The U.S. Air Force trains pilots in two out of three types of planes: the Texan II, the Jayhawk, and the Talon

Summary

Nutrition label

78% Informative

All Joint Primary Pilot Training students on track to pilot an Air Force bomber-fighter, airlift-tanker, or a helicopter will start out in a T-6A Texan II.

The T-1A Jayhawk is designed for subsonic ( 538 miles per hour ) flights that are significantly smoother and less erratic than you'd expect from a fighter jet.

Students hoping to get behind the stick of one of the Air Force's fifth -generation or its upgraded fourth -gen fighters will move on.

The Texan II has a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-68 turbo-prop engine that can produce 1,100 horsepower.

It can climb to 18,000 feet in just under six minutes at a rate of 3,100 feet per minute.

The Air Force's trainer comes with a pressurized cockpit and an ejection seat, as well as an anti-G system.
