    Alternative fighter for Argentine AF & Navy during Falklands war.

    1) A slow armed trainer flying at ~350 knots is much more likely to be intercepted by Sea Harriers than a strike aircraft flying at 480-550 knots. Evidence is how the Canberras were removed from daytime strike duties after the 1st day, and the number of times Sea Harriers failed to engage...

    Italian contenders to the NMBR-1 contest

    At http://forum.worldofwarplanes.com/index.php?/topic/2539-aermacchi-mb324/ you may find an explanation what the two-seat variant of the MB.324 really was: Indeed its engine looks very small, much smaller than the DH Ghost, which was to be mounted in the Ghost-engined MB.324, so probably what...

    ...yet others seemed to drag their heels somewhat. I specifically mean for fighter/attack jets that were supersonic, not trainers such as the Aermacchi MB326. Grumman with their F11 Super Tiger and SAAB with their Draken seem to me to be the first to adopt it, with first flights in the mid/late...

    Various aviation projects from South Africa

    Just some follow up snippets of info regarding the ground attack aircraft project that was based on the Aermacchi MB-326/Impala discussed earlier. The engineer has followed up with a facebook post basically saying that when the Impala based ground attack study was stopped, a two tier follow on...

    Alternative fighter for Argentine AF & Navy during Falklands war.

    They would be knocked down as much as the A-4s and Daggers were in each encounter. But the dilemma is that there is a possibility that the Harriers will be operated in a more limited way until the MB-326s are eliminated from Port Stanley. The Harrier already suffered a lot with autonomy and...

    Alternative fighter for Argentine AF & Navy during Falklands war.

    Master, if we take the most difficult and classic mission, which would be the narrative of the attack in the open ocean on the HMS Invincible, we see that from the formation of the Super Etandard and A-4, after the firing of the Exocet, the A-4 took more than 1 minute of arrival after the...

    GL-225: Al Mooney's twin-jet transport for Lockheed

    ...M.S.760 Paris and the North American UTX proposal. Mooney went on to design two more aircraft for Lockheed: his M-22 was the Lockheed-Aermacchi L-402 or LASA-60 (designed for the Mexican market) while his final design, the M-23, was Lockheed's XV-4B Hummingbird VTOL aircraft. Of course, the...

    Alternative fighter for Argentine AF & Navy during Falklands war.

    But the Argentinian Navy started the war with 7 MB326GA originally delivered 1969-72 and 10 MB339AA delivered 1980/81. The former had already been camouflaged back in 1978 in anticipation of use in the crisis with Chile but were retained on the mainland in 1982. The latter were camouflaged in...

If I'm not mistaken Aermacchi actually quantified the weight reduction (or excess weight on the first airframe if you prefer ;) ) they achieved at some 700kg? Nevertheless, as...

    Alternative fighter for Argentine AF & Navy during Falklands war.

    Don't think of the MB-326 as a replacement for the Daggers or A-4, but rather as an alternative replacement for the Pucarás....you'll see that the logic of the battle will change completely. The Pucará was intended exclusively for the CAS...the MB-326 would do both missions. As the Pucara did...

Saying this, I would have liked to have seen New Zealand at least have retained its Aermacchi MB-339's (perhaps fitted with a basic radar), employed as a multi-role light-weight fighter.
