| Shorts Tucano for FS2004 - Version 2 - Updated 2 April 06 |
| Quote from the RAF
website "The Tucano was selected in 1985 to replace the RAF's Jet Provost
basic flying training aircraft which had been in service since 1955.
Some seventy percent cheaper to operate than the Jet Provost, the Tucano used by the RAF differs from the version originally developed by Embraer of Brazil and used by many air forces across the globe. The main difference is the engine - the RAF choosing a Garrett turboprop over the standard Pratt and Whitney powerplant. This increased performance but did cause a number of problems which delayed the entry into service for the Tucano. Other changes included a cockpit layout similar to that of the Hawk advanced trainer and strengthened airframe." This model was produced in FSDS V3 |
