The Embraer C-390 Millennium is a twin-engine military transport aircraft designed to challenge the dominance of the aging Lockheed C-130 Hercules fleet worldwide. First flown in 2015, it is a high-wing turbofan-powered monoplane capable of carrying 21 metric tons of cargo or military personnel. Spanning 117 feet in length with a modern fly-by-wire control system, the C-390 represents Brazil's ambitious entry into the competitive military airlift market through Embraer.
