Fra nettstedet stratfor.com:

«Brazilian Defense Minister Nelson Jobim said April 14 in Rio de Janeiro at an aerospace and defense show that Embraer will move ahead with a new tanker transport design. The decision comes at a critical time for Embraer as it attempts to address the effects of the global financial crisis and actually move ahead with building a transport aircraft, which has long been only a set of marketing drawings and very basic specifications. If Embraer is able to effectively bring this concept to reality, it will be a significant demonstration of its capacity to apply its expertise and experience to more specialized military designs and potentially rival the venerable Lockheed C-130 “Hercules.”»

«The idea of Embraer building a transport aircraft has been around for several years, long known as the C-390. For some time, this has concept has been just that — a set of marketing drawings and very basic specifications. The intent is to build an aircraft with a payload capacity and performance that approaches the venerable Lockheed C-130 design (which Brazil currently operates). The April 14 KC-390 announcement included some new renderings, modifications to the design and more details (including the addition of the ‘K’ for its intended capability to also act as an aerial refueling tanker). But the most noteworthy shift is what appears to be a more ambitious and technically challenging attempt to not only replace Brazil’s aging fleet of C-130 “Hercules” transports — but to rival that venerable design.»
