The Venga TG-10 Brushfire was a military trainer aircraft developed in Canada in the late 1980s.[1][2] The sole prototype was destroyed in a fire without having flown. The TG-10 was a low-wing, single-engine jet with seating in tandem for the pilot and instructor.[2] In general layout, it resembled the Northrop F-5 but had twin, outwardly-canted tail fins.[2] Construction was of composite materials throughout.[2][3] Announced to the public at the 1987 Paris Air Show,[4] the key selling point of the design was its low cost,[3] offering the performance of competing jet trainers at the cost of a turboprop trainer.[4] Venga Aerospace claimed letters of interest from five countries, involving up to 160 aircraft.[5] A single-seat ground-attack version[2][3] and a UAV version[6] were also considered. Venga hoped to be able to enter the design in the USAF's JPATS competition,[7] but this did not transpire. Finance proved an ongoing problem for the project,[3] despite a partnership with Chinese firm Baosteel announced in 1994,[8] as the first prototype was nearing completion. At the time, Venga still claimed "soft orders" for 86 aircraft from five customers.[5] The aircraft was destroyed in a fire in May 1998,[9] and no further work was undertaken.[10] However, as recently as 2004, Venga hoped to relaunch the project.[6] Specifications (prototype, as designed){{aerospecs|ref=Jane's All the World's Aircraft 1987–88, p.35 |met or eng?=met |crew=Two, pilot and instructor |capacity= |length m=11.89 |length ft=39 |length in=0 |span m=8.23 |span ft=27 |span in=0 |swept m= |swept ft= |swept in= |rot number= |rot dia m= |rot dia ft= |rot dia in= |dia m= |dia ft= |dia in= |width m= |width ft= |width in= |height m=4.04 |height ft=13 |height in=3 |wing area sqm=12.5 |wing area sqft=135 |swept area sqm= |swept area sqft= |rot area sqm= |rot area sqft= |volume m3= |volume ft3= |aspect ratio= |wing profile= |empty weight kg=1,288 |empty weight lb=2,840 |gross weight kg=2,645 |gross weight lb=5,832 |lift kg= |lift lb= |eng1 number=1 |eng1 type=General Electric J85-GE-5 |eng1 kw=13.0 |eng1 hp=2,925 |eng1 kn= |eng1 lbf= |eng1 kn-ab= |eng1 lbf-ab= |eng2 number= |eng2 type= |eng2 kw= |eng2 hp= |eng2 kn= |eng2 lbf= |eng2 kn-ab= |eng2 lbf-ab= |max speed kmh=899 |max speed mph=558 |max speed mach= |cruise speed kmh= |cruise speed mph= |stall speed kmh= |stall speed mph= |range km=1,760 |range miles=1,094 |endurance h= |endurance min= |ceiling m= |ceiling ft= |g limits= |roll rate= |glide ratio= |climb rate ms=35.6 |climb rate ftmin=7,000 |sink rate ms= |sink rate ftmin= |armament1=One centreline and four underwing pylons, each with capacity of 180 kg (400 lb)[5] |armament2= |armament3= |armament4= |armament5= |armament6= }}{{aircontent |see also= |related= |similar aircraft= |lists= }} Notes1. ^Taylor 1989, p.947 2. ^1 2 3 4 Jane's All the World's Aircraft 1987–88 p. 34 3. ^1 2 3 Hatch 1988, p.56 4. ^1 "Venga unveiled" 1987, p.11 5. ^1 2 Air International May 1994, p.281. 6. ^1 "Venga Enters Development Agreement with ACWI to Provide Flight and Combat Support Services for U.S. Military" 2004 7. ^"USAF starts work on trainer requirement" 1989, p.13 8. ^"China/Canada sign for trainer venture" 1994, p.11 9. ^"Venga settles fire lawsuit" 2004 10. ^Venga 2007, p.2 References
