By 1995 Aermacchi with Dassault and Daimler-Benz Aerospace was working on the TS-21 training system. This was a study for a next-generation integrated training system for NATO air forces. Part of the rationale was to reduce training costs./ Does anyone know any more details? Was this purely a...

Hard to keep NGT, VTX (officially VTXTS) and JPATS apart. The VTX bidders included an upgraded T-2 Buckeye from Rockwell, the Aermacchi MB399 (I think - it was also offered for JPATS), designs from General Dynamics, Grumman/Beech and Northrop/Vought and then the finalists: Lockheed with the...

The MB-339 was certainly a modern trainer for 1982 but it remained a trainer nonetheless. And sending trainers against the british fleet, MB-326 or MB-339, would be suicide. Crippa had huge balls and made it alive, but he was supposed to fly an armed reconnaissance mission, not an attack like a...

Nice picture ! I find what you're saying very interesting, but I think that in the absence of effective air cover, the losses from the EMB-326s would have been too significant.

Dear Boys and Girls, here is a picture with a caption in French of the Aer Lualdi L-59 helicopter prototype; production by Aermacchi was cancelled and only two prototypes were completed...... The picture comes from the 6th August 1960 issue of Les Ailes...... Terry (Caravellarella)

I am sure that will upset some... ;D

As I understand it Aermacchi became involved in the Advanced European Jet Pilot Training (AEJPT) program when it started in 1996. I wonder where that fits into the ATX > PTS-2000 > M-346 chronology especially since they eventually submitted the M-346 for that program before it died in 2012. Was...

In Chris Chant's 'Air Forces of the World' 1990 he mentions that Aermacchi in 1988 was studying a variant of the MB.339 with twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D turbofans mounted over the wings, the designation may have been MB.339D. I'm assuming tha the fuselage would have been very different aft...

...Jet via the Contact page." This says it all. Another aircraft designer on a shoeshine and a smile. If anyone was that interested, they'd probably buy the Aermacchi 345 off the shelf. Sorry for the snark, but I've dozens of these projects come and go producing nothing more than brochures.

...be a simpler/lighter solution, so there must be something else going on high Mach-wise in addition I think. Any potential advantages/disadvantages at high AoA? I've noted that winglets have gone out of vogue since HiMAT on agile fast(ish) jets like the Yak-130/Aermacchi. Any thoughts? Cheers...

You can find earlier claims of up to 40 degrees for both siblings, but here's a fairly recent one (2016) that quotes the horse's mouth on the M-346: https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2016-02-13/italian-jet-trainer-finds-new-cost-saving-roles The Yak-130 limit is the...

...the anti-chopper role... Every light CAS, with their low stall speed and agility, can naturally be used as a SABA, even A-10 are... Bur Aermacchi wasn't so fool to design such a specialized aircraft back then, and there was no requirement by the Aeronautica Militare for that matter. Think...
