A330 MRTT
The A330 MRTT (Multi-Role Tanker
Transport) is the world’s leading
air-to-air refuelling aircraft with an
enormous basic fuel capacity and
an innovative fly-by-wire refuelling
boom. Its huge basic fuel capacity
means that no auxiliary tanks are
needed to give air-to-air refuelling
performance that far exceeds
its nearest competitors. The entire
cargo bay is available for freight.
By the end of 2010, it had won orders
from Australia, Saudi Arabia, the
United Arab Emirates and the UK,
with a total backlog of 28 aircraft.
CN235
The CN235 is a twin-engine
turboprop transport aircraft capable
of operating from short and unpaved
runways. The latest variant, the
CN235-300, can transport a payload
of up to 6,000 kg, accommodating
36 paratroopers or over-sized
loads such as aircraft engines or
helicopter blades. Variants of the
CN235-300 are used for missions
such as maritime patrol or pollution
control, among others. Including
all variants, over 275 CN235 have
been sold since the beginning of
the programme.
C295
The C295 has a basic configuration
similar to the CN235, with a
stretched cabin to airlift a 50%
heavier payload at greater speed
over longer distances. Over 70 C295
have been delivered to 12 operators
from 11 countries. The C295 has
accumulated 90,000 flight hours in all
kind of environments: from the polar
arctic areas to deserts.
Airbus Military
Airbus Military is responsible for the European heavy
military transport A400M project and produces and sells
special mission aircraft, derived from existing aircraft
platforms. It is the global leader for light and medium-sized
military transport aircraft.
