KC-390

I think the Eye-brows are included in the windows.. its fly by wire so can be flown up to the envelope limits.

A main strong point of this aircraft is the height of the cabin. It can carry vehicles and helicopters that don't fit the C130. Such as Black Hawk.



And it can refuel fast jets.

I agree Embraer might have a winner here. Not super advanced but right sized and affordable. Where are Lockheed / Boeing? Apparently they waited too long.
