ABSTRACT:
This invention generally concerns an aircraft useful for training pilots, and specifically involves providing a trainer aircraft having high to moderate aspect ratio wings with selectively operable design features that impart to the trainer aircraft the handling characteristics of a high performance, swept wing aircraft in an approach and landing configuration. In particular, the high performance swept wing aircraft characteristics are preferably imparted by selectively actuated primary and secondary speed brake mechanisms. Optimally, the primary speed brake mechanism is positioned as a function of angle of attack of the aircraft.
