft

The Tucano was originally developed by Embraer of Brazil, when the Tucano T1 was selected in 1985 to replace the RAF's Jet Provost for basic flying training, Short strengthened the airframe and replaced the standard Pratt and Whitney power-plant with the more powerful Garrett turboprop. The operational cost of the Short Tucano T1 is less than one third of that of the old (1955) Jet Provost it replaced.
