Lla Aermacchi MB-339 is a military jet trainer and light attack aircraft designed and manufactured by Italian aviation company Aermacchi. The MB-339 was developed during the 1970s in response to an Italian Air Force requirement that sought a replacement for the service’flotte existante d’Aermacchi MB-326. Sa conception a été dérivée de celle du MB-326, plutôt que d’une nouvelle conception, et donc les deux avions partagent des similitudes considérables en termes de conception. Aermacchi avait constaté que le MB-339 était capable de satisfaire à toutes les exigences spécifiées tout en étant l’option la plus abordable disponible. Le vol inaugural du MB-339 a eu lieu le 12 août 1976; les premiers avions de production ont été livrés deux ans plus tard.

General Characteristics and Role
The Aermacchi MB-339 is an Italian military jet trainer and light attack aircraft. The MB-339CB variant is a specific, modernized version built for the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF). Developed as a successor to the MB-326, the 339 is designed to provide advanced jet training and is also fully capable of serving as a light close air support (CAS) and attack platform. The CB model features upgraded digital avionics, a more powerful engine (the Rolls-Royce Viper Mk 680-43), and increased ordnance capacity compared to earlier versions. Its rugged design and ease of maintenance make it suitable for secondary combat roles.
