Dart Jet Introduces Modular Trainer
UK company Dart Jet has schemed a new modular concept for training aircraft.

Dart Jet has unveiled a new training aircraft concept that it believes answers the needs of future military pilot training but at reduced development and maintenance cost, and with increased export potential, compared with current designs. The company is now seeking investment and partners to take the concept into detailed design and engineering.

Developed by Tristan Crawford with input from RAF pilots, UK Trade & Investment and Fielding Aerospace Consultants, the Dart is a modular system that employs a core common fuselage and center wing box, to which can be added wings, cockpit, engine, empennage and landing gear applicable to the intended role and customer requirements. The single-engined Dart can be powered by a range of widely available engines in the 3,500- to 6,200-pound-thrust range.
