The Fiat G.46 was a military trainer developed in Italy shortly after World War II. The G.46 was a conventional, low-wing monoplane with tailwheel undercarriage, the main units of which retracted inwards. The pilot and instructor sat in tandem under a long canopy. The first prototype, powered by a 205 hp (153 kW) Alfa Romeo 115-Ibis engine, made its maiden flight on 25 June 1947.

The Fiat CR.46 was a proposed variant of the Fiat CR.42 Falco, a single-seat biplane fighter that served in the Italian Regia Aeronautica during the Second World War. The CR.46 was intended to be a more powerful and faster version of the CR.42, equipped with a 1,000 hp (746 kW) Fiat A.76 radial engine and a retractable undercarriage. The CR.46 was designed by Celestino Rosatelli, who also created the successful CR.32 and CR.42 models.
However, the CR.46 project was cancelled before any prototype was built, as the Italian Air Force preferred to focus on more modern monoplane fighters such as the Fiat G.50 and the Macchi M.C.200. The CR.46 remained only a paper project, and no drawings or specifications of it have survived.
