Hello.
Are there any projects to make aircraft for the Navy or for use on Aircraft Carriers?
The ARA Independencia was purchased in 1958-9 and the ARA Veinticinco de Mayo in 1968-9.
Regards
Hello,
No, there was an attempt to sell Guarani to the Navy but it did not prosper.
It must be borne in mind that from 1930 to 1983, Argentina was governed most of the time by military boards that overthrew democratic governments.
The FMA was created expressly to equip the FAA (Argentine Air Force) with its own aircraft, and to maintain its native and foreign aircraft.
Unfortunately, the FMA was like another air base within the FAA, with a Brigadier in charge, who changed every so many years according to promotions, and each Brigadier that arrived managed it as an air base, without long-term planning.
The Navy had its own maintenance centers.
Just now from 2014/15 they sent a P-3C Orion plane from the Argentine Navy for the first time in history.
To summarize, the FMA only designed planes for the FAA and the Navy would never buy or commission the design of an aircraft.
Best regards.
