SUPER TUCANO THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR
THREE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS
For Air Forces that need a comprehensive, low-risk solution added to great
operational flexibility, the A-29 Super Tucano delivers proven, precise, reliable, and
cost-effective combat, reconnaissance, and training answer in a single platform.
The A-29 Super Tucano is the most effective multi-mission aircraft of its category,
equipped with the latest-generation systems, including accurate targeting
identification weapons systems and a comprehensive communications suite.
Capability is enhanced further by advanced HMI avionics systems integrated with a
rugged airframe capable of operating from unpaved runways, with high levels of active
and passive survivability features.
