Performance Data for C-27J Spartan

The C-27J Spartan is the perfect fixed wing multi-purpose cargo aircraft for today's diverse missions. Extremely maneuverable and versatile, the rugged C-27J boasts highest in its class power-to-weight ratio, and the ability to perform fighter aircraft-like, 3.0g force maneuvers - enabling it to make tight turns, and climb and descend quickly.

Farther and Faster

The C-27J features the best performance in its class:

•	2,300 nm with over 13,227 lbs (6,000kg) of payload
•	3,200 nm ferry flight
•	325 ktas maximum cruise speed

Modern, Dependable and Proven Technology

The C-27J Spartan has a state-of-the-art suite of standard off-the-shelf military equipment integrated with military standard digital data bus architecture. The avionics represent the most advanced system available in tactical airlifters, and is compatible with emerging Future Air Navigation System (FANS) requirements. The avionics and cockpit were designed with growing capability in mind to satisfy specific customer needs.

The C-27J is equipped with electronic flight instrumentation system (EFIS), incorporating five liquid crystal color multi -functional display units (CMDU) that provide aircraft control, operations and navigation data.

The basic avionics configuration includes:

-	Modern Electronic Flight Integration System (EFIS) with Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) compatible programmable displays and controls
-	Military based Flight Management Systems (FMS)
-	Dual Digital Autopilot/Flight Directors (DA/FD)
-	Dual Embedded GPS Inertials (EGI)
-	Communication, Navigation, and Identification - Management System (CNI-MS) compatible with military and civilian agencies
-	Two Very High Frequency (VHF)/Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio sets, Two High Frequency (HF) radio sets
-	Low Power Color Radar (LPCR) with high resolution ground mapping, long range weather and turbulence detection with selective wind shear and air target detection
-	Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR)
-	Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR)
-	Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)

Powerful Engines

The C-27J is powered by two Rolls-Royce E 2100D2 engines capable of up to 4,637 shp each, and equipped with full authority digital electronic control. The strong propulsion system allows for access to a wide range of airfields, enabling landings on short, unprepared strips, in hot weather and high-altitude conditions - all while transporting heavy loads. With a maximum take-off weight (in a combat scenario) of 67,241 lbs (3.0 g), a cruising ceiling of 30,000 ft and a maximum speed of 325 knots, the C-27J Spartan is guaranteed to get in, get out and get the job done.

A third APU makes the aircraft completely independent from external support, increasing the operational effectiveness in forward deployed areas. In addition, the APU is fully operational in the entire flight envelope, including engine-starting capability up to 22,000 ft.

Perfect for Logistics Operations and Unbeatable for Tactical Operations With a full suite of navigation aids, Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) compatible cockpit and NVIS compatible internal and external lighting, the C-27J Spartan can operate in all weather conditions, day and night.

The C-27J's extreme short take off and landing capability, combined with its advanced braking system and landing gear ensure the aircraft can complete any mission required of a medium lift transport aircraft and more.
