A Jet trainer is typically a turbofan or turbojet powered training aircraft, intended either for general aviation flying training or for more advanced jet aircraft training. Jet trainers are typically divided into civilian and military, and custom designs versus versions of existing aircraft. The phrase can be used to imply a trainer for jets, not to be confused with aircraft that are "jet trainers", e.g. aircraft with a jet turbine engine designed for pilot training.
