Aermacchi M-290 RediGO

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Aermacchi M-290 TP RediGO is a turboprop-powered military basic trainer aircraft. It was originally manufactured by Valmet of Finland as the L-90 TP Redigo, a development of their earlier training aircraft for the Finnish Air Force.

The prototype, a modified L-80 first flew on February 12, 1985. Aermacchi purchased the manufacturing rights in 1996.

The aircraft is of conventional configuration, with retractable tricycle gear and a low wing. The student and instructor sit side-by-side. As is typical with many military trainers, it can also carry light armament for weapons training, or potentially, for use in a close-support role.
