This could go either way. It's all dependent on whether someone wants to buy what this offers.

 

I am struggling though to see how this fits in the global market. Seems like in performance it competes with turboprops but with it being a 'jet' they are trying to compete against the variety of advanced jet trainers capable of much higher performance.

I agree with wahubna, the Super Tucano I think is a better airplane for that mission, but being a jet that should be faster and more heavily armed. BTW it looks a bit like the Alphajet isn't it?

Now that you mentioned it yeah it does have a bit of an Alpha Jet look to it.

 

If Textron can make it as cheap as they claim and as easy to operate as they claim then it might be a hot ticket.

 

Isn't the USAF looking for a new jet trainer or are they still requiring supersonic capability?
