Short Tucano
The Short Toucan is a British tandem-seat turboprop primary trainer that first flew on February 14, 1986, and entered service in 1989 with the RAF.
It is a licensed version of the Brazilian Embraer EMB-312 Tucano built by Short Brothers of Belfast, Northern Ireland, to replace the Jet Provost with the RAF. The aircraft handles like a jet aircraft and is aerobatic.
It differs from the Embraer with a Garrett turboprop replacing the Pratt and Whitney, increasing performance. The cockpit layout is similar to the Hawk advanced trainer. Export customers include Kenya and Kuwait. The Kuwait Air Force Tucanos are combat-capable with four underwing pylons.
