The evolution of a superior aircraft.

When Embraer introduced the Tucano twenty years ago, it completely revolutionized the concept of trainer and light attack aircraft. Today, the Super Tucano continues this revolution. A single-engine, multi-purpose military aircraft, the Super Tucano is the perfect combination of turboprop efficiency and fourth-generation avionics and armament systems. It delivers both training

and operational effectiveness at low acquisition and operating costs. Used for basic/advanced training, light attack and weapons familiarization, the Super Tucano embodies excellence in every aspect of its design, making it a favorite of air forces around the world.

The anatomy of a fighter.

Its jet-like performance is powered by a 1,600 SHP, FADEC-controlled PWC PT6A-68C Pratt & Whitney turboprop engine, while the Super Tucanos airframe has been designed with the latest generation technology and computer-aided tools to withstand +7G/-3.5G loads. The aircrafts structure is corrosion-protected, and the side-hinged canopy has a windshield capable of withstanding a bird strike at 270 kts. Two versions of the Super Tucano are offered, including a two-seater with endurance of more than four hours with a standard load of weapons, and a single-seater with an additional 80-gallon

fuel tank behind the pilots seat. This extends max endurance by more than two hours, allowing the airplane to loiter for close to seven hours. Both versions are fitted with five underside hard points to accommodate a variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles. With a service life of 18,000 hours for typical training missions or 12,000 flying hours in operational environments, depending on mission loads and utilization, the Super Tucano is a high-performance aircraft whose operational costs are low due to improved logistics, enhanced system reliability and state-of-the-art engineering.

The ultimate human-machine interface.

The all-glass cockpit of the Super Tucano provides a fourth-generation Human-Machine Interface (HMI) designed to minimize pilot workload by optimizing all tasks (tracking, interception, support, etc.). The state-of-the-art avionics suite includes: Full Hands-On Throttle and Stick (HOTAS) technology Laser INS with GPS Navigational System Computerized Attack Modes (CCIP, CCRP, CCIL, etc.) Head-Up Display (HUD) with Up-Front Control Panel (UFCP) Two liquid crystal Active Matrixes Color Multi-Function Displays (CMFD)

Integrated Radio Communication and Navigation Tactical V/UHF with provisions for data links Video Camera/Recorder Automatic Pilot with embedded mission planning capability ForwardLooking Infrared (FLIR) Provisions for night-vision goggles The Super Tucano also features innovations such as an environmental control system designed to assure crew comfort and an On-Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS). It is also equipped with Martin-Baker MK-10LCX ejection seats, featuring a three-mode ejection sequential device.

Training. Light Attack.

The Super Tucano can be configured as a Basic Trainer, Advanced Trainer or Weapons Trainer to suit customer requirements. State-of-the-art avionics and systems have been incorporated into each aircraft. Leading edge in-flight virtual simulation technology allows student pilots to increase their mission effectiveness and information management and situational awareness skills to cope with the new operational scenarios ahead. The complete customized virtual radar training can be managed through an embedded data-link system that also handles virtual RWR (Radar Warning Receiver), ACMI (Air Combat Maneuver Instrumentation) and virtual BVR (Beyond Visual Range) missiles, among other simulation features.

Tailored to operate day and night in the most hostile environments, the Super Tucano is capable of receiving and transmitting data through its state-of-the-art data-link systems. Sensor images, including target data, are readily received or relayed to Command and Control stations, both on the ground and in the air, and to other combat aircraft in the operational theater. The aircraft is fitted with a pair of .50-caliber machine guns and can be configured with additional under wing armament stations. A full range of countermeasures includes jammers, flares, chaff, armor protection and state-of-the-art provisions such as MAWS (Missile Approach Warning System) and RWR (Radar Warning Receiver).

The key to customer service.

It all boils down to a simple equation less time on the ground means more time in the air, more missions flown and fewer aircraft sidelined for maintenance during critical moments. Our customer service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from service, technical support and spare parts distribution centers in Brazil, the U.S., France, China and Singapore. A computer-based communication system, equipped with web infrastructure, interconnects all spare parts distribution and service outlets, and helps customize and speed services.

We also provide a full array of training programs for pilots, mission systems operators, mechanics and ground crews by means of full-flight simulators and computer-based, interactive classroom instruction. All of this enables customers to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their mission.
