The Piaggio P.150 was an Italian two-seat training aircraft developed during the 1950s by Piaggio to fulfill the Italian Air Force's need for a replacement to the North American T-6.
Development
Conceived as a contender to succeed the T-6 in Italian Air Force service, the P.150 was designed to compete with the Fiat G.49 and Macchi MB.323. It featured an all-metal construction and a low-wing cantilever monoplane design, equipped with wide-track retractable tailwheel landing gear. The cockpit accommodated the pilot and instructor in tandem beneath a single glazed canopy. Initially, the aircraft was powered by a Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial engine, with a later variant employing an Alvis Leonides powerplant. Despite its development, the P.150 was not selected for production.
