Canadair CT-114 Tutor

The Canadair CT-114 Tutor, company model CL-41, is a single-engine turbojet jet trainer designed and built by Canadair, which served as the standard jet trainer of the Royal Canadian Air Force and then the Canadian Armed Forces from the early 1960s until 2000. Canadair began it as a private venture, with the basic layout of a low-wing, side-by-side two-seat trainer settled by August 1957. The prototype first flew on 13 January 1960 with a Pratt and Whitney JT12A-5 engine, and production aircraft used a General Electric J85. In September 1961 the government ordered 190 CL-41A aircraft, which became the CT-114. It has a top speed at altitude of 795 km/h and manual flight controls, and aircraft fitted with smoke generators flew with the Snowbirds display team. The CL-41G served the Royal Malaysian Air Force as a ground-attack aircraft, and the Canadian trainer role later passed to the Hawk and the Harvard II.
