FS2002/FS2004 Lockheed Martin Alenia C-27J Spartan

The C-27J has been developed by Lockheed Martin Alenia Tactical Transport Systems (LMATTS). The aircraft design is based on the proven G-222 airframe from Alenia, with turboprop engines from Allison and advanced systems from Lockheed Martin. The C-27J Spartan has the same logistical and maintenance characteristics of the Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules Medium Tactical Airlifter, and also shares commonality of the cargo capacity. The primary roles of the C-27J are cargo transport, troop transport and material and paratroop air drop. The Italian Air Force has ordered 12 aircraft to replace the G.222, with deliveries starting in 2005. The panel is not included in this file.
