The SIAI-Marchetti SF260 is an Italian light aircraft marketed as an
aerobatics and military trainer. It was designed by Stelio Frati, originally
for Aviamilano, which flew the first prototype of it on July 15, 1964.
Actual production was undertaken when SIAI Marchetti purchased the
design soon thereafter and continued with this firm until the company was
bought by Aermacchi in 1997. The military versions are popular with
smaller air forces, which can also arm it for use in the close-support role.
The design employs a low-mounted cantilever wing and retractable
tricycle undercarriage, and is often praised for its sleek lines and sporty
appearance. The pilot and up to two passengers are accommodated under a
broad, extensively glazed canopy. The structure is approved for acrobatics.
SF260TP version, first flown in 1980, was using an Allison 250-B17D
turboprop.
