The TS-11 Iskra is a Polish jet trainer aircraft, used by the air forces of Poland and India. It is notable as the main trainer plane of the Polish Army, the oldest jet plane still in service in Poland - and one of the most reliable.
The TS-11 Iskra is an all-metal jet trainer plane, conventional in layout. Its wings are trapezoid-shaped, with the leading edge swept at small angle. The single jet engine has an exhaust under a boom with tail fin, which gives the plane an unusual silhouette. The two crewmen have ejector seats. The aircraft has no radar (apart from the TS-11R), but it can be fitted with photo cameras.
This album of detailed photographs is invaluable for the modeller or enthusiast alike.
