The Aereo Fiat G59 4B is a preserved Italian aircraft displayed in Palermo at the Museo Storico dei Motori e dei Meccanismi. Engineer Giuseppe Gabrielli designed it in Italy after the Second World War. Fiat Aviazione produced the G59 in Turin, basing its design on the earlier Fiat G55 Centauro fighter. The G59 4B was built at the end of 1952. It became a two-seat advanced trainer for the Italian Air Force and also supported aerobatic flying until about 1965. Its metal structure carries a bubble canopy for improved pilot visibility. A Rolls Royce Merlin 520 V12 engine powers the aircraft through a four-bladed variable-pitch propeller. The engine delivered a maximum power of 1,660 horsepower. That power gave the G59 4B a top speed of 609 kilometres per hour at 6,400 metres. The aircraft’s military serial number is 53,530. It first served in the Bari Air Region with code RB 40, then moved to the Rome Air Region as RR 73. Today, the restored aircraft stands in a transparent case. The university display is wheelchair accessible and connects Palermo with Italian aviation and engineering history. The museum collection also includes engines, mechanisms and scientific equipment.
