History of Swiss Jet Fighters and Jet Engines

ALR is involved in the historical research of revolutionary Swiss developments after the Second World War. Of particular interest are the fighter bombers N-20 from the Swiss Federal Aircraft Factory F+W in Emmen (today RUAG Aerospace) and P-16 from the former FFA Flugzeugwerke Altenrhein AG in Altenrhein/St.Gallen. The famous Lear Jet was initiated from the same P-16 team. This design team concluded the definition phase and initial prototype developement successfully.
