We begin by exploring the KC-390 Millennium's capabilities, including its design for multiple missions such as airlift and aerial refuelling. We then delve into how it can rapidly reconfigure its cargo space between seating, stretchers, or basic cargo configurations, along with the flight management system, load management, and modular multi-mission capabilities. Frederico discusses Embraer's development of a flying boom system alongside existing underwing drogue pods for air-to-air refueling flexibility, and also reviews the aircraft's sales traction in Europe and the Middle East, including interest from the USA and Asia-Pacific regions. We wrap by looking at production rates, the existing global support network and scaling up to address existing and forecast demand.
