21 June 2011 News in brief

As part of an agreement signed today at the Paris Air Show, Airbus Military and Israel Aerospace Industries will jointly develop and market a new version of the C295 tactical transport – which is to be equipped with an Airborne Early Warning and Command (AEW&C) system. The aircraft’s readiness for the AEW&C mission is being validated through flight trials of a C295 outfitted with a rotodome demonstrator in Seville, Spain.
