The Academy trainer craft was a type of spacecraft used by Starfleet Academy cadets.
Specifications[]
They were highly maneuverable fighter training vessels, with a standard flight speed of 80,000 kph. They were equipped with landing gear and could be piloted through an atmosphere. They featured phaser arrays, which ordinarily were disabled, and emergency transporters. (Shipyards reference: Starfleet Ships 2294 - The Future)
Cadets used these vessels for flight training and war games. The ships required just one pilot, with room for a second cadet or instructor in the second seat, plus two folded-down seats to carry rescued personnel in emergencies. They were equipped with long-range and navigational sensors, tractor beams, and impulse engines, but no warp drive. During war games, they were sometimes programmed to appear like regular starships on "enemy" sensors. They could travel up to .75 C. (Last Unicorn RPG - SA module: Starfleet Academy Handbook)
