EADS CASA (Airbus Military) C-295
  
   На Парижском авиасалоне 1997 года фирма CASA представила свой собственный вариант CN.235 - удлиненный C-295 (длина 24,45 м). Максимальная полезная нагрузка возросла на 50% - до 9250 кг - что позволяет C-295 перевозить 71 полностью экипированного пехотинца или пять стандартных поддонов с грузом. Силовая установка самолета состоит из двух ТВД Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127G по 2645 л. с. (1972 кВт), вращающих шестилопастные винты Hamilton Standard HS0568F-5. В кабине установлен комплект оборудования Sextant Topdeck EFIS, включающий систему управления полетом, систему определения положения и курса, автопилот и три цветных ЖК-дисплея. Кроме того, установлены системы предотвращения столкновений и предупреждения опасного сближения с землей. Самолет-демонстратор совершил первый полет 28 ноября 1997 года, а первый C-295, соответствующий серийному стандарту, поднялся в воздух 22 декабря 1998 года. Сертификат ФАА был получен в декабре 1999 года. В феврале 2000 года испанские ВВС подтвердили стартовый заказ на девять самолетов, анонсированный еще в апреле 1999 года. Первые из этих машин были получены в 2004 году.
   С тех пор были получены заказы еще от ряда стран, включая Алжир (6), Бразилию (20), Колумбию (4), Иорданию (2), Мексику (7), Польшу (12), Португалию (12), Финляндию (3), Чехию (4) и Чили (3). Некоторые из них заказали вариант морского патрульного самолета C-295 Persuader. В мае 2010 года было объявлено, что один из C-295 финских ВВС будет оборудован воздушной системой наблюдения фирмы "Lockheed Martin" для замены самолета Fokker F27, используемого в настоящее время.

Spain
CASA's C-295 made its first flight on 28 November 1997 (1999)
First production C-295 pictured prior to its maiden flight (1999)
ВВС Испании по понятной причине являются самым крупным эксплуатантом C-295. Тем не менее, этот превосходный транспортный самолет, по мнению ряда аналитиков, был бы несомненным фаворитом конкурса на ETC для Армии США.
Since its entry into service the Hercules of Ala 31 have undertaken more than 197,500 flight hours flying all types of airlift and air refuelling missions.
An optional in-flight refuelling probe can be fitted to increase the endurance and range, as seen here refuelling from a Spanish Air Force KC-130H
C-295 составил конкуренцию более крупному Lockheed Martin C-130J. Как и Hercules, он приспособлен для десантирования войск и сброса грузов с малых высот с помощью вытяжных парашютов.
Among the aircraft making their debut at Asian Aerospace was the CASA C-295. Marketed as a complement to the C-130, the C-295 was due to tour the region after the show, with planned visits to Thailand and Malaysia. Also visible in this photograph are an Ilyushin Il-114-100 and Learjet 60.
Poland
Delivery to the Polish Air Force of the last of eight C-295M transport aircraft, serials 011 to 018 (c/n S011 to S018), under a contract signed in 2001, was announced by EADS CASA on July 28, 2005. Formal hand over took place at Krakow-Balice Air Base, where the type is in service with 13 Eskadra Lotnicza Transportowego (Air Transport Squadron) replacing the unit's Antonov An-26s.
Poland was the first export customer, with an initial order for eight aircraft - later increased to 12. This photograph of 013 clearly illustrates some of the design features of the C-295, such as the high aspect ratio wing, faired main undercarriage and strakes under the rear fuselage.
Хотя C-295 считается надежным самолетом в польских ВВС, 23 января 2008 года с ним произошла катастрофа на подходе к Мирославцу. Проведенное расследование привело к увольнению пяти человек командного состава и пересмотру рабочих процедур. После инцидента Словения отказалась от заказа данного типа самолета.

Finland
This Finnish Air Force CASA 295s made its RIAT debut. Operated by the Turkilentolaivue (Supporting Operations Squadron) from Jyvaskyla, the first of the two currently in service with the air arm was delivered on March 6, 2007. The aircraft attending RIAT, s/n CC-2, was handed over on March 29 this year. The Finns also hold options for five more CASA 295s that have yet to be exercised.
Seen arriving at Tikkakoski Air Base on delivery to the Finnish Air Force on March 6, 2007, coinciding with the 89th anniversary of the Air Force, is EADS CASA C-295M CC-1 (c/n 035). This is the first of two ordered in May 2005 to replace the current Fokker F27s, whilst options are held on a further five.

