Which aircraft is Small and has two jet engines with a TAS of 460+?

• A. Talon AT-38
• B. Boeing 717-200
• C. Boeing 757-300
• D. Canadair Jet CRJ200

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is matching a small, twin-jet aircraft that can sustain a true airspeed of 460 knots or more. The Talon AT-38 fits that profile: it’s a compact two-engine jet trainer, designed to combine high performance with a small airframe, so it easily meets or exceeds the 460+ knot cruise capability for something of its size.

The other options are not the same match. The Boeing 717-200 and Boeing 757-300 are larger airliners, not described as small. The Canadair CRJ200 is indeed a twin-jet and small, but its typical cruise speed isn’t the defining 460+ knot level used in this description, so it doesn’t align with the stated criteria as clearly as the AT-38 does.
