An Italian piece of art, the SIAI-Marchetti SF.260, commonly known simply as the Marchetti, is one of the coolest looking affordable fighter airplanes available. About 1,000 of these high-performance, single-engine propeller airplanes have been produced since they were introduced in the mid 1960s. While the S in SF.260 stands for the name of the initial manufacturer, the F is for its designer, Stelio Frati. Before his death in 2010, the Italian engineer designed a long list of wondrous machines, many for the experimental market, including the F.8L Falco.
