The Aermacchi MB-326 is a light military jet trainer and light attack aircraft designed in Italy by engineer Ermanno Bazzocchi. It first flew on 10 December 1957 and entered service in 1962. It was powered by a single Rolls-Royce Viper turbojet engine and had a two-seat tandem cockpit with ejection seats. It had a low-wing monoplane configuration with swept wings and tail surfaces.
It could carry up to 908 kg of weapons on four underwing hardpoints, including bombs, rockets, missiles and gun pods. It was one of the most commercially successful jet trainers of its time, being exported to more than 10 countries and produced under licence in Australia, Brazil and South Africa. It also set several records for its category, such as an altitude record of 17,315 m on 18 March 1966. The MB-326 was later developed into the improved MB-339 model.
