There is no such thing. Cessna makes light attack aircraft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_A-37_Dragonfly) and variants of its unarmed aircraft for tasks like forward air control and reconnaissance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_O-2_Skymaster) Beechcraft (formerly a Raytheon subdivision) makes utility aircraft (usually variants of civilian models), trainers, and target drones. They also have a light attack variant (AT-6) of one of their trainers, which as far as I know has not managed to get adopted; and have proposed a from-scratch jet-powered light attack aircraft as part of a USAF competition. EDIT: And they also use this class of commercial jetliners; the main USAF mid-air refueler is a 767 variant, and the military has a dozen or so C-40s (a 737 variant) for logistics and airborne command posts. |
