Giuseppe Gabrielli, fighter designer suchas G.55 and G.91 and was born for a specific need of the Italian AirForce: to have a tactical transport aircraft, smaller than thefour-engine Lockheed C-130 Hercules, able to take off and landing fromshort and unprepared runways. The two turboprop engines can make theG-222 reach 480 km/h and the aircraft is characterized by excellentmaneuverability even when fully loaded.
