"It runs a US made engine but otherwise is entirely designed in EU." - so unlikely to be UK or France. Designed but not necessarily built in the EU - that takes out Switzerland, Russia, Turkey
most places design is really important -

sounds liek the T-X programme
we have a winner!
Bielik, the white tail eagle in English. After trials it never really got on its wings so only one was built with General Electric CJ610-6 engine. Fast forward 15 years and Poland chose the South Korean KAI T-50 Golden Eagle as their future jet trainer. Not that the Bielik would've ever been a real contestor but at least that's what it was built for.
All yours Noyade!

Thanks for that Beamr. I started googling 'new jet trainers' with various countries attached. I'm amazed what's out there that I've never seen before. There was a time when you could walk out of your local bookshop with the latest information on current military/civil aircraft - but those inexpensive books are gone, and so is the bookshop.
Whatever you do don't Google "jack Here"!!!

Well, seems to be a reluctance to answer this one so I'll aver it's a Boeing YL-15 Scout...

Cheers Noyade, this was hithertoo unknown to me, tho apparently I've seen an earlier creation by the same designer.
I've seen this in a museum - the undercarriage is a real memory - so won't spoil the fun - but the designer was an interesting bloke.
