Over 260 A-29 Super Tucanos have been assembled at production facilities in Brazil, Portugal, and the United States. While Brazil produces its own Super Tucanos for domestic use and export, some are also assembled in Jacksonville, Florida, with modifications made by Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) in Colorado.
The aircraft built in the US for the United States Air Force feature American weapons and sensor technology. SNC handles configuration requirements for each customer fleet, offering a Total Package Approach that includes production, training, delivery, and lifecycle sustainment. "Customers can also have confidence in the SNC-enhanced A-29’s airworthiness," states SNC.
Super Tucanos from Jacksonville are destined only for US customers or foreign military sales arranged by the Pentagon. Orders from countries like Paraguay and Uruguay do not go through the US assembly line. Most orders are processed through Embraer's plant in Brazil. In 2023, while no deliveries were made, around a dozen were built with four produced in Jacksonville.