Finland's Ilmavoimat deployed one C295M and a single PC-12 to Rovaniemi for the duration of Arctic Challenge. Assigned to the TukiLLv based at Tampere-Pirkkala, both aircraft flew daily missions.
Portugal
The C295 has a fuselage length of 24.50m and a wingspan of 25.81 m.
The second CASA C-295M for the Forca Aerea Portuguese (Portuguese Air Force), 16702 (c/n 042), made its maiden flight from Seville on May 19, 2008. The C-295Ms for the air arm have a distinctive nose radome and a bulged observation window on the rear fuselage ahead of the cabin door. Portugal ordered 12 C-295Ms in February 2006, of which seven will be in the standard transport configuration, while the other five will be equipped as VIMAR maritime surveillance aircraft. Three of the VIMARs will incorporate the Fully Integrated Tactical System (FITS) developed by EADS, although all can be rapidly converted to carry cargo.
On November 18, 2008, the first of 12 EADS CASA C-295Ms for the Forca Aerea Portuguesa (Portuguese Air Force) was handed over in a ceremony attended by the Portuguese and Spanish Defence Ministers. The initial seven aircraft delivered will be configured as transports and will arrive at the rate of one every six weeks. They will be followed by the other five, which are VIMAR (Vigilancia Maritime) variants able to carry the EADS CASA Fully Integrated Tactical System (FITS) maritime surveillance suite inside their cabins.
Kazakhstan
The first Airbus Military C295M for the Kazakhstan Air Defence Force is currently undergoing flight tests at the manufacturer's facility at San Pablo near Seville, Spain. C295M '01' red (c/n S-093) is seen at San Pablo on November 20, 2012. Kazakhstan announced it had ordered two of the medium transports on February 29, 2012, and placed options for six others to be exercised progressively over the coming years; all eight are due to be acquired by 2018. Initial deliveries are due in April.

The three aircraft transported troops to the UK to participate in the second stage of Steppe Eagle 2016, an annual Kazakh-led international peacekeeping exercise. This year troops from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, the UK and the United States participated in stage one, which took place at the Iliysky range in Kazakhstan during April. Stage two was held in the Stanford Training Area and designed to train troops in all aspects of peacekeeping operations, checkpoint activities and manning cargo convoys.
Egypt
Airbus Military C295M EC-004 (msn S-109) departed San Pablo Airport, Seville in Spain, on December 3, 2013 for the Arab Republic of Egypt Air Force as 1187/SU-BSF. Egypt ordered 12 C295Ms in three batches, the latest placed in January 2013 covering six aircraft. Deliveries were suspended by Spain on August 28 because of the high level of violence in Egypt, although periodic reviews of the situation were undertaken. Two further C295Ms in Egyptian colours have recently been noted conducting test flights at San Pablo: msn S-103 on November 25 and S-110 the next day. By then msn S-103 had regained Egyptian camouflage and roundels, having been seen in an all-white scheme with United Nations titles in late September, when it was understood to be destined for Ghana.
Oman
Flying from the manufacturer's facility at San Pablo Airport, Seville in Spain on July 29, 2013, Airbus Military C295M 901 (c/n S100) is the first of the type for the Royal Air Force of Oman. The 100th example built, it made its public debut at the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget in June, albeit with its customer's markings covered over. Oman ordered eight C295Ms on May 21, 2012, five as transports and three as maritime patrol aircraft. The first was handed over in June but remained at Seville for crew training. It will be ferried to Oman later this year.
The first Airbus Defence and Space C295 maritime patrol aircraft for the Royal Air Force of Oman (msn S-118) was conducting flight tests from Seville-San Pablo Airport in Spain by early August 2014. The unpainted aircraft is equipped with a search radar; a forward-looking electro-optical/infrared turret under the nose; under-wing searchlight; a Terma 9000 side-looking airborne radar attached to the fuselage above the main landing gear sponson; and self defence and warning systems. In May 2012 Oman ordered three C295Ms for maritime patrol, equipped with the Fully Integrated Tactical System, as well as five standard transports.
The first Royal Air Force of Oman (RAFO) C295MPA maritime patrol aircraft, ‘118' (c/n S-118), test flying from Seville-San Pablo Airport, Spain, on October 23, 2014 after being fully painted, having previously flown only in primer. The RAFO has ordered eight C295s, of which three will be in MPA configuration.

