The Beechcraft T-6B truborpop is an improved version of the T-6A aircraft featuring an open architecture advanced avionics suite that reflects font-line fighter trends: Head-Up Display (HUD), Up Front Control Panel (UFCP), Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) and Hand On Throttle And Stick (HOTAS). The T-6B retains the low operating and maintenance costs from T-6A training system while delivering advanced concepts and skills so far only available through more expensive advanced trainers powered by turbofans.
