Short Tucano

A procedural model built in Blender from the type’s published dimensions, painted as ZF448, the Yorkshire Air Museum’s Short Tucano T.1, built by Shorts in Belfast for the RAF, flown by No. 1 Flying Training School and No. 72 (Reserve) Squadron and as the RAF Tucano Display Team aircraft, and on display at Elvington since December 2024: the RAF’s basic jet-pilot trainer of 1989 to 2019, a Belfast-built development of the Embraer EMB-312, 37 ft in span, with one Garrett TPE331 turboprop driving a four-bladed Hartzell propeller, a low straight wing, tandem seats under a one-piece stepped canopy with the instructor raised behind the student, a ventral airbrake and thin strakes along the rear fuselage running into the tailplane roots, shown standing on its tricycle undercarriage at its slight nose-up ground attitude: gloss black overall with a white spinner, black propeller blades with white bands and tips, a white ‘448’ on the nose and fin, roundels and ‘ZF448’ on the rear fuselage, a fin flash, yellow wedges at the upper wing roots, red ejection-seat triangles under the canopy and ‘Royal Air Force Tucano Display Team’ on the starboard side, as displayed (the upper-wing markings follow a single overhead photograph, the undersides are left plain black because no photograph shows them, and the pitot under the port wing tip is assumed).
