2019年5月17日 · The CA-31 was one of a series of projects designed by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation to meet a requirement of the RAAF for a supersonic trainer and light attack aircraft, being designed to facilitate pilots proceeding from the Macchi MB-326H to the GAMD Dassault Mirage IIIO, being expected to be much cheaper to purchase and operate.

The CAC was established in 1936, to provide Australia with the capability to produce military aircraft and engines. In 1935 the Chief General Manager of BHP, Essington Lewis, visited Europe and formed the view that war was probable.

The secondary contractor to the Mirage project, the CAC, realising the need for a fast jet "lead in" training aircraft, and the only such type in the 1960s, being the supersonic T-38 that was originated for the USAF's F-5 aircraft in service, presented their proposed design for a locally designed and manufactured low cost supersonic training ...

2016年6月11日 · In 1964 with the imminent replacement of RAAF CAC Sabre jets with the supersonic Dassault Mirage IIIO fighter (and a 1963 order for the supersonic General Dynamics F-111 strike bomber – this advanced aircraft ultimately didn’t enter service until 1973), CAC proposed the CA-31 as an inexpensive, light weight supersonic lead-in fighter jet ...

2016年11月27日 · Let’s have a look at the kit from basic parts to finished product. Assembly can be gleaned from the series of photos, but the kit does come with a comprehensive instruction leaflet – available HERE for free ! Assembly is very simple with this kit but there will be need for filler and patience. Now the paint goes on and the sanding begins. et voila.

2007年2月12日 · The CA-31 has been engineered to produce an effective, versatile, supersonic jet trainer which can be operated effectively in a number of roles. The design emphasises low weight, simplicity and excellent handling, together with …

2006年5月26日 · The CAC-built version of the Aermacchi MB-326 was selected for production in 1965 and neither project proceeded.

2010年7月9日 · I am currently looking for side-profile / 3-view drawings of the aborted Commonwealth Aircraft Corporations (CAC) CA-31 advanced jet trainer, which was developed to meet a Royal Australian Air Force requirement.

2018年5月28日 · The CAC CA-23 was a planned supersonic, twinjet, two-seat, all-weather fighter aircraft designed by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation. In 1949, the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) began assessing replacements for its locally-built Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) Mustangs, Gloster Meteors and De Havilland Australia (DHA) Vampires.

2006年4月15日 · This feels like it was aiming at the same Australian requirement for a supersonic lead-in fighter trainer as the CAC CA-31 and CAC/BAC AA-107. The performance figures (Mach 1.55 at altitude) and the timeframe (1967) match and Dassault certainly would have known about the requirement due to their ongoing involvement in the delivery of, GAF/CAC ...
