SIAI Marchetti S211 was developed as a military jet pilot trainer. It has full acrobatic capability and can be armed with a range of weapon systems. Powered by a single P&W JT15D-4C engine, the aircraft provides excellent flight performance in the mission role and in acrobatic demonstrations. With a load factor of +7 to Ð3.5g, a maximum speed of 390 KTAS (knots true air speed) at an altitude of 40,000ft and a rate of climb of 4,200 ft per minute, the aircraft provides military pilot training in a true jet environment. The S211 jet would make exciting warbirds, military chase planes or further use with a foreign military. The S211 is a relatively simple aircraft to fly, modern, with good looks and has the added benefit of being easily supportable. The Engine, a JT15D-4C is essentially the same as fitted to the Cessna Citation and is therefore inherently supportable. Parts and maintenance being commercially available. Fuel burn is around 125 US gal an hr. Wheels and Brakes are made by Cleveland and are procurable through Avial. Main tires are the same at the Goodyear and again procurable locally. The aircraft has five hardpoints: two under each wing and one under the centre fuselage. The aircraft can easily be configured to carry external sensors and photographic equipment. The hardpoints can carry a range of systems, including bomb and rocket dispenser for MK76, MK 106 or 50/68 mm rockets; bombs and practice bomb containers up to 550lbs; bomb and napalm containers up to 770lbs; rocket launchers from 50 to 100mm; gun pods for 7.62mm, 20mm and 12.7mm guns; and 74mm cartridge launchers. The hardpoints can also carry smoke generators, parachuting containers, photographic and reconnaissance pods, and two auxiliary tanks, each with a capacity of 71.3 U.S. gallons of fuel.
