WRITING JAVIER GALLEGO DE LA SACRISTANA ELVIRA

  Nowadays, airplanes are being more important in society due to the fact that they are the fastest way of transport, but they can be made for many uses. This writing is about the 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 the 60's 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 Hornet or the new Eurofighter.

Making a short mechanical and aerodynamic description of it, we can establish that it is a turbojet plane, with a maximum speed of seventy hundred kilometres per hour, two places in the cabin, one for the teacher and the other for the student. It has three flaps positions for take off, landing and flight, with a strong landing gear to support this velocity 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 pc-21 Pilatus , the model used by a lot of european countries to train his pilots.
