✈DUBAI: Japan’s C-2 makes overseas debut in push for export sales.
Powered by General Electric CF6 engines, the aircraft has been developed as a successor to the Kawasaki C-1 in both strategic and tactical airlift missions.
With a 15.6m-long (51ft) cargo compartment, the C-2 is able to carry a maximum payload of 36 tonnes for a range of 2,430nm (4,500km), or has a ferry range of 5,300nm.
“The C-2’s capacity sits just in the middle of the C-130 and the C-17,” says Colonel Tokukazu Omine, programme manager at Japan’s Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Agency. “We are quite proud of its capability.”
