The story
The PC-21 is an advanced turboprop trainer that mimics the handling and cockpit of a modern jet fighter — letting air forces train pilots at a fraction of the cost of flying real jets.
Fun fact
Its avionics can simulate radar, weapons, and even enemy aircraft, so student pilots 'fight' virtual battles before ever touching a real fighter.
