Distribution of work on the AMX programme. The AMX programme work was distributed as follows : EMBRAER carried out 29.7% of the work (wing, air intakes, pylons and ATB); Aeritalia - 46.7% (central part of the fuselage, tailplane); Aermacchi - 23.6% (nose and tail parts of the fuselage).

Yes...sigh:(

G-91T/4 sounds like it was developed to the same specification that the MB-326C was aimed at, a trainer for F-104 systems. I know the Aermacchi design never got beyond a mock-up on an early MB-326 airframe, how far did the G-91T/4 get?

...point: the French politicians were strongly pro Serbian at that time... Until that M2K-N went down. 2nd point: the Adriatic is not that vast that such precautions would prevail. The Italian AF have used single engined fighters for decades without littering the sea with F-104, G-91 or...

I know at least some Skyhawks did use their cannon as well as bombs.

Sorry for that mistake, but I got it from old magazine,but the correct from Wikipedia; MB.336 was single seat ground attack aircraft developed from MB.326,later re-named MB.326K. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aermacchi_MB-326

http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/alenia-aermacchi-tests-low-radar-cross-section-kit-for-351787/ It sounds like RAM coatings and so forth.

MB.328 and MB.329 were twin-turboprop business aircraft. The MB.328 had them on the wing while the MB.329 had them mounted on the aft fuselage. I know that there are drawings of these out there, either in a back issue of Aerofan or in a book covering Aermacchi aircraft.

Also, to comment briefly on the external differences between M-346 and the Yak-130, the Yak-130 was certainly the starting point but Aermacchi did make substantive aerodynamic changes: https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/flight-test-alenia-aermacchi-m-346-one-stop-warrior-207881/ You...

Hi, here is a list of Egypt Air Force jet trainer aircraft,in service and preserved,also the contact in nearly future : Aero L-29 120 (preserved as spare) Aero L-39 10 Aero L-59 48 Alpha Jet 47 K-8 120 ** Future Aermacchi M-346 24 KAI FA-50 100

These sentiments were seen in Italy against the Frecce Tricolori team (that this year turned 60), anyway Italian Air Forces had already traded with Italian Government to replace the aged Aermacchi MB-339A with the brand new Leonardo T-345 in near future.

...the T-Bird II. Despite being bigger and faster than what the AF/USN said they wanted, it did meet most of the requirements without major redesign. One question was how the screeching Viper would meet the noise requirements. This was the intended solution, fitted to Aermacchi's MB339C...

Well, Yak-130 was raped by the Berkut and the SR-10 was born :D I agree that this is the death project. With the hell of a competitors like Yak-130, Aermacchi M346 or T-50 Golden Eagle, even the MAKO HEAT trainer, supported by the giant EADS doesn't have much chances to be realized.

...NATO contest to a Frenchman! It would tell you that the TAON (Breguet) and Etendards (II IV VI) were better than this crap F-86-copy named Fiat G.91... ::) but well, this contest was political... ;D How many constructors had tlay in the field of jet aircrafts ??? Fiat, Aermacchi, Aerfer...

In relationship with this news: http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,14554.0.html here it is my contribution about the matter. Italian pride!!!

Dear Friends, I've been told that the engine in the pic is a De Havilland Ghost, licensed for production in Italy to a consortium of Fiat/Aermacchi/Alfa Romeo in the late forties. Assuming the above for true, this could explain the engine in the Alfa Romeo Portello factory in Milan. I still wait...

...the BAC P45 and Jaguar T2 cycle for the RAF) trying to compete with the USAF T38 Talon (The West Germans used USAF ones in the States as well). It soon became clear that Hawks and Alpha Jets (a bit slicker than the Aermacchi) were the way to go https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_T-38_Talon

It was just a part in a major article about M346 in service and the TX proposal. In short it says that Aermacchi started in 1985 the development of an advanced trainer to prepare pilots for 4th gen fighters. They tried contacts with many govs until 1991, but no interest was shown for the...
