Czech airframer Aero Vodochody—which built its first aircraft in 1919—has received EU/NATO certification to EMAR 21 standards for its L-39NG new-generation trainer/light attack jet in the baseline trainer version. The program began in 2014 and the first of four prototypes flew in December 2018. The second followed a year later, while the other two performed static and fatigue testing, which the company completed in July last year.
