[QUOTE="MAC1966, post: 281081, member: 49"] Airbus Military quiere vender el C-295 a Sudáfrica. By: Keith Campbell 18th May 2010 European aircraft maker Airbus Military, a subsidiary of jetliner manufacturer Airbus and part of the giant EADS group, has confirmed that it intends to bid for the South African Air Force's (SAAF's) new maritime surveillance, maritime patrol and medium transport aircraft programmes, when they are officially launched. For all three roles, the company will offer different versions of the same aircraft - the C-295. "Yes, that is our intention," Airbus spokesperson for South Africa Linden Birns told Engineering News Online on Tuesday at the Airbus Military Trade Press Briefing in Seville, Spain. "The C-295 is the only aircraft in its category with both transport and maritime surveillance versions already in operation, and the antisubmarine warfare (ASW) version will be finished before the end of the year. It is the only twin turboprop on the market that can provide platform commonality for both maritime and transport versions." The SAAF is seeking to replace its very old C-47TP aircraft in both the maritime surveillance and medium transport roles. Although significantly upgraded with modern avionics and turboprop engines, the C-47 was designed more than 70 years ago and the examples operated by the SAAF are at least 65 years old. The SAAF also desires to acquire new maritime patrol aircraft, to reinstate a capability lost when the air force retired its Avro Shackleton aircraft in 1985.
