Embraer EMB 312 / T-27 Tucano Family
The Embraer EMB 312 Tucano is a tandem-seat turboprop trainer developed in Brazil to give student pilots handling, cockpit layout, and systems closer to advanced aircraft than earlier basic trainers. Its raised rear seat, ejection seats, retractable landing gear, endurance, and low-speed stability influenced later trainer designs. The Tucano was exported widely and also produced under license in Britain and Egypt.
