Fuji T-5

The Fuji T-5, also called the KM-2Kai, is a Japanese turboprop-driven primary trainer developed by Fuji Heavy Industries from the piston-engined KM-2 for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, with the student and instructor seated side by side. Fuji refitted a KM-2 with an Allison Model 250 turboprop, the KM-2D, which first flew on 28 June 1984, and the KM-2Kai added a modernised cockpit and a sliding canopy. Ordered in March 1987, with deliveries beginning in 1988, 40 were built and they serve with the 201 Air Training Squadron at Ozuki; the T-5 is an all-metal low-wing monoplane with a 261 kW Allison 250-B17D turboprop and a three-bladed constant-speed propeller.
