From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Stoddard-Hamilton T-9 Stalker, also known as the Arocet AT-9, was an American military training monoplane designed and built by Stoddard-Hamilton Aircraft of Arlington, Washington and based on the Stoddard-Hamilton Glasair III.^[1]

Design and development

First flown on July 24, 1988 the Stalker is a military training version of the Glasair III, an all-composite, cantilever, low-wing monoplane. The Stalker is powered by a 420 hp (313 kW) Allison 250-B17D turboprop driving a three-bladed metal tractor propeller. It has a retractable tricycle landing gear and the enclosed cockpit has two seats side-by-side with dual controls and a zero/zero pilot extraction system. The Stalker has two underwing hardpoints outboard of the landing gear for military ordnance.^[1] The prototype was destroyed in a fatal accident on May 29, 1989.
