AT-6 WOLVERINE

With superior speed, climb rate and short field takeoff capability, the AT-6 Wolverine® eclipses the competition and delivers

responsive support when and where it's needed. The warfighter quickly eliminates challenges while on target using precise

battlefield effects such as advanced smart bombs, missiles and rockets. Featuring the world-class mission computer of the

A-10, automated self-protection, the latest in information sharing and target sensing/engagement, and an advanced digital

EO/IR sensor proven by the U.S. Air Force, the AT-6 Wolverine offers persistent, efficient and effective power to win the fight.
Since opening its doors in 1932, Beechcraft has delivered more than 14,500 aircraft to armed forces worldwide, including 7,400 for Allied

Forces during World War II alone. From this heritage comes the AT-6 Wolverine, with over 3.2 million flight hours across a fleet of nearly 1,000

aircraft. The AT-6 Wolverine is outfitted with a fiercely powerful Pratt & Whitney engine, a full complement of self-protection measures, a

combat communications suite, an advanced ISR targeting pod adopted from the U.S. Air Force, a superior array of light attack weapons and a

mission system from the venerable A-10C.
