Hungary is the third country to choose the C-390, after Brazil and Portugal.
The Netherlands, Austria, the Czech Republic, and South Korea have also selected the multi-mission aircraft.
The C-390 is redefining military air transport and challenging the logic behind current and future generation platforms, offering multi-mission capability, reliability, and interoperability built from the design.
The C-390 can carry more payload (26 tons) compared to other medium-sized military transport aircraft and flies faster (470 knots) and further, capable of performing a wide range of missions, such as transport and launch of cargo and troops, aeromedical evacuation, search and rescue, firefighting and humanitarian missions, even operating on unpaved runways, on surfaces like compacted soil and gravel.
The aircraft configured for air refueling, with the designation KC-390, has already proven its capability both as a tanker and as a receiver, in this case receiving fuel from another KC-390 through pods installed under the wings.
