The Partenavia P.70 Alpha was a 1970s Italian two-seat light aerobatic trainer designed by Luigi Pascale and built by Partenavia.[1][2]
Design and development
The Alpha was a low-wing monoplane with a fixed tricycle landing gear and powered by a 100 hp (75 kW) Rolls-Royce Continental O-200-A engine.[1][2] The Alpha first flew on the 24 April, 1972, but only one was built and it did not enter production as the company was pre-occupied with producing the Partenavia P.68.[1]
