Hispano-Suiza selected by Embraer for the KC-390 programme

October 16-31, 2011

Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer has selected Hispano-Suiza (Safran group) to supply the Emergency Electric Power Generator System (EEPGS) for its upcoming KC-390 military transport and aerial refuelling jet.

Hispano-Suiza will supply the complete system, composed of the following – ram air turbine (RAT); RAT electric generator and generator control unit; and RAT actuation system (deployment and restow mechanism).

The ram air turbine system will convert air stream in electric power for the loads that are essential for continued safe flight and landing in case of emergency. With this programme, Safran increases its leadership in the supply of more electrical systems.

“This mission-critical system has been entrusted to Hispano-Suiza, based on its long history of providing solutions for aviation,” said Eduardo Bonini Santos Pinto, Vice President Operations and COO, Embraer Defense and Security. “Whether for military or humanitarian airlift or refuelling situations, the KC-390 will be ensured safe continued flight or landing capabilities under emergency conditions.”
