The Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master is a military twin-engine transonic trainer aircraft. Originally co-developed with Yakovlev as the Yak/AEM-130, the partnership was dissolved in 2000 and Alenia Aermacchi proceeded to separately develop the M-346 Master, while Yakolev continued work on the Yakovlev Yak-130. The first flight of the M-346 was performed in 2004. The type is currently operated by the air forces of Italy, Israel, Singapore, and Poland.

Features:

Detailed external and virtual cockpit models, with high resolution textures and PBR effects. High detail texture sets, based on real aicrafts, for Italian Air Force, Polish Air Force, Singapore Air Force, Israeli Air Force, IFTS, T-100 program and more. Realistic HUD, MFD and UFCP aircraft interface based on real world flight manual. Realistic and detailed procedures based on real world flight manual. Flight model with realistic performance and handling based on publicly available data.

This is not a "lightweight" project - the complexity of the avionics and high detail of the visual models require a relatively powerful machine. We advise to use the package on a machine that meets of exceeds the following requirements:

CPU: 4 cores, 3.4GHz or better GPU: Nvidia 1060 or better, with 6Gb dedicated video memory RAM: 8Gb minimum Hard Disk space: 3.00Gb required

The Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master is a twin-engine, transonic, advanced military training aircraft. The jet, which features a tandem cockpit, is used by the Italian Air Force and also by the militaries of a number of other countries, including Israel and Poland.

The M-346 Master has a distinctive appearance featuring a delta-shaped wing, a large, bulbous canopy, and a steeply swept vertical stabilizer. Powered by two Honeywell turbofan engines that deliver a total of 12,600 pounds of thrust, the Master boasts a top speed of 780 miles per hour (just past Mach 1), a climb rate of 22,000 feet per minute, and a range of 1,200 miles. The aircraft, which took its first flight in 2004, features a modern digital flight control system similar to those of the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor and Eurofighter Typhoon.

One of the most advanced military training aircraft ever created, this transonic Aermacchi is a feast for pilots starving for a top performing aircraft. Not just fast and high flying, the M-346 Master proves itself to be nimble and intensely reactive to control inputs at any altitude. Its carefully engineered, state-of-the art design allows for incredibly precise high-end maneuvering, including multi-point rolls, loops, low-level inverted flight, and more. The Alenia Aermacchi M-346 allows aviators to not only push their performance boundaries, but to set new ones never before imagined.
