...at the Milan Polytechnic in 1938, and for most of his life he linked his name to that of the most famous aeronautical company in Varese, Aermacchi, of which he became Technical Director 1945 he left in 1989 after having been its Chief Executive Officer until the previous year.
During the...
...which are after burning versions of the Honeywell/ITEC F124 engine which is itself derived from the civilian Honeywell TFE731 of which there are more than 11,000 produced and used in multiple platforms. The F124 itself is also used in the Aero L-159 Alca and Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master.
You mean in 1955? By then had actualy flown jet arplanes FIAT (the G-80 series), Aerfer and Caproni-Trento (the Frati's F.5). The MB-324 was just a project, like the SIAI-Marchetti SM-10X of 1950 (and the SM-110 Chimera II of 1950, a four-jet liner...). The first Macchi's jet-airplane to fly...
Venezuela selects MB-339FD and AMX ATA combination
Andrea Spinelli / GENOA / 15 July 1998
Venezuela has chosen a mix of the Aermacchi MB339FD jet trainer and the new ATA version of the Alenia-Aermacchi-Embraer AMX trainer/attack aircraft to meet its advanced jet trainer and light strike fighter...
...Japan. Japan has been looking to replace the T-4 and T-7 since at least July of last year.
Maybe Kawasaki license producing the M-345 or Aermacchi and Kawasaki teaming up to jointly develop a new trainer specifically for Japan. Regardless I do see things coming out of this partnership even...

...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...
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...
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:

One think I can add, told by my good friend Gianni Cattaneo: during design...

...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...
