The development of the largest and most modern Brazilian aircraft, the KC-390 tanker, is another example of successful partnership between the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) and Embraer. The project coordinator at the Brazilian company aircraft manufacturer, Paul Gaston Silva, assesses the technological results achieved with the aircraft.
“This plane is really the latest state of the art technology. On the side of the Air Force, the KC will help to achieve the great mobility established in the National Defense Strategy, mobility of the Brazilian troops.

development contract began in 2009, and is now in its fourth phase, which involves certification testing of the aircraft. The program, which is the Brazilian government has invested more than R $ 4 billion in the development phase, says the coordinator.
It also highlights the jobs created. The development phase has generated 1500 direct jobs for highly qualified only at Embraer. And about five times that amount in the supply chain. When mass production is stabilized, it provides additional 1.1 thousand direct jobs with consequent generation of five times that total in the supply chain.
For the Embraer test pilot, Jordan commander, freighter is one “great pride” for Brazil. “Really this program gives an update on Embraer, a new step to be achieved, not only in avionics, but the cross-work between you expect it to do in real life and what technology is giving us. We are having great experiences. It really is a milestone for the Brazilian industry . “
