X-316 / Chase Caipirinha Trainer proposal
Ducky, Chase's entry to the joint ADF/ATC phase-I trainer competition, was given the code name Caipirinha. Caipirinha is a compact twin boom powered by ducted contra rotating props. Using a ducted fan gave jet-like handling at an economical price, in addition to improvements in noise reduction and safety. Though a promising design, Caipirinha's mechanical nightmare of an engine and a few disagreements between Chase executives and the ADF has essentially ended it's run in the trainer competition.
Chase developed Ducky into a lighter, less complex and maintenance intensive single prop for the civilian market, and a jet powered prototype which was submitted to the ever-changing ADF/ATC phase-II trainer program.
