History: The Aerial Innovation AI-24 (T-46 Terrarana under U.S.A.F. Designation) was an alternitive to the T-6A Texan II, allowing inexperianced pilots to be trained in a more efficent and quick manner. This variant seen here is the T-46(E), the E stands for "Early", the E did not have pylon support for the wings. Considering this, it did not stop other developing Air forces to make the modification to these allowing it to be a light attack aircraft. (I MIGHT MAKE A FULL COCKPIT VERSION)
Performance: The Performance is very competitive overall, the Agility is great and the Maneuverability is great as well. It will win a One circle fight against non-TVC jets and will win most Two circle fights against non-TVC jets, the only examples that it won't win Two Circle against would be the American F-16 and F-14.
Takeoff and Landing: The Take off is incredibly straightforward and simple. Landing is tricky, Landing must be conducted at 120mph (193 kph) with flaps 75% down, the height of the landing gear makes the aircraft extremely easy to bounce and flip if you land at high speeds.
