...Y nos hubiera venido bárbaro algo de este tipo. Un avión chico, monomotor, relativamente econónomico de mantener, moderno, modular y construido por los suizos (buscaban socios para hacerlo en el momento en que apareció en Aeroespacio la nota, hace algunos años ya). Tal vez se hubiera podido participar con ellos, en esos días todavía circulaba el SAIA 90. Por la topografía del país originario del proyecto, hubiera sido seguro de despegues y aterrizajes cortos, con dientes de primera, bien equipado de electrónica y ya estaría disponbile y funcionando. La variante Piranha 6 estaba destinada a superioridad aérea e interdicción. Era precioso.

Piranha 3
The PIRANHA project was undertaken by ALR as a private venture with the support of Switzerland’s industry. The reason for initiating the project was that the development and manufacturing cost of advanced tactical fighter aircraft (F-15, F-18) has risen so high that the number of aircraft which an armed service is able to procure has been reduced to unacceptably low levels.
PRIANHA 1 was a subsonic aircraft configuration optimised for the anti-armour and anti-helicopter roles.
PIRANHA 6* was designed to meet the battlefield air superiority and battlefield interdiction roles. These role requirements led to a very small, agile supersonic fighter powered by advanced engines such as the RB.199, EJ-200, or M.88.
The design works undertaken in the early eighties have been applied by ALR in other projects.
