Italy set for Neuron tests as France completes its round. http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/italy-set-for-neuron-tests-as-france-completes-its-round-409925/

...jets. It would be interesting to see an absolutely bare-bones, single-engine, modern light jet along the lines of the Folland Gnat/HAL Ajeet in the sub-$10 million price range, I think that would really change the dynamics of the market. I wonder how much an Alenia Aermacchi M-345 actually...

...development. (...). The Mako program began in 1989 (as the AT-2000 program) as a collaboration between Dornier (since merged into EADS) and Aermacchi, which left the program in 1994. Several companies have signed memoranda of understanding regarding potential participation in the Mako effort...

Weird that this article is all over the place in terms of options. Would a twin-engine jet like the Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master or even the Textron AirLand Scorpion be that much more economical to operate than an A-10 or F-15? It seems to me that anything more elaborate than a single...

Re: Aermacchi MB.342, MB.343 & MB.344 Nico, I can't say much more that what I said some years ago (OMG, it's almost five years.. ) here: http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1132.msg9085.html#msg9085... One think I can add, told by my good friend Gianni Cattaneo: during design...

...the Cessna Model 206 Skywagon, Piper Cherokee Six and the less know American Electric Piranha. They were developed under the Project Little Brother by USAF. Another aircraft in this category is the Aermacchi AM-3C Bosbok who served with South African Air Force from the '70 to the recent years.

Don't you think the SM.99 was twin-boom like the SM.88 or twin-hull like the S.55, S.66, SM.77? Something like a SM.79 twin (bifusoliera)?

Aermacchi was an Italian aircraft manufacturer. Established originally in 1912 as the Nieuport-Macchi S.A. by Giulio Macchi at Varese in north-western Lombardy. It was later known as Aeronautica Macchi S.p.A. During the firms formative years Macchi worked closely with engine designer Vittorio...

...going if they could rather than buying subsonic replacements. There was the AMX too which fits the same bill, but again beyond the original two nations that funded it it still failed to make a major impact, which you would expect might have been likely given Aermacchi's trainer market...

I still favour the Russian and Canadian attitude on twin engines. It is better to retrieve the plane than just the pilot - especially in a war zone. *Edit* I just crunched the number and the Scorpion could theoretically haul 2800 kg of bombs - which is fairly good for its size. I guess it could...

...to, the Scorpion. Still, I think that a single-engine equivalent to the Scorpion, basically an oversized, modernized, composite Alenia Aermacchi M-311, would make more sense. Somebody needs to make the cheap bomb truck to bring the hurt once the FACs in Embraer Super Tucanos find the bad...

A really recent news and an absolute premiere for Italy: Alenia Aermacchi has been exclusively selected by Israel’s Ministry of Defence to provide M-346 aircraft for the training of Israeli Air Force (IAF) pilots. The M-346s, which will make the Israeli Air Force’ new trainers fleet, and...

Its not that surprising. In 1994, when Aermacchi left the coalition with DASA to develop advanced trainer/light combat aircraft AT-2000 (later MAKO), DASA managed to keep the program alive by partnering with Denel aviation (avionics) and Korean Hyundai (manufacturing of large non-composite...

Given that there have been tie-ins over the years between Lockheed and Aermacchi (AL-60, Lockheed choice of the MB339 for the JPATS competition, etc.), a direct Lockheed influence on the design is not totally beyond the realm of possibility, not, I'll concede, likely but by no means unthinkable.

Hmm? All the photos I've ever seen of the MB-326 prototype show it as having tandem seating and without the tip tanks.

In the 50's in general... did SIAI marchetti flew a jet aircraft in the end ? hmm Jemiba you're right :P :D

Re: Aermacchi Supersonic Trainer? PTS 2000? Before the M-346 and Mako? Ok, it took a while, and I'm convinced I have a lot of other material reagrding this topic. the problem is to find it. Anyway, this is the story. After Aeronautica Militare chose the MB-339 design for an advanced trainer...
