Certains avions d'entraînement sont des versions biplaces d'avions de combat et peuvent être rapidement reconvertis en avions de reconnaissance ou de combat s'il est nécessaire en cas d'urgence, ce qui économiquement peut être avantageux pour de plus petites armées de l'air.
Comme les coûts de développement des avions ont augmenté de manière conséquente à cause de la sophistication des systèmes et de l'amélioration de la sécurité, peu d'avions ont tendance à être conçus spécialement pour l'entraînement.
Actuellement, pour des raisons de sécurité et de rentabilité, la plupart des entraînements se déroulent dans des simulateurs au sol.
