Certainly the 80x-series centreline system looks rather more elegant than the dear old Mk 17! But won't aircrew miss that Hoovermatic ledex rotary switch clanking away in the HDU control panel.
Watching the groundcrew testing a Mk 17 was always...interesting. And ideally viewed from a safe distance!
One presumes that the design elegance extends to a better motor control system than direct-on-line starting a 3-ph motor straight from the AC busbars - that always caused the load meters to dance somewhat merrily!
'Sexy'? I think that's stretching the imagine somewhat.....
But an 80x-ser in the back of a C-27J would surely turn it into a pretty useful helicopter / light attack fighter tanker? Perhaps in the KC-390 as well?
