Piaggio Aerospace
« on: June 25, 2019, 01:01:34 PM »
The Italian government is in effect subsidizing Piaggio Aerospace in order to create a more attractive company for a potential buyer.  Thankfully, Guzzi owner Piaggio is said to be a separate (but related) company, theoretically unaffected by the distress of its Aerospace cousin.

The Italians have a history of making some good aircraft in the past.  The economics of doing that now maybe not so much.  Electric ATV for the Moon or Mars???  :shocked:
