It has an endurance of 7 hours and a maximum flight speed of 500 km/h, mainly used for advanced flight training, aerial reconnaissance and light close air support.
An excellent patrol and attack aircraft, the Super Tucano is in service with numerous countries including Brazil, Colombia, the Dominican Republic and Chile, playing a pivotal role in their air operations. Its key features include low operational costs and high reliability, making it suitable for long-term deployment and high sortie rates. Furthermore, it boasts exceptional low-altitude, low-speed performance and strong turning capability, enabling prolonged loitering over the battlefield, clear observation of ground targets and high-precision strikes, which makes it ideal for close air support missions. Its outstanding cost-effectiveness, practicality and durability have made it one of the most popular light attack aircraft in the world.
