Partenavia Mosquito

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

P.86 Mosquito
Type Civil trainer
Manufacturer Partenavia
Maiden flight 27 April 1986
Number built 1

The Partenavia P.86 Mosquito was a two-seat civil trainer aircraft first flown in Italy in 1986. It was a high-wing monoplane of pod-and-boom construction with tricycle undercarriage and a twin tail that accommodated the student and instructor side-by-side.

In 1989, Partenavia created the Aviolight company as a joint venture with two other partners in order to produce the aircraft, but nothing came of it, and the prototype was the only example produced. Partenavia itself was declared bankrupt the same year.
