At number 4 we have The Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano also named ALX or A-29B, which is a Brazilian turboprop light attack aircraft designed and built by Embraer as a development of the Embraer EMB 312 Tucano.

It began being Produced in the year 2003 and is still produced to this day! it has a unit cost ranging from US 9 million to 18 million.

NEXT at number 3 is The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was used by the Royal Air Force and other Allied countries before, during, and after World War II.

Coming in at number 2 we have the PC-21 which is a turboprop-powered advanced trainer manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft of Switzerland. Pilatus claimed to have designed the aircraft students in mind.
