Video from the channel Blue Blue News about Canadair CT-114 Tutor, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 4:53. Language: English. Video type: Documentary.
Short informational piece about the Canadair CT-114 Tutor, the training jet designed and built by Canadair, whose company designation is CL-41.
It recalls that it was the standard trainer of the Royal Canadian Air Force, and later of the Canadian Armed Forces, between 1963 and 2000. A ground-attack version with underwing hardpoints, the CL-41G Tebuan, was exported to the Royal Malaysian Air Force. Today the aircraft is still flying with the Snowbirds.
Among the technical details, it cites the General Electric J85-CAN-40 turbojet built by Orenda, which replaced the Pratt & Whitney JT12A-5 of the early prototypes. It describes it as a subsonic, single-engine, low-wing trainer of all-metal construction.
