The Embraer KC-390 twin-engine jet-powered tactical tanker / transport aircraft is currently under development, with certification expected in 2018. The Brazilian Air Force (FAB) is the launch operator and has a contract for 28 aircraft. The multi-role military transport has been designed to tackle a variety of mission types from aerial refueling to transporting cargo and troops. Military forces around the world will appreciate the KC-390’s ability to operate from unimproved and short airfields.
