A question-- why haven't any CAS aircrarft been designed with
turboprops or the pusher varient (I foreget what you call it)?
The Argentinian Pucara is/was a CAS aircraft with turboprops.
The Pucara is usually denoted a COIN (Counter insurgency) aircraft.
Flying one around a modern battlefield is going to be unhealthy.
Absolutely, which demonstrates nicely why turboprops aren't used in CAS
aircraft
