WRITING 1 IGNACIO RUIZ BECERRO

 CASA-C101

 Nowadays, airplanes are being more important in society due the fact that they are the fastest way of transport, but they can be able for many uses apart of this. Today I,m writing about the CASA C-101, the airplane that spanish air force uses to train his new pilots

Starting with the history of this plane, it has been used since 1960 in the AGA and in a small group in Salamanca, having in both places the same utility, train pilots than in a future would defend our air space with better planes such as F-18 or the new Eurofighter.

Making a short mechanical and aerodinamic description of it, we can establish that is a turbojet plane, with a maximun speed of seventy hundreed kilometres per hour, two places in cabin, one for the teacher and the other for the student. It has three flap´s positions for take off, landing and flight, with a strong landing gear to suport this velocities in the , and also a lot of alirones all over the plane.

Taking all of this into account, it is the perfect airplane trainer in Spain but it has made almost all of his flight hours, so it will be replaced in one year for the Pilatus pc-21, the model used by a lot of european countries to train his pilots.
