Travis Tyler, president and CEO, Textron Aviation Defense, and Steve Helmer, flight test pilot, discuss the Beechcraft M-346N and its potential role in the U.S. Navy's Undergraduate Jet Training System program. Developed in collaboration with Leonardo, the M-346N is designed to help train the next generation of naval aviators.
Combining a proven aircraft with a comprehensive training environment, the M-346N integrates simulators, aircraft and live virtual constructive training to deliver realistic, mission-focused learning scenarios. The system is designed to increase training efficiency while preparing students for advanced fighter aircraft.
It's not just an aircraft, but we think about it as a total system that is specifically engineered to produce the best possible aviators.Travis Tyler, president and CEO, Textron Aviation Defense
