IAE to power KC-390

August 01-15, 2011

Embraer Defense and Security, in concurrence with the Brazilian Air Force, has announced that International Aero Engines AG has been chosen to provide the powerplant for the country’s new KC-390 multi-role tanker/transport aircraft. The engine will be the V2500-E5.

The KC-390 development programme was launched in April 2009 and the Brazilian Air Force formalised its intent to purchase 28 aircraft in July of last year. Five additional countries have agreed to join as industrial partners, with resulting aggregate purchase intentions now totaling 60 airplanes. It will also be marketed globally, representing opportunities for further growth.

“We are very pleased to be providing V2500 powerplants for this new multi-role military aircraft being developed and produced by Embraer,” said Ian Aitken, President and CEO of IAE.
