SIAI-MARCHETTI SM1019
The Aermacchi AM-3 was
developed as a joint venture between
Aermacchi and Aeritalia to produce a successor for the Cessna
L-19 Bird-dog in Italian Army service. The first example flew in
1967 but the aircraft lost the contract to the SM.1019.
Aermacchi continued development
and in 1970 were rewarded
with a contract for 40 examples for the South African Air Force.
These served with some success until 1992. The only other
operator was Rwanda which took three examples.
The Siai-Marchetti SM-1019
was a development of the Cessna
L-19 incorporating a 400hp Allison 250 turboprop engine and a
revised tail. 100 were produced for the Italian Army. Although
the engine was much more powerful, the increased fuel
consumption and required increased fuel capacity meant the
actual performance was not improved.
