Military AI Works

The new aircraft, designated the KC-390, is derived from the E-190 passenger jet, but is substantially different. The military configuration include such major design changes as a high-wing, T-tail and aft ramp.

Although the FAB reportedly plans to buy 23 KC-390s, neither party has disclosed the terms of the deal in today's announcement. The FAB plans to launch the new transport fleet into service in 2015.

Over the past two years, Embraer has signed development deals on the KC-390 with South Africa's Denel-Saab, and more recently with Colombian government officials. Embraer today says that the participation of other foreign governments is still being determined.

Embraer officials have recently described a potential world market for 700 sales of the KC-390, largely replacing aging C-130 tubroprops with a jet-powered type.

Is it just me or does the Embraer look like the A400 with jet engines??
Rhetorical question....it just reminds me of the Airbus.

I was thinking the same thing. Only the horizontal stab are lower.

It may look like the "Bus", but I bet it gets in the air sooner.
