Aeritalia AIT 403

[Caecilius]

Does anyone have any info on this aircraft? I recently found out about it and want to know more.

Are you confident in this designation?

There is no online mention of such outside of a single blog post:

1976 - 1994: dal TKF-90 (1976), all’Aeritalia Ait-303 / AST-403 (1976), all’Experimental Aircraft Program EAP (1983), fino all’Eurofighter EF-2000 “Typhoon” (1994)…

Beyond the title there is this sub-title:

1976 : LE RICERCHE TECNOLOGICHE DI AERITALIA: AST-303 o AIT-403

I'm not sure if that title is meant to be humorous or if the author simply garbled the designation AIT-303 and the inspirational Air Staff Target 403 (AST.403). In any case, there is no further mention of the AIT-303 in this blog, nor of that sub-titled 'AST-303' or 'AIT-403'. The text then focuses on the Aeritalia AIT-320 study.

Where did you find out about it? That might be helpful

I first saw it on this forum, in the list of Aeritalia and aerfer projects, and searched a bit until I found the website Apophenia mentioned. Then I returned here to ask about it further; but it seems I may have wasted your time

Thanks for this insight, but as far as I assumed before now I believed it truly existed. Sorry :/
