So even the so called "russian View" still limit the detection range to only 25-35 km, not to mention the range finder distance is only 15 km

Any plans for a large C17 class type aircraft by Embraer?

Brazil designs aircraft upon export market needs, thus first they need to see the niche otherwise they do not develop the aircraft.

C-390 was designed as a C-130 potential replacement, trying to fill the role for many export customers, the brazilian air force is not the main customer, it is an important customer but not the unique customer, they try to find niches not fulfilled by other companies, thus they need sucess upon export markets

Brazilian aeronautical manufacturer Embraer announced today that its agricultural aviation division has reached a new sales record. During the first eleven months of this year, the company sold a total of 63 Ipanema 203 aircraft, thus exceeding the figure for the same period in 2021.
As reported by Embraer in a press release, agricultural production during the last harvest in Brazil, which produced 271.2 million tons of grains (almost 14.5 million more than in the previous cycle), was key to the increase in orders.




The greatest demand for the Ipanema 203 comes mainly from the Central-West region of the country, where most of the economic activities of this type are concentrated. However, the volume of sales to operators in other regions has also grown recently.


Sany Onofre, Embraer's Agricultural Aviation Manager, highlighted that the sales of the Ipanema 203 also accompany a greater commitment from the entire segment, with better interactions between those who work in maintenance workshops, training schools, service providers and customers. .

"Collaborating so that everyone has their maintenance up to date, increasing the number of approved workshops and preparing new pilots are some of the essential actions for the development of the sector as a whole," said Onofre. With more than 1,500 delivered aircraft, the model is a leader in the Brazilian agricultural sector.

In this sense, Embraer highlighted the new alliances with the companies Sabri and Agroefetiva, which from 2023 will offer free consultancies to buyers of Ipanema models to optimize aircraft configuration and achieve maximum performance, according to the needs of each client.


The Ipanema 203
The Ipanema 203, the most recent agricultural aircraft developed by Embraer, incorporates substantial improvements in its design. It counts, for example, as stronger stainless steel materials and new wing parts with different geometry. These characteristics slow down the eventual wear caused by the operating conditions in the fields and reduce the cost of long-term maintenance.

In addition, the advanced aerial sprayer features a new engine hood design, with new air outlet grilles that ensure greater cooling.

The installation of the new Sustainable Aerospace Technology Innovation Laboratory arises from the collaboration between the GE company and the government of Querétaro; The equipment was funded through the State Program for the Development of Technology and Innovation (Pedeti), with which in 2022 12 projects in the aerospace industry were supported.

Queretaro, Qro. To manage technological development projects, the new Sustainable Aerospace Technology Innovation Laboratory (ITAS) was installed at the Aeronautical University of Querétaro (UNAQ).

From this place, technology projects will be developed in the management of integrated systems, called GSSI or IVHM, related to the use of data through intelligent systems, to provide the industry with a diagnosis and forecast in real time, explained the Secretary of Development Sustainable (Sedesu), Marco Antonio del Prete Tercero.

In this way, the operation, reliability and maintenance of aeronautical equipment during its life cycle will be optimized.

The installation of the laboratory arises from the collaboration between the GE company and the state government; The equipment was funded through the State Program for the Development of Technology and Innovation (Pedeti), with which in 2022 12 projects in the aerospace industry were supported.

“A laboratory in which knowledge will be generated and the talent from Querétaro will be prepared to continue at the forefront in the aerospace sector. (…) From these facilities, integrated systems technology projects, known as GSSI or IVHM, will be developed and promoted, ”he explained.




As aviation is one of the major generators of CO2 emissions, this laboratory is expected to contribute to the design of solutions for the industry to be carbon neutral.

The general director of GE Aerospace, Andrés Soler Pérez Salazar, stated that the industry has the responsibility to mitigate the emissions it releases into the atmosphere; With this objective, the laboratory will work on generating technology to influence this problem. The development of solutions, he said, will consider various aspects: technological, operational, and system.

“This solution will be given through different aspects: technology, operations, that is, how we use technological products, and the system, how we organize ourselves as a society to use those products. GE Aerospace participates in these three aspects, it is one of them that we are going to focus on here, on the development of technology, with a very clear final objective: the industry has to be zero emissions by 2050”, he specified.
