The RFB Fantrainer is a two-seat flight training aircraft which uses a mid mounted ducted fan propulsion system.
It was developed by Rhein-Flugzeugbau GmbH (RFB) in Germany in the late 1970s and used by the German and Thai air forces.
It won a competition in Germany beating the Pilatus PC-7 and Beechcraft Mentoras the best solution to the Luftwaffe's Basic Trainer Requirement.
However, no orders were forthcoming as Germany had committed to buying US Fighters (F4 Phantom and F-104 Starfighter) which included a deal for pilot training in the USA.Lufthansa was also interested in the aircraft due to its jet-like handling.
Users said it was fuel-efficient and silent and provided a true "jet feel" for a reasonable price.
In conjunction with the intended new production of the Fantrainer, initiated by the Fanjet Aviation GmbH in Germany, the Fantrainer 600 was renamed as "Fanjet 600".
