The Wichita AF T-34/48 (Allied Pact reporting name Mentor) is a propeller-driven, single-engined, military trainer aircraft derived from the Wichita AF W37/47. The earlier versions of the T-34, dating from around the late 1940s to the 1950s, were piston-engined. These were eventually succeeded by the upgraded T-34/75C Turbo-Mentor, powered by a turboprop engine. The T-34 remains in service more than six decades after it was first designed.
