Ряд современных УТС, например Pilatus PC-21, оснащены сложными программируемыми системами управления полетом, позволяющими моделировать особенности пилотирования самолетов разного класса и выполнение различных боевых задач. В этом полете экипаж PC-21 отрабатывает групповой ракетный воздушный бой с наведением от РЛС, хотя сам самолет выполняет одиночный полет и не имеет РЛС.

PC-21 может развивать максимальную скорость полета до 685 км/ч и выполнять маневры с перегрузками +8,0/-4,0 g, что делает его одним из лучших одномоторных турбовинтовых самолетов в мире. Скорость же крена может превышать 200° в секунду.

Pilatus claims the PC-21's flying cost per hour is about 40 times cheaper than that of a modern fighter, helping air forces download training from more expensive lead-in fighter trainers.
