The Aermachina AC-32 is a single-engine multi-role fighter aircraft developed by Aermachina for the Royal Salisfordian Air Force. Originally designed as an air superiority fighter, it eventually evolved into a all-weather multi-role aircraft. Over 400 have been built since production was approved in 1978.
The AC-32 is the workhorse of the Royal Salisfordian Air Force, and makes up the majority of Salisford's air superiority and ground attack capabilities.
