Aerospace Airtrainer CT4 (New Zealand)

   In 1974 Aero Engine Services Ltd purchased the Aircruiser lightplane from Victa Ltd of Australia. It was then decided to produce a military trainer version of the aircraft. Consequently it was re­designed and restressed to make it suitable for aerobatic flying with limits of +6 and - 3g and renamed the Airtrainer GT4. Other changes from the original Victa Airtourer included a hinged clear perspex cockpit canopy, side-by-side seating for two persons with an optional third seat at rear and stick-type control columns. A prototype CT4 flew for the first time on 23 February 1972. On 1 April 1973 AESL and Air Parts amalgamated to form New Zealand Aerospace Industries Ltd. The Royal Thai Air Force ordered 24 Airtrainers, The Royal Australian Air Force 37 and the RNZAF 13, plus one later (designated CT4B).
