M-346 IS THE IDEAL PLATFORM TO TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION OF FIGHTER PILOTS

The most modern Advanced/Lead-In Fighter Trainercurrently produced and the only new generation traineroptimized for the role.

Excellent performance and flying qualities, similar to modernfrontline fighters.

Advanced design solutions to provide high safety standardsand reduced acquisition and operational costs.

Well suited for every phase of advanced and pre-operationaltraining, allowing to download training task from the muchmore expensive frontline fighters.

Low maintenance and high efficiency make it a very costeffective option for advanced training solution.

Designed to provide operational capabilities and trainingefficiency while maintaining low operating costs.

M-346FT Fighter Trainer The Dual Role Concept

12


M-346 Fighter Trainer is the aircraft version conceived to take theadvantage of additional market opportunities by offering in the shortterm a product solution with operational capabilities (HomelandSecurity, Tactical Reconnaissance and Ground Attack) as a fall-out ofthe already certified M-346 AJT platform

Fighter Trainer configuration is designed to be implemented also as aretrofit modification onto AJT production aircraft

Fighter Trainer capabilities have been developed according to modern“Rules of Engagement” (“Minimum collateral damages“ attack powerand self defence capability) together with international market needs

Basic configuration frozen. Potential for further development based onspecific Customer requirements
