EADS CASA C-295

The CASA C-295 is a tactical transport aircraft developed by the MTA division of EADS. Versatile, robust and with the lowest life cycle cost of any aircraft in its category, the C-295 is capable of carrying out a wide range of missions with maximum efficacy: tactical and logistical transport, launch of paratroops and loads or medical evacuation. The C-295 can operate as a single type fleet or as a complement to heavier airlifters. It has been designed to operate from short runways in austere environments; its light footprint allows the use of soft-surfaced fields. Bulky cargo can be easily loaded or unloaded through the rear ramp door, which can be opened in flight for airdrop operations. The C-295 can take on many of the missions carried out by heavier transport aircraft. The maximum cruise speed is 260 kt (480 km/h).
