Is C-390 Millennium Better Than C-130J Super Hercules ? | in English 

I would like to see a Probability of Acquisition Analysis for the Kawasaki C-2 considering that it is also Medium Transport Category Aircraft & it comes with Sophisticated Avionics, Engines & Durable Manufacturing.

For Indian Air force?

@@defencestudy Yes Sir, for Indian Air Force. Japan has removed export restrictions for Defense equipments on 12 countries including India. So, C-2 is available for acquisition from 2023 onwards. What are it's chances, advantages & disadvantages? - Please explain sir.

Why not pit similar aircraft against each other? Seems like it's always a turboprop versus a pure jet. How about the Embraer vs the Kawasaki?

Verdade, mas o Brasil acordou e eles vão ter que engolir nós evoluindo gostando ou não.

Well, i don't know if you are Brazilian (i am though) I do like Santos Dumont and everything But please stop spreading that he invented the wristwatch The wristwatch was invented waaaay before him, the first one that have a historical register was made to Napoleon's sister in 1812 What Dumont did was that he popularized the wristwatch between men, because until that time, it was a thing that only women used He did in fact, ordered a watchmaker to make a wristwatch for him due to a pocket watch being kinda of dangerous to use while flying But it was already a commom thing in that time, it was only restricted to women

@@enzovernille3800 Not an watchmaker, Cartier. Not the brand, the guy himself.

Sim verdade

The 14 Bis flew in November 2006, managing 220m over 22 seconds? I take it you don't believe the Wright Brothers had already managed 38,900m on 05 October 2005, with controllable flight, turning and climbing? They certainly proved they could do it, once they started demonstrations in 1908. What am I missing here? I guess they used a catapult. But I don't see any reason they would have had to, any aircraft that can fly for half an hour could certainly take off under its own power if it had a long enough runway. Wright Brothers were first, but they kept their secrets to themselves ... got their patent, but then refused to give demonstrations. Why would they do that? Simple: Wilbur wrote to Chanute in late 1906, "...we are convinced that no one will be able to develop a practical flyer within five years." Arrogant pricks. They were obsolete within 5 years. Didn't stop them from trying to sue everyone else who made controllable flight. Oh, I don't know. They were right to fear that their designs would be copied if they made the public. They would have been. And I'm sure they were. But even after Dumont made his flights, the Wright Brothers still remained arrogant pricks. "From our knowledge...he has only jumped...When someone goes over three hundred feet and lands safely in a wind of seven or eight miles it will then be important for us to do something. So far we see no indication that it will be done for several years yet." It wasn't until after potential buyers had seen proof of powered flight (from other people) that they were willing to put down money to buy the Wright Brothers. We probably give them too much credit anyways. France dominated the flying scene by the end of the decade, while the Wright Brothers were too busy filing lawsuits to keep up... I'll take Santos Dumont over them any day. “Santos Dumont’s great dream was to produce a relatively simple and inexpensive plane that ordinary folks could buy or build and operate. He wanted to share the joy of flying with the masses.” -- Tom Crouch, senior curator of aeronautics at the National Air and Space Museum Or another one: The June 1910 edition of Popular Mechanics published drawings of the Demoiselle and wrote "This machine is better than any other which has ever been built, for those who wish to reach results with the least possible expense and with a minimum of experimenting." American companies sold drawings and parts of Demoiselle for several years thereafter. Santos-Dumont was so enthusiastic about aviation that he released the drawings of Demoiselle for nothing, thinking that aviation would be the cause of a new prosperous era for mankind. And certainly his lighter-than-air dirgible flying around the Eifel Tower in 1901 is more captivating than the Wright Brother's early gliders of the same time period. His achievements are just as impressive as the Wright Brothers, and he's far more of a hero than they ever were. But was he first? No. Ah well. In any case, this should be a simple matter to solve. Santos Dumont was in Paris in August of 1908 when the Wright Brothers did their demonstrations there, wasn't he? What did he have to say on the matter?* I haven't been able to find anything, and alas, I can't read French even if I could find a news article quoting him from that time. But apparently his efforts to build an airplane were inspired by stories of the Wright Brothers in 1903. If anything, it's amazing that only took him 3 years to catch up, working from scratch. "...we are convinced that no one will be able to develop a practical flyer within five years," in late 1906. Man, I actually hate the Wright Brothers now. Willing to bet Santos Dumont did too, seeing how he released his designs for free for the benefit of the public, donated a lot of the prize money he won, and was exceedingly humble. Meanwhile the Wright Brothers patented, sued, and sold their designs to the military. Anyone got quotes or writings from Dumont? I'd love to read them, particularly if they're from 1906-1912. Here's one I found: On 25 July 1909, Louis Blériot crossed the English Channel, becoming a hero in France. In a letter, Santos-Dumont congratulated Blériot, his friend, with the following words: "This transformation of geography is a victory of air navigation over sea navigation. One day, perhaps, thanks to you, the airplane will cross the Atlantic". Blériot then replied, "I have done nothing but follow and imitate you. Your name to the aviators is a flag. You are our leader." *It's actually possible he did not attend. He stopped building aircraft in 1909, and fell sick with multiple sclerois around the same time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_Santos-Dumont#Last_years But all the same, I desperately want to hear his thoughts

Comparing Max.range with same payload, kc399 wins with huge advantage.

