...built in prototype form (not the version intended to be tendered, although). They were:
Aerfer Ambrosini S. (Stefanutti) Sagittario 2
Aermacchi MB.324
SIAI Marchetti SM.133
Let's start from the Sagittario. There were different version projected for the CAS role (then it was described as...

The SM.97 was a triple fin, 4 engine, tricycle gear airliner study, while the SM.99 was a 2-3 engine transport (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/forthcoming-italian-secret-projects.7394/page-3#post-137003).
...to move forward, and how and if we team for a clean-sheet design.”
The field of T-X competitors includes BAE with a Hawk aircraft, Alenia Aermacchi (which is shopping for a U.S. partner) with the M346 (a derivative of the Russian Yak-130) and the Lockheed Martin/Korea Aerospace Industries...
I think Bladerunner was only making a joke Kaiser. Have a closer look at the markings...
That said - there are some exceptions. The Aermacchi AM.3C was never produced in SA but was named "Bosbok" (Bushbuck) in Service. Conversely the C-47's that were upgraded locally under Project Felstone all...
Hi folks,
an interesting feature of the P.108T was the capability of accomodate two fuselages of Aermacchi C.200 Saetta fighters, with separate engines, wings and tail surfaces. To load and unload the fighters, the P.108T was made horizontal by a tail jack. I found some drawing depicting the...
1) A slow armed trainer flying at ~350 knots is much more likely to be intercepted by Sea Harriers than a strike aircraft flying at 480-550 knots. Evidence is how the Canberras were removed from daytime strike duties after the 1st day, and the number of times Sea Harriers failed to engage...
At http://forum.worldofwarplanes.com/index.php?/topic/2539-aermacchi-mb324/ you may find an explanation what the two-seat variant of the MB.324 really was:
Indeed its engine looks very small, much smaller than the DH Ghost, which was to be mounted in the Ghost-engined MB.324, so probably what...
...yet others seemed to drag their heels somewhat.
I specifically mean for fighter/attack jets that were supersonic, not trainers such as the Aermacchi MB326.
Grumman with their F11 Super Tiger and SAAB with their Draken seem to me to be the first to adopt it, with first flights in the mid/late...
Just some follow up snippets of info regarding the ground attack aircraft project that was based on the Aermacchi MB-326/Impala discussed earlier.
The engineer has followed up with a facebook post basically saying that when the Impala based ground attack study was stopped, a two tier follow on...

They would be knocked down as much as the A-4s and Daggers were in each encounter. But the dilemma is that there is a possibility that the Harriers will be operated in a more limited way until the MB-326s are eliminated from Port Stanley. The Harrier already suffered a lot with autonomy and...
Master, if we take the most difficult and classic mission, which would be the narrative of the attack in the open ocean on the HMS Invincible, we see that from the formation of the Super Etandard and A-4, after the firing of the Exocet, the A-4 took more than 1 minute of arrival after the...
...M.S.760 Paris and the North American UTX proposal.
Mooney went on to design two more aircraft for Lockheed: his M-22 was the Lockheed-Aermacchi L-402 or LASA-60 (designed for the Mexican market) while his final design, the M-23, was Lockheed's XV-4B Hummingbird VTOL aircraft. Of course, the...
