Fiat SpA?

Greetings:

Sorry for this, I need you tell me Why the Italian Aviation engine Ltd were called Fiat SpA?
I mean the Fiat is the name of this Ltd, but what the SpA stand for?
Would you please teach me the complete spelling of Sp.A ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi I'm Italian...SPA stand for Società per Azioni in english is Corporation

Arha, merci!
May I ask since Italian want interceptor before MRCA, why your nation didn't import Tornado ADV from UK?

If I'm not mistaken, Fiat is a corporation sub-owned by Ferrari that produces economical practical vehicles. I've never heard of any instance where they've made aircraft.

Shattered OUT...

Fiat were involved in aviation for decades, finally involved in a merger that spawned Aeritalia.

Plenty of info out there for research.

Wasn't saying they weren't involved with Aviation, just saying the only applications that I've heard of Fiat being involved in were in the Automotive industry.

Shattered OUT...

Fiat produced single engined fighters, tri-motor bombers and transport planes during WW2. They also produced the Fiat G.92 fighter in the Sixties and seventies based upon the F-86F Sabre. The built a twin engined turboprop freighter like a smaller version of the C-130 Hercules called the Fiat G.222.

given the quality of their cars, i'm glad i never had to fly one.
