Embraer’s KC-390 Military Transport Jet Makes Paris Debut, Nears Certification

Embraer’s KC-390 twinjet made its Paris Air Show debut this week with the second prototype flying in the flight test program. Development is far along, and the company gave AIN the chance to experience the aircraft in flight over the French countryside. The aircraft has been designed to tackle a variety of mission types, thanks to its large cargo hold and ramp. And military forces around the world will appreciate the KC-390’s ability to operate from unimproved and short airfields.
