BEECHCRAFT T-34 MENTOR

摘要

Developed as a derivative of the Beech Bonanza, the T-34 Mentor trainer might have been built with a V-tail if Walter Beech had his way. But with the military having the final say, the T-34 incorporated a conventional tail to go with a narrow fuselage, bubble canopy and tandem seating. The result is an enduring U.S. military primary trainer that occupies a place in history alongside icons such as the Piper L-4 Grasshopper and North American T-6 as the piston airplanes that taught fighting men to fly in both the Navy and Air Force.
