A modular jet trainer aircraft which can be reconfigured to provide a plurality of different handling aircraft particularly beneficial in the training of pilots. A base structure on which elements can be changed to alter the handling capabilities, maneuverability and power of the aircraft. The aircraft may have a first basic configuration which enables a pilot to learn relatively basic handling skills. The propulsions system and/or wing structures can then be changed to provide an aircraft with more sophisticated handling and greater power capabilities. The engine is located fully outside the fuselage structure whilst still being positioned on the centre-line of the fuselage and with the engine's line of thrust directed through the centre of the fuselage and close to the aircraft's centre of gravity. By achieving this, the expensive design of the fuselage as primary or airworthy-critical structure can be completed independently from the installation of the engine.
