New Tasks for the M-346 Jet Trainer
Italian aircraft manufacturer Leonardo Aircraft is preparing two variants of their M-346AJT (Advanced Jet Trainer) for service. The M-346FA (Fighter Attack) and the M-346FT (Fight Trainer), intended for a variety of international customers, are currently undergoing certification and flight tests. Firm orders have already been placed for the FA, with deliveries expected to begin this year.
Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH, Lindenberg (Germany) supports all three variants, having developed the main landing gear, nose landing gear, and nose wheel steering systems. The company’s experience with landing gear systems has been evolving for over 60 years, when it started business as a maintenance facility for military aircraft programs.
We supply for example the nose landing gear for the Eurofighter as well. We offer our customers landing gear consultancy as a first step, followed by our latest Liebherr technology as a second step for the next generation of Indian Defense Aircraft Programs.
