L-39 Albatros / L-59 Super Albatros

L-39 Albatros

The L-39 Albatros is a single-engine two-seat jet training aircraft, primarily designed for basic and advanced training, including weapon delivery practicing, with secondary light combat capability. The first flight of the L-39 was carried out in 1968 and since then Aero has delivered more than 2,900 units of several versions of this successful type. The L-39 aircraft still serves in many air forces, including the Czech Republic, and is also popular among private pilots, especially in the United States.

L-59 Super Albatros

The L-59 Super Albatros combines design characteristics and experience of the L-39 Albatros family with a new powerful engine, advanced avionics (including head-up display), improved airframe and other systems. The first flight of the L-59 was carried out in 1986 and produced in a number of 80 units.

The L-39/L-59 aircraft are no more in the production portfolio of Aero.
