The Partenavia P.70 Alpha was a lightweight, two-seat aerobatic trainer from Italy, created in the early 1970s. Designed by Luigi Pascale and manufactured by Partenavia, it was intended for aerobatic training purposes.

Design and development

The Alpha featured a low-wing monoplane configuration equipped with fixed tricycle landing gear. It was powered by a 100 horsepower (75 kW) Rolls-Royce Continental O-200-A engine. Its maiden flight occurred on 24 April 1972; however, only a single unit was constructed. Production did not proceed further as Partenavia concentrated its efforts on manufacturing the Partenavia P.68.
