1. Twin Turboprop Transport Aircraft

3. Introduction
 The C-295M is EADS CASA (now Airbus Military) twin-turboprop transport aircraft
developed by the former Construccionnes Aeronáuticas SA (CASA), based in Madrid
and a founder member of the EADS company.
 The new C-295 is a stretched derivative of the CN-235 transporter, with characteristic
high-wing, rear-loader design.
 The aircraft is noted for its short take-off and landing capability on semi-prepared
runways and for the large payload capacity of 9,250kg.
 The landing and take-off run of just 320m and 670m allow the aircraft access to
runways close to operational or crisis areas or where supplies and troops are needed.

5. Variants
 C-295M: Military transport version. Capacity for 71 troops, 48 paratroops, 27
stretchers, five 2.24 × 2.74 m (88 × 108 inches) pallets or three light vehicles.
 NC-295/CN-295: Indonesian Aerospace-made C-295. Indonesian Aerospace
have a license to build the C-295 in Indonesia.
 C-295: MPA/Persuader Maritime patrol/anti-submarine warfare version. Provision
for six hard points.
 AEW&C: Prototype airborne early warning and control version with 360 degree
radar dome. The AESA radar was developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI)
and has an integrated IFF (Identification friend or foe) system.
 C-295W: Enhanced performance version with winglets and uprated engines
announced in 2013. Certification is expected in 2014.

7. Design
 The aircraft is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127G turboprop engines, each
rated at 1,972kW and at 2,177kW with auto power reserve.
 The engines drive six-bladed composite propellers, type HS-568F-5 developed by Hamilton
Sundstrand. The blades, of 3.89m diameter, have auto feathering and synchrophasing.
 The aircraft carries a 7,700l fuel load, giving a maximum range of 5,630km.
 The aircraft can be equipped with an optional probe for probe and drogue refueling, so the
range can be extended by in-flight refueling.
 The aircraft is fitted with tricycle-type retractable landing gear designed by Messier-Dowty.
The landing gear is designed to allow operation from semi-prepared runways, down to
runway class CBR-2, and is equipped with levered suspension and oleo-pneumatic shock
absorbers.

9. Cabin & Cockpit
 The main cabin can be fitted with two or three rows of foldable seats to accommodate
48 fully equipped paratroops or up to 75 troops.
 The cabin can be configured for medical evacuation missions for 27 litters (stretcher
patients) and four medical staff.
 The flight deck is fitted with dual controls for the pilot and co-pilot. The aircraft is
equipped with fully digital integrated Top Deck avionics suite supplied by Thales.
 The displays, including four 152mm x 203mm (6in x 8in) Thales colour liquid crystal
displays, are compatible with Night Vision Goggles (NVG).
