midsized cargo transport with its unmatched versatility the c390 has not only revolutionized airlift operations but has also set a new standard for Speed efficiency and operational reach as Nations scramble to integrate this technological Marvel into their fleets the c39 is proving to be a game Cher on the world stage showcasing its extraordinary potential in high stakes missions from disaster relief to strategic military deployments the emba c390 Millennium is rewriting the rules of Air transport the embria c390 Millennium a medium-sized twin engine jet powerered military transport aircraft stands as the most substantial creation by Brazilian Aerospace giant Embraer the project took flight in the 1:00 mid 2000s initially inspired by a conceptual offshoot of the e190 jetliner with aspirations to rival the Lockheed C130 Hercules in size Embraer set its sights on using turbofan jet engines instead of turbo props backed by the Brazilian government and the Brazilian Air Force the Endeavor gained momentum in May 2008 the government committed $440 million to its development followed by by a $1.5 billion contract for two prototypes in April 2009 at the 2011 Paris Air Show emba unveiled plans for a stretched civilian freighter variant strategic partnership soon formed with Aerospace giants like fad e n AE R OG Ma and Boeing on February 3 2015 the Embraer c390 Millennium took to the skies for the first time 2:00 marking the maiden flight of its initial prototype by September 4 2019 the first production model was officially delivered to the Brazilian Air Force later that year during the Dubai air show in November 2019 Embraer introduced the aircraft's new name for the global market c390 Millennium since then the c390 has attracted several International customers including the Portuguese Air Force Hungarian Air Force and the Royal Netherlands Air Force designed for versatility the c390 can be configured for a range of missions from Troop VIP and cargo transport to specialized operations like aerial refueling it boasts a payload capacity of up to 26 tons capable of carrying two fully tracked m113 armored personnel carriers a boxer armored vehicle a Sikorski h60 helicopter or 74 l with 3:00 life support equipment the aircraft can also transport up to 80 soldiers or 66 fully equipped paratroopers and perform air drops of loads up to 19 3:11 tons in the early 2000s embria embarked 3:15 on the development of a medium-sized 3:16 Transport 3:18 Aircraft initially the company explored 3:20 a high-wing design derived from its e190 3:24 jetliner between 2005 and 2007 Embraer 3:28 examined the possibility of combining 3:30 the e190s wing and GE cf34 engine with a 3:34 cargo modified cabin incorporating 3:36 features such as a rear ramp a closed 3:39 loop flyby wire system and synthetic 3:41 vision 3:42 technology by 2006 embraer's Focus 3:46 shifted to a military tactical Transport 3:48 Aircraft aiming to match the size and 3:50 capabilities of the Lockheed C130 3:53 Hercules this new design was envisioned 3:56 to be powered by jet engines in the 3:57 17,000 to 22,000 lb Force 75.6 to 98 4:03 kilon range such as the Pratt and 4:05 Whitney PW 6000 or Rolls-Royce BR 4:10 715 in April 2007 Embraer officially 4:14 announced its intention to develop a 4:15 medium-sized airlifter designated as the 4:19 c390 the aircraft was planned to 4:21 integrate many Technologies from the 4:23 Embraer EET series and feature a rear 4:25 ramp for versatile cargo 4:28 operations the only thing standing in 4:30 their way was financing as we mentioned 4:33 by March 2008 the Brazilian government 4:36 committed approximately $33 million to 4:39 Kickstart the 4:40 project concurrently the Brazilian Air 4:43 Force was finalizing an initial purchase 4:45 agreement for 22 to 30 units while 4:47 Embraer engaged with potential 4:50 Partners in May 2008 the Brazilian 4:53 Congress approved $440 million for the 4:56 Project's 4:57 development during this period reports 5:00 suggested that the aircraft would serve 5:01 the Brazilian Air Force Army and Navy 5:04 with potential additional sales to other 5:06 government entities still under 5:08 consideration then roughly a year later 5:12 Embraer secured a $1.5 billion contract 5:15 to develop and produce two prototypes of 5:17 their new Transport 5:19 Aircraft this marked the official launch 5:22 of a program featuring an entirely new 5:24 design with updates to the fuselage Wing 5:27 flight deck and engine selection 5:30 ction the decision was made to move away 5:33 from the e190s wing due to its limited 5:35 surface area the new aircraft was 5:38 envisioned as the operational successor 5:40 to the Brazilian Air Force's C130 Fleet 5:43 Embraer opted for a jet engine known for 5:45 its resilience to dust ingestion and 5:48 advantage over the more vulnerable 5:49 propeller tips of conventional aircraft 5:52 for engine selection Embraer chose the 5:55 iae 5:56 v2500 prioritizing efficiency under 5:59 standard oper operating conditions 6:00 rather than performance in extreme 6:02 environments such as those encountered 6:04 by the Antonov and 6:07 32 in March 2010 Embraer established a 6:11 development timeline for the c390 6:13 targeting the delivery of the first 6:15 prototype by late 6:18 2014 by July 2010 during the farbor air 6:21 show the Brazilian Air Force announced 6:24 plans to order 28 6:26 c390 while embria revealed an increase 6:28 in the aircraft's cargo capacity to 21 6:31 tons 6:33 46,000 at the 2011 Paris Air Show 6:37 Embraer unveiled plans for a stretched 6:39 variant of the c390 aimed at the Civil 6:42 freighter Market with an anticipated 6:44 launch around 6:46 2018 the company projected receiving 200 6:49 to 250 orders over the next decade with 6:52 the new design incorporating two 6:54 fuselage plugs for and after of the 6:56 center section to enhance internal 6:58 capacity and add a side cargo door by 7:02 April 2011 Embraer estimated a global 7:05 requirement to replace 695 military 7:08 transport aircraft within the coming 7:11 decade in August 2010 an agreement was 7:14 signed by the defense Ministers of Chile 7:16 and Brazil bringing the Chilean aircraft 7:19 manufacturer enir into the c390 7:22 development 7:24 team that same month Argentine defense 7:27 minister Nilda Gare announced 7:29 Argentina's participation in the program 7:32 by September 2010 Colombia joined the 7:35 c390 initiative and on September 10 2010 7:40 Portugal's defense minister signed a 7:42 letter of intent to 7:43 participate in December 2011 Brazil and 7:47 Portugal established a defense 7:48 partnership with Empresa de engenharia 7:50 aeronautica EA to develop engineering 7:53 data for the c390 components which were 7:56 to be manufactured by embraer's 7:58 Portuguese subsidiary OG 8:00 ma April 2012 saw Boeing and embre enter 8:05 into a cooperation agreement which was 8:07 expanded in June 2013 when Boeing agreed 8:10 to market the c390 in the US UK and 8:13 Middle 8:14 East Building on these agreements 8:17 November 2019 announced the formation of 8:20 a new joint venture Boeing Embraer 8:23
