Embraer Completes Aerial Refueling Trials
Between Two KC-390 Millennium Aircraft
|
Embraer has successfully completed aerial refueling
trials between two KC-390 Millennium multi-mission military
freighters.
The in-flight refueling capacity between
two aircraft of the same model using inflight refueling underwing
“pods” is unique in this category. It allows KC-390 Millennium
operators to expand their logistical transport capacity during
search and rescue operations, increasing the autonomy and
range of their missions.
Since its entry into
service, the KC-390 has proven itself as a highly capable new generation multi-mission aircraft.
Recently, the
four aircraft fleet operated by the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) exceeded
2,500 flight hours in operation, being used extensively in
operations to fight COVID19 in Brazil.
In addition to FAB, the
Portuguese and the Hungarian Air Forces have also ordered the aircraft.
