The New Zealand CT-4A Airtrainer can trace its ancestry from the Australian Victa Airtourer, designed by Henry Millicer in the 1950s. The Millicer Airtourer, powered by a 65 hp Continental engine, first flew on 31 March 1959, and the production rights were then purchased by Victa Consolidated Industries.
The Victa Airtourer VH-MVA, powered by a 100 hp Continental, flew on 12 December 1961, and this was developed into the 115 hp Lycoming version which flew in September 1962. Victa produced 172 Airtourers up to the end of 1966. When the company was unable to obtain either a government subsidy or tariff protection against foreign competition, the complete project was sold to Aero Engine Services Ltd (AESL) of Hamilton, New Zealand. The four-seat Victa Aircruiser project was similarly sold to AESL in 1970.
The first AESL Airtourer, registered ZK-COW, flew in mid-1967 and was a 115 hp Airtourer designated model T2. The T3 had a 130 hp Continental, the T4 a 150 hp Lycoming with a fixed-pitch propeller, and the T5 had a constant-speed propeller. The T6 model, with an increase in weight over the T5, finished the Airtourer production at 80 aircraft, including four for the Royal New Zealand Air Force and six for the Singapore Air Force. These six T6 aircraft were later sold by Singapore and came to Australia on the civil register.
In 1969 an AESL T4, ZK-CJN, flew to Australia for RAAF evaluation. RAAF Air Staff Requirement 67, issued in May 1971, laid down the requirements for a basic trainer to replace the Winjeel, and AESL responded with a development of the Aircruiser powered by a 210 hp Continental. Known as the CT-4, the prototype, ZK-DGY, flew on 23 February 1972. The CT-4 was selected by the RAAF over the Scottish Aviation Bulldog, and the order for 37 aircraft at a cost of $3.2 million was announced on 24 July 1972. The Royal Thai Air Force, which had been awaiting the Australian choice, then ordered 24 CT-4s, and these were delivered before the RAAF batch.
