Macchi Designations (Aermacchi / Alenia-Aermacchi)

[Cy-27]

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 Franchini.

I will break the list into several (manageable) parts and end with the licence built and sources in the last post.


Macchi Parasol - First Macchi design with a fuselage based on Nieuport 10.000. (1914)

Macchi L.1 - Reconnaissance and bomber flying boat based on a captured Lohner L.40. 140 constructed of this biplane design fitted with a single Isotta Fraschini 6-cylinder engine. (1915)

Hi,


C.3 was non-fighter design produced by Macchi during the WW2,it was twin engined
low-wing trainer and light transport monoplane,first flown in 1943,and powered
by two 155 hp Alfa Romeo 111 inverted in-line engines.

 

[hesham]

Hi,


MC.76 was two seat catapult launched recce project.
MB.327 single seat lightweight fighter project for NATO requirement.
MB.342,MB.343 & MB.344 was a single seat light attack and COIN aircraft projects.

Colombo C-3 (Bestetti)

 

[Apophenia]

The Macchi C-3 would have been the second prototype Bestetti-Colombo C-3 completed with Blackburn Cirrus Majors in place of the first prototype's Alfa Romeo 111s. Macchi receiving C-3 plans led directly to the post-war tricycle-geared 6-seater AerMacchi B.320 (MB.320) 'macchini'.

In a similar way, Ermanno Bazzocchi had derived the tricycle B.308 light plane (MB.308) from the wartime CNA PM.1 'taildragger'.

correction, there were about 1150 M.C.200 built, same for the M.C.202, and not 400.
Everybody knows that it was one of the few planes Italy produced in over 1000 in number, I wonder where you got the 400 from

 

[elmayerle]

Please note that the MB.326C was intended, much like the proposed Cl-41R, as a radar trainer for the F-104.

 

[hesham]

Hi,

MB.307 was a twin engined four-seat low-wing light monoplane,maybe
remained a Project only.
MB.321 was a two seat primary trainer Project, which abandoned in
favour of Fokker S.11.
MB.322 was a twin engined short haul airliner Project,could accommodated
14 passenger and powered by two Wright Cyclone turboprop engines.

I have some UNCONFIRMED infos from interviews, that Siebel-ATG mechanics were trained in Italy in 1953/54. Later they should have built some Macchi MB.30 (I believe MB.308) in a small series in Italy, which should be traded by Luftfahrt Technik GmbH in Cologne. Later Luftfahrt Technik GmbH and SIAT were discussing license production of the MB.508 in Germany, but did not finalize this.

Background of this cooperation was, that it still was not allowed to produce aircraft in Germany until 1955.
But Friedrich Siebel already wanted to be ready for the restart of the German aviation industry, when the restrictions would fall.

Does someone have more infos about this SIAT-Macchi cooperation in the early 50s?
Any infos about MB.30 or MB.508?

Best, Horst
