Flexibility of C-27J Spartan

The C-27J offers significantly more capability than any other aircraft in its class. Its large flight envelope allows it to carry out the most demanding tactical missions quickly, safely, and effectively. Equipped with floor strength greater than that of a C-130 Hercules, the C-27J has capacity for 3.5 463L standard stateside-configured pallets or 25,000 lbs of bulk cargo equipment. The C-27J can also carry vehicles comfortably in the rear of the aircraft, such as two up-armored, combat ready HMMWVs, a BV-206S Armored All-Terrain Vehicle, a M119A1-105 mm Towed Howitzer, an OH-58 helicopter, or a LAV-V100. All vehicles can be driven or winched on and off the aircraft via a hydraulically operated rear-loading ramp and the aircraft can offload vehicles quickly while taking fire.

•	Material Airdrop: the C-27J Spartan can airdrop up to19,842 lbs of material (CDS bundles, single, two and three platforms (HCU-6/E), LAPES)
•	Logistics Resupply: Palletized loads, up-armoured HMMWVs, wheeled equipment, aircraft engines, and small helicopters can be transported by the C-27J. The C-27J Spartan features the unique capability to vary cargo floor height and continuously adjust altitude ensuring easy loading and unloading of large volume , high density payloads without ground support equipment and easy drive in/out of vehicles, enabling immediate operability.
•	Troop Movement: The C-27J can transport up to 68 soldiers (military standard seats), plus a load master.
•	Paratroop Airdropping: 46 paratroops can jump simultaneously out of both side jump doors or use the rear cargo door.
•	Medevac: Its capability to operate from extremely short, unprepared runways, and its capacity for up to 36 standard NATO liters and 6 attendants make the C-27J a deployable complement to existing medevac assets.
•	Humanitarian Assistance and Homeland Security Missions: With mission modules for maritime and electronic surveillance, search and rescue, firefighting and VIP transport, the C-27J is a truly versatile and capable intra-theater airlifter .
