First flight: Kawasaki XC-2
Well it took them a little time (sound's familiar doesn't it?) but finally here it is:
The XC-2 twinjet from Japan had it's first flight today. Bit looking like a "C-8.5". Around 60 are needed for the JSDF. picture Kawasaki XC-2 startet zum Erstflug - FLUG REVUE |
Nice airplane.
I bet it was expensive to develop,though. Hopefully no problems with it unlike the A400M. |

Video here. Enjoy.

Would you like a seat by the front of the engine . . . or perhaps, the rear of the engine?

1) nosecone and fwd windscreens and eyebrow windows..L-188
2) flt deck side windows..ATR-42 3) fulelage and empennage..C-17 4) wings..??? |
Looks like a Kawasaki C-1, which first flew thirty-eight years ago..and a bit like the McDonnell Douglas YC-15 minus two engines..
|
Well someone has to say it, let it be me ... doesn't the C-17 look a lot like a bigger version of the Kawasaki C-1 with 2 more engines?
|
That looks like several of the most common heavy lift aircraft , still looks goos though
