    Design
    Used for training undergraduate student pilots the fundamentals of aircraft handling, instrument and night flying, the MFI-17 Mushshak is fitted with blind flying instrumentation. It is propelled by a single Textron Lycoming 4 cylinder engine with one twin-blade propeller. Also used for reconnaissance, observation and transportation purposes, there are attachment points (hardpoints) under the wings for extra fuel tanks and weapons, allowing the aircraft to perform ground attack sorties.
