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. |
