The Short Tucano is a two-seat turboprop basic trainer built by Short Brothers in Belfast, Northern Ireland, a licence-built version of the Brazilian Embraer EMB 312 Tucano. Development began in May 1984. The prototype flew in Brazil on 14 February 1986 and was delivered to Shorts as a pattern aircraft, modified to meet Royal Air Force requirements and used for trials and demonstrations. The first Short-assembled aircraft flew on 30 December 1986, deliveries to the RAF began in June 1988 and the last example was completed in 1995. The RAF was the main operator, with export sales to Kenya and Kuwait, and the type was withdrawn from RAF service on 25 October 2019 and replaced by the Beechcraft T-6C.
