The United States Air Force issued a requirement in\u00a01952<\/strong>\u00a0for a jet-powered primary trainer, and Texas Engineering and Manufacturing Company (Temco) responded with the Temco model 51 Pinto TT1. Powered by a Continental J69-T-9<\/a> turbojet, the Pinto was a tricycle-geared mid-wing cantilever monoplane, with tandem seating for the instructor and student in an enclosed cockpit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First flown on 26 March of 1956<\/strong>, the prototype was tested by the U. S. Navy, which subsequently ordered 14 of the aircraft under the designation TT-1, to study the feasibility of using jet aircraft for primary training. No additional TT-1 Pinto aircraft were manufactured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also under development in response to the 1952 Air Force requirement was the Cessna T-37, a primary jet trainer powered by two Continental J69-T-9 turbojets, instead of the Pinto’s one. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

That aircraft was accepted by the Air Force, with two prototypes being ordered, the first of which flew in October of 1954.\u00a0Thus, in a situation where Temco appears to have entered the competition with too little, too late, the TT-1 Pinto had a very limited life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
