In the 1960s, military trainers had to step up their game to keep pace with the increasingly complex fighter aircraft. A tiny German company created a military trainer jet that wasn't really a jet. Meet the Fan Trainer, an aircraft that mimicked fighter jets but was powered by a ducted fan instead of a traditional jet engine. This unique design offered the agility of a jet with much lower operating costs, captivating aviation enthusiasts for decades and now making a remarkable comeback!

As fighter aircraft became more sophisticated and expensive in the nineteen sixties, advanced military trainers followed suit. New planes like the Northrop T-38, the Mitsubishi T-2, and the SEPECAT Jaguar were developed to meet the rising demands placed on new pilots. These fledgling aviators faced a steep learning curve, moving from basic piston-engine trainers to advanced jet trainers, which created a notable capability gap. Addressing this gap became a priority, leading to the birth of a new class of jet trainer aircraft.