Nine C295Ms are on order for the air force, of which seven will be assembled in Seville, Spain, and two at Bandung, Indonesia, by IPTN.
Ecuador
On June 6, 2014 the Fuerza Aerea Ecuatoriana (Ecuadorian Air Force) accepted the first of three Airbus Defence & Space C295s (c/n S-117). A further two of the transports will be handed over before the end of the year. The initial aircraft is seen on approach to Seville on June 11, still wearing the temporary identity '117'.
Colombia
EADS CASA C-295M FAC 1280 (c/n S-033), the first for the Fuerza Aerea Colombiana (FAC - Colombian Air Force), is seen undertaking a test flight from Seville-San Pablo, Spain, on January 24, 2008. Spain offered Colombia a discounted deal in November 2005 to purchase two C-295Ms, seven CN-235s and 12 surplus ex-Spanish Air Force CASA C-212s, although the contract has never been officially confirmed. However, the appearance of this C-295 at Seville effectively confirms that an order must eventually have been finalised.
Brasil
В некоторых источниках бразильские C-295 упоминаются как Persuader, но фактически это тактические транспортные самолеты. Они решают задачи в рамках Системы защиты Амазонии и проекта "Северный коридор", направленного на поддержку населения отдаленных районов амазонских джунглей.

Полет продолжительностью 2 ч 48 мин прошел в штатном режиме, а экипаж во главе с командиром Апехандро Мадруга (Alejandro Madruga) положительно оценил поведение машины. Планируется, что C-295AEW примет участие в международном авиакосмическом салоне Paris Air Show-2011 в Ле Бурже в конце июня этого года. Информация о технических особенностях самолета и потенциальных заказчиках на данный момент отсутствует.
On January 2, 2013, Airbus Military announced it is testing winglets on the C295 tactical transport. The fuel-saving devices have been flown on EC-295 (c/n P-001), which is also being used as the airborne early warning testbed. The aircraft completed its first flight with winglets on December 21,2012, from Seville-San Pablo Airport in Spain, where it is seen here on January 14. The winglets are expected to improve hot and high runway performance, and increase range, endurance and lower fuel consumption.
Winglets
Winglets on the C295W offer a 3% to 6% improvement in overall fuel consumption over the baseline aircraft.
Airbus Military used this year's trade media briefing to launch the C295W fitted with winglets, which is aimed at improving hot-and-high airfield performance.

Транспортный самолет C.295M
29 мая 2013г. на авиационном заводе Airbus Military в Севилье (Испания) прошла презентация военно-транспортного самолета C295W - усовершенствованного варианта C295. Главным отличием C295W от исходной версии является использование крыла с законцовками-винглетами (отсюда и индекс W). Масса каждого металлического винглета составляет 30 кг, а общее увеличение массы самолета с учетом усиления крыла - 90 кг. По заявлению пресс-службы "Эрбас Милитари", винглеты обеспечивают увеличение несущих свойств крыла и дают экономию топлива примерно 3-6%. Самолет также оснащен модифицированными двигателями Pratt & Whitney PW127G, которые оптимизированы для работы в условиях высокогорья. Утверждается, что доработки двигателя в сочетании с использованием винглетов позволят увеличить полезную нагрузку самолета на 1,5 т и поднять потолок до 7900 м. Сертификационные испытания C295W должны начаться в конце этого года, а получение сертификата летной годности планируется во втором квартале следующего. Первые поставки нового ВТС намечены на конец 2014 г. "Эрбас Милитари" намерена продвигать самолет в жаркие страны и страны с высокогорными аэродромами Африки, Азии и Латинской Америки.
«Ганшип» C295 Armed ISR на деле оказался упрощенным демонстратором
Sextant's (now Thales) night-vision goggle-compatible Topdeck suite was adopted as the core avionics suite, including four 6in x 8in liquid crystal displays.
The C295 flight deck features four multifunction LCD displays.
The C295 features many communication, navigation and flight data systems which are laid out in a straightforward way making the aircraft intuitive to operate.
Each operator workstation features a 20in (50.8cm) display screen, larger than that in earlier C295s.
The Fully Integrated Tactical System (FITS) combines information from onboard sensors, different types of which can be installed depending on customer requirements.
There are four operator workstations in the C-295ASW variant, but the configuration may be adapted for different roles. For example, there are only two in the C-295MPA
Almost half of the military transport planes under 10 tonnes flying today are built by CASA. For 75 years at CASA we have been researching, developing and perfecting the most versatile integrated military transport system in the world, making us the authentic specialists. For this reason no one else can offer a range that is so complete, in constant development and adapted to all areas of use.
