Rheinmetall to supply complete training equipment for new Embraer KC-390 transport plane



http://www.rheinmetall.com/en/rheinmetall_ag/press/news/latest_news/details_7936.php



  • Order worth over €100 million

Brazil’s Embraer, one of the world’s largest aircraft makers, has contracted with Rheinmetall to develop and supply a full suite of training equipment for the new Embraer KC-390 transport plane. A framework agreement to this effect has just been signed. For Rheinmetall, the programme should mean sales of well over €100 million spread out over the next ten to fifteen years.

Embraer Defense & Security’s KC-390 made its maiden flight on 3 February 2015 and is now close to going into full-scale production. Experts see excellent opportunities for the new aircraft on the world market. The Brazilian Air Force has already ordered 28 planes, and the armed forces of a number of other Latin American and European nations have expressed serious interest in it.

Rheinmetall’s Simulation and Training business unit will design, manufacture, deliver and support all training devices for Embraer’s revolutionary new KC-390 aircraft, including cargo handling, procedure and maintenance trainers as well as flight and mission training systems, including full mission and flight simulators. Rheinmetall brings to the project its vast expertise in training systems, especially for military transport aircraft, and will provide proven, innovative simulation technology for future KC-390 pilots, mission crew, loadmasters and maintainers.

"Rheinmetall is honoured to have been selected as the training devices partner in the KC-390 programme", declared Ulrich Sasse, president of Rheinmetall’s Simulation and Training business unit. "It’s exciting to be able to demonstrate our commitment to Embraer and the entire KC-390 programme by providing proven, state-of-the-art simulation technology from Germany."

Embraer KC-390 is a tactical transport aircraft that sets new standards in its category, while offering the lowest lifecycle costs in the market. It can perform a variety of missions, such as cargo and troop transport, troop and cargo air delivery, aerial refuelling, search and rescue and forest fire fighting. Embraer expects certification of the KC-390 jet by the end of 2017, with first deliveries of the aircraft scheduled for the first half of 2018.

"We look forward to building on our recent fruitful cooperation with Rheinmetall and are confident that our partnership will result in a first-class KC-390 Training Media Suite that will definitely contribute to the overall success of the KC-390 programme", stated Jackson Schneider, president and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security.

A member of the globe-spanning Rheinmetall Group, Rheinmetall Defence Electronics GmbH has over 40 years’ experience in developing and manufacturing simulation systems and providing training services. RDE is a leading supplier of military training solutions and highly skilled in the field of flight simulator and flight training device development and support as well as training services. Based in Bremen, Germany, Rheinmetall Defence Electronics has 1,200 highly qualified employees working on various projects in simulation and training worldwide.

Leader in the Latin American aerospace and defence industry, Brazil’s Embraer Defense & Security offers a complete line of integrated solutions, including Command, Control, Communication, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) applications, leading-edge technologies in the production of radars, advanced information and communication systems, integrated systems for border monitoring and surveillance, as well as military and government transportation aircraft.

Textron Aviation supports business aviation growth in China

press release

SHANGHAI, China (April 11, 2016) – Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company, today announced at the Asian Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (ABACE) that three years after establishing a joint venture between Cessna Aircraft Company and China Aviation Industry General Aircraft Company (CAIGA), deliveries of the Cessna Caravan single-engine utility turboprop have increased nearly 80 percent in country.

Textron Aviation’s exhibit this week at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport includes the Grand Caravan EX, and two more of its most popular regional products: the Cessna Citation XLS+ midsize business jet and the flagship of the Beechcraft King Air family of twin-engine turboprops, the King Air 350i with Fusion avionics. Textron Aviation is joined by its corporate sister company Bell Helicopter, which is exhibiting the Bell 429 in a VIP configuration. The 429 continues to gain interest throughout the region due to its state-of-the-art technology and luxurious interior.

“From establishing assembly and delivery partnerships, to aggressively investing in sales and support personnel, Textron Aviation’s approach of building a localized, company-direct presence in China is not only ensuring Cessna and Beechcraft products remain the leading models in China in the categories in which we compete, but also helping mature the business aviation industry here,” said Bill Schultz, senior vice president, Business Development, China. “The success of the Caravan and King Air in region demonstrates how being close to our customers allows us to be more responsive in offering solutions for their mission requirements.”

Turboprop versatility wins in region

With nearly 900 turboprop aircraft in the Asia-Pacific region, Beechcraft and Cessna’s turboprop platforms lead the market. The Beechcraft King Air and Cessna Grand Caravan EX have proven to be ideally suited to the region’s needs due to their ample range, solid load capacity and flexible special mission capability.

A favorite among private and commercial operators in the region, the Grand Caravan EX allows for extended missions and higher payload. The amphibian model has sparked a new segment in China’s aviation market by giving operators greater access to remote locations with a first-class interior configuration that can accommodate up to nine passengers. Shanghai-headquartered Joy Air Holdings has taken delivery of 13 of its initial order of 20 Grand Caravan EX Amphibian aircraft, which it is utilizing for flights between coastal areas, air sightseeing tours and charter flights throughout the region.

The Beechcraft King Air 350i, equipped with the new Pro Line Fusion avionics system and cabin upgrades, is making its ABACE debut. Pro Line Fusion for the King Air brings one of the most trusted avionics architectures to the first full touch-screen flight display system. The one-of-a-kind, intuitive flight deck enhances the flight experience while reducing pilot workload.

Leading the APAC business jet market

Cessna and CAIGA also operate a joint venture – Cessna-AVIC (Zhuhai) Co. Ltd. – for paint, interior installation, flight testing and delivery of the Citation XLS+ for Chinese customers. The midsize XLS+ is the best-selling business jet worldwide and is ideal for the Chinese market due to its low acquisition and operating costs, its high-altitude performance and its range.

The Asia-Pacific region is perfect for the extensive mission and performance capabilities of Cessna’s broad range of Citation business jets with nearly 300 in operation throughout the region. With a range of 5,278 kilometers (2,850 nautical miles) and class-leading cabin comfort and ownership costs, the company’s recently certified Citation Latitude is an ideal platform for the region. Following a successful demonstration tour in 2015 throughout Asia-Pacific, the Latitude earned high marks from owners and operators looking for exceptional performance capabilities and maximum comfort at a midsize acquisition price.

Dedicated support for region’s largest fleet

Supporting the largest fleet of aircraft throughout the Asia-Pacific markets, Textron Aviation has a robust network of nearly 40 authorized service facilities, including nine in China, to support its customers throughout the region. In addition, the company also has a dedicated parts depot in Singapore, as well as a team of expert service technicians in country offering maintenance, inspections, parts, repairs, refurbishments and other specialized services.