@@iwansabatella7827 Yes, this is one more advantage.

The Royal Netherlands airforce just ordered 5 C390 deliverd in 2026. It can transport a boxer mrav, that is not possible with the Hercules.

Yeah but most of the time the cargo is full before to be limited by the take off weight

@@THE-BZH-BOY For any aircraft, before loading and refueling, it is necessary to carry out calculations that consider many important parameters such as altitude of the runway location, its length, ambient temperature, wind speed and direction, for example. The result will determine the maximum takeoff weight for those conditions and then with what maximum load you can take off to reach the desired point. It should be remembered that the C-390 can be refueled in flight, so it could take off with a heavier load and receive more fuel at some point in the mission and thus reach the desired destination.

BS…prove it to me …this video means nothing to the track record of the C-130 platform over the years.. nice try tho…but it ain’t happening….

​@@weatherherk1Kc390 é substituto natural do hércules, alguns países da Euroja já preferem o Kc390

And portugal was the first NATO country to buy 5. we'll receive the first in 2023. btw, Portugal also gave Brazil a small hand on the construction of the KC-390 Millennium. It will serve us well, much better than the old Hercules in our small air fleet.

​@@pedromiguelalmeida4446 They already got it.

@@pedromiguelalmeida4446 This does not mean that Embraer cannot produce parts for the KC 390 that are produced in other countries. With the exception of the Engine, Embraer has always produced parts for its aircraft. Why would it be different with the KC 390? Embraer included these countries in the manufacture of the KC 390 with the hope that these countries would become customers.

@@johnmark5229 *Customers and partners.

VeniVidiAjax Another thing is aftersales, which is just as important as purchasing the plane. You bought that plane, so you want to use it and not let is rest due to lack of parts or support from the factory who build it. One of the reasons the RNLAF wants to have the KC is that the helpdesk, the aftersales and the parts availability is better then with Lockheed. Embraer sees no big diffences between a commercial plane and a military cargo plane. As soon as they can not fly, it is not good. Due to RNLAF Embraer walks a bit faster, so to speak. Another reason was that five KC 390 's seem to cost less then four C130 J.s, while having more payload, speed and actiradius.

He was the best all this time because there was no competition. Now competition has emerged and the end of the C 130 is approaching.

Let's mention long term reliability and expenditures. The Hercules has been around long enough to work out most of the bugs in it's systems. The parts are plentiful and cheap. Lockheed Martin will also give buyers a discount on future aircraft.

​@@DDiez-ll6mwvai precisar descontos bem grandes.

Cost per unit is lower on the embrear (50-60 million)

The Dutch have chosen it over the C-130, we see over time.

He was subjected to tests like these... and apparently he passed, as he received the certifications.

yeah....lavazza does this very well hahaha

Aqui no Brasil comemos açai no café

Marketing does people believe colombian coffee is good, but brazilian coffee is much better, same with these birds!

prá falar tal asneira, só pode ser um joaquim de portugal!

O projeto do kc-390 é de 2008, ou seja, não contratou 👍

Como brasileiro digo que nao, uma coisa que o Brasil faz muito bem e avioes, se nossos politicos corruptos nao cedar as sabotagens dos americanos, a embraer continuara uma grande empresa de tecnologia aerea.

Você não conhece nada do kc390 o que faz ele melhor que o C130 e exatamente a versatilidade. Cosa que o C130 não é ser versátil até os Estados Unidos ja está pensando e adquirir o kc390. Vou ti dar um concelho pesquisar mais não de opiniões por torcida ou emoções.

O C130 tem flexibilidade em vários tipos de modelos e o kc390 ele é versátil, e muito superior ao C130. O kc390 é modificado em várias configurações com o mesmo avião, já o C130 ele não aceita modificações sem ser totalmente modificado teria que ser voltado totalmente para fábricas de montagem em caso de guerra o C130 daria mais trabalho para uma mudança rápida de configurações. Já o kc390 você pode fazer uma modificações até em uma base do exército.......não tente comparar o kc390 com o ultrapassadas C130.......o kc390 não tem concorrente no momento no mercado global.
