T-34C Turbo Mentor
The T-34C aircraft is an unpressurized two-place, tandem cockpit low-wing single-engine monoplane manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company (Formally Beech Aircraft), Wichita, Kansas. The aircraft is powered by a Model PT6A-25 turbo-prop engine manufactured by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft of Canada. The primary mission of the T-34C is to provide primary flight training for student pilots attached to the Chief of Naval Air Training. As a secondary mission, approximately 10% of the aircraft provide pilot proficiency and other aircraft support services to AIRLANT, AIRPAC, and NAVAIR "satellite sites" operated throughout CONUS.

The T-34C aircraft was procured as a commercial-derivative aircraft certified under an FAA Type Certificate. Throughout its life, the aircraft has been operated and commercially supported by the Navy using FAA processes, procedures and certifications. It continues to be maintained commercially at all levels of maintenance, and relies on COTS/NDI components and equipment to support airworthiness. Aircraft modification efforts are "turnkey" projects (procurement and installation) implemented as part of competitively awarded maintenance contracts. Where extensive integration efforts are required, the non-recurring engineering phase, including test and certification, is typically performed by Raytheon Aircraft Company under a sole-source engineering contract with the Navy.

T-34這型教練機原先分別有A跟B型各400餘架服役於美國空軍和海軍,這兩型T-34都是用活塞引擎的機種,在1973年由美國海軍提出改良需求後由Beech公司改裝並配上P&W PT6A-25的渦輪引擎而定名為T-34C.在這個最大動力達715hp的引擎推動下,T-34C可以達到

最大平飛速率: 400 KM/H

海平面爬昇率: 540 m/分

實用昇限: 9150 m

最大航程: 1310 KM



中華民國空軍共採購了44架的T-34C於1985年開始在空軍官校服役,擔任官校飛行學員的初級和中級飛行訓練機種.擔任過這個任務的機種的曾經有T-28還有改裝渦輪引擎的中興號.可以說是在中華民國空軍飛行員的養成中扮演很重要的角色
