Mako Family Concept
Over the coming 25 years, there will be a need for roughly 2,500 new light combat aircraft and/or high-performance trainers because the service life extension possibilities for currently operational models will reach the limits within the foreseeable future.

EADS Military Aircraft defined the Mako concept to fill this market gap, a family concept for a High Energy Advanced Trainer (HEAT) and Light Combat Aircraft (LCA). This family concept is well-balanced because it is based on a common platform and provides technical, logistic and commercial advantages. This concept enables technology and equipment to be used equally for Mako HEAT and the LCA, thus opening up growth potentials for the coming decades.
