Upgraded Orlik Trainer Unveiled
Airbus Defence and Space unveiled the Orlik MPT, an upgrade of the PZL-130 Orlik (eaglet) trainer that first flew 30 years ago.
Poland’s Orlik trainer has been around since the mid-1980s, but the latest MPT version, seen here during its unveiling this week, is tailored for training pilots for fourth- and fifth-generation fighters. (Photo: Airbus Defence and Space)
