...role. Much too slow… about 350 knots at sea level loaded with 4x 500lb bombs. (See flight manual here: https://www.docdroid.com/hPy9TpV/aermacchi-mb326gb-flight-manual-pdf#page=265) By comparison an A-4C Skyhawk could fly 520-540 knots loaded at sea level. An Etendard IVM would be even...

Port Stanley was limited in its facilities and available space so I wouldn’t expect fighters based there to do more than fly CAP. They would be hard pressed to keep more than 5-6 flyable… basically just enough to fly 1 or 2 pairs at any given time. But my assumption is that would be enough to...

...industry (generally speaking) obtained outstanding results in automotive (e.g. Ferrari) it remanined confined in aerospace to turboprop, never developing a true national jet engine (like France or Sweden). All the 50's and 60's projects (both Aermacchi and FIAT) relyed on British engines.

...the Yak, bar span and rear horizontal tailplane...because it is the Yak 130 airframe and aerodynamic layout as designed by Yak and TSAGI. Aermacchi (at the time) did assist in wind tunnel testing as well as rig testing of the fbw system. This is well documented, on threads on this site no...

Re: Aermacchi Supersonic Trainer? PTS 2000? Before the M-346 and Mako? Thanks for your amazing response. I have read a little about various proposals that preceded the MB-339, and I have the impression that the final Viper engined configuration was chose over an Adour engined alternative...

...is that those who used it, used it very well with South Africans and Brazilians and not just these. Although some time after the Malvinas, Aermacchi believed enough to launch an MB-339K Veltro version capable of launching anti-ship missiles Marte MK II. Why is this information relevant? It is...

...a terrific idea... -non afterburning Atar (similar to Mirages and... S.E) -swept wing, STOL -can lob iron bombs like a Skyhawk -can carry sidewinders -DEFA 30 mm guns -rocket pods - LWF DNA It brings together, somewhat the best of Skyhawk, Mirage, S.E and Aermacchis... on Port Stanley airfield.

This is amazing, thanks so much for sharing it. I had no idea South Africa had MAW systems during that war. If you don't mind me asking, do you have any more information on these early systems and what aircraft they were fitted to?

There are also quite a lot of A-7's about and they would seem to be perfect for the job. As long as an integrated mission is used there is no reason why those airframes should not be able to preform the role extremely well supporting the fifth and sixth gen units.

It is very strange to me that they chose two such similar options. You would think that a relatively low-cost, single-engine turbofan design like the M345 or a BAE Hawk would have been included to really explore the advantages/disadvantages of the single-turboprop designs.

...fuselage. Sm-98. No data/not assigned Sm-99. This designation is found in the mid-war private notes of Ing. Ermanno Bazzocchi (of later Aermacchi fame) as a potential competitor of the design he was studying at that time of a two-three engines light-to-mid transport. Could have been a...

...ONE Cuppa but a few more of them. And then are the MB-326s, but that would really be a last ditch move. Plus, as said repeatedly, even for Aermacchis Port Stanley rudimentary infrastructure remain a big bottleneck. Maybe - maybe - screw the Pucaras and go all out on Aermacchis, 326 and 339...

Hey, the Greeks retired their A-7s in 2014. How used were the airframes, that's another matter.

I don't think there is an issue, really. It started with a statement (or rather question, I imagine) on the commonality of airframe between M-346 and AMX. To which I answered that it is minimal because the 346 started life as a pure Yakovlev product. This triggered a series of statements about...
