Lockheed Martin Aircraft Argentina SA
The Fábrica Militar de Aviones (FMA, or Military Aircraft Factory) was Argentina's main manufacturer of military aircraft. Formed on October 10, 1927, it has always been owned by the Argentinian government, until recently being bought by Lockheed Martin; it is now known as Lockheed Martin Aircraft Argentina SA.
The FMA has in the past produced numerous innovative aircraft prototypes, but the state of the Argentinian economy has prevented most of them from entering large-scale production. Neverthess the FMA has managed to put several aircraft types of more conventional designs into full productions.
Notable FMA aircraft types include:
- DINFIA IA 35 Huanquero transport aircraft
- FMA IA 58 Pucará counter-insurgency aircraft
- FMA IA 63 Pampa jet trainer
