The trusted versatile aircraft

The C295 is the most trusted airlifter in its category, being used either as a single transport type or as a versatile and efficient complement to heavy airlifters and helicopters. 

The robustness and versatility of the C295 make it the ideal platform for numerous types of military, humanitarian and government agency operations for the benefit of society. The aircraft can perform a wide range of missions such as personnel, troop and bulky/palletised cargo transportation to casualty evacuation.
 

Unmatched versatility for tactical transport, cargo, & MEDEVAC

Capable of operating on short or unprepared airstrips, the C295 is used for tactical transport of troops and the required logistic supplies (water, food, ammunition, medical supplies, and spare parts) from the main operating base to forward bases, and among forward locations which are not accessible to heavier aircraft. It also can airdrop paratroops and cargo loads with the use of 88-in.-width platforms and container delivery system (CDS) A22 bundles.

The C295 is designed to provide outstanding low-level flight characteristics for tactical missions, flying at speeds as slow as 110 knots.

In the troop passenger configuration, the C295 accommodates 70 troops or 48 paratroopers and jumpmasters. For cargo transportation, the aircraft’s 12.69-metre-long unobstructed pressurised cabin accepts five standard 88” x 108” pallets or eight A-22 containers. On medical evacuation missions, the C295 can be fitted with 24 stretchers and seven medical attendants. Intensive care configurations also are possible.
