SUPPORT AIRCRAFT
A400M
_The A400M is a tactical turboprop-powered, transport aircraft designed
for the replacement of current C-130 Hercules and C-160 Transall cargo
aircraft in service in the European Air Forces. The new transport
aircraft will offer increased payload, cruise speed and range over
current cargo aircraft. In addition, the A400M will become the standard
tactical cargo aircraft of most European Air Forces.
The A400M aircraft will meet the requirements of European Air Forces well into the 21st century while enhancing Europe's airlift capability. It will be able to takeoff from short (less than 1,000 meters) and rough runways and to operate autonomously loading and unloading payloads through its own resources independently of ground support. The aircraft has a rear loading ramp and T tail.

Dornier 228
The Dornier 228 New Generation is the most versatile and most advanced high-wing aircraft in its class. This is why authorities all over the world count on it when it comes to demanding special missions of various kinds. Key features are the long range, high utilization rates and high payload – and all this at impressively low operational costs. Pilots know that there is hardly another aircraft combining state-of-the-art technology and efficiency in the way the Dornier 228 New Generation does.
Depending entirely on the individual customer‘s needs, RUAG supplies the Dornier 228 New Generation as special mission, commuter or cargo transportation aircraft.

A330 MRTT
_Airbus Military’s A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport is the most capable in-flight refuelling platform available today.
It is derived from the best-selling A330 widebody twin-engine commercial airliner, and excels in the full range of operational tanker mission scenarios. The aircraft also has designed-in flexibility for cargo, passengers and aeromedical evacuation. It combines advanced avionics with Airbus’ proven fly-by-wire control system and the most up-to-date manufacturing techniques, enabling the lowest operating costs.
The A330 MRTT can directly support a fighter squadron's deployment by carrying its operational personnel and equipment while also performing refuelling escort for the squadron's combat aircraft to an overseas base. This allows the fighter squadron to deploy as a unit, and then quickly ramp up to a combat-level sortie rate after arrival.
The A330 MRTT’s significant fuel capacity (111 tonnes/245,000 lbs.) – combined with high offload rates – ensures that all receiver aircraft can be refuelled efficiently and quickly. Multi-point refuelling allows the A330 MRTT to top off several receiver aircraft simultaneously. Its state-of-the-art Aerial Refuelling Boom System (ARBS) from Airbus Military, combined with Cobham hose and drogue refuelling systems, provide the unique capability to service probe-equipped and slipway-equipped aircraft during the same mission.

A319 MPA
_The MPA319 is a maritime patrol aircraft developed on the basis of the
Airbus A320 airliner designed to meet the joint requirements of Germany
and Italy for an eventual replacement for their aging Atlantic aircraft.
The new aircraft will provide naval surveillance and Anti-Submarine
Warfare (ASW) capability.
The MPA319 aircraft will integrate advanced sensors, tactical data management and communications systems, stores and weapons compartments, and a crew area for long endurance missions.

Grob G120
The G 120TP symbolizes the 21st century evolution of basic flight training.
Simplicity in pilot operation and system functions make the G 120TP the only sophisticated mission training platform that can accommodate typical elementary, basic and advanced pilot training segments.
The cost efficiency of the G 120TP redefines training cost and budgets. High performance, full Virtual Tactical Training capability including HOTAS, combined with high dispatch reliability make the G120 TP not only the most cost efficient solution for the future, but also the best integrated training system overall.
Safety is not compromised with the new light weight Ejection Seat by Martin Baker, securing the operators future pilot investment. GROB Aircraft AG´s integration of the reliable RR 250-B17F turbine provides a power upgrade while eliminating the need of multiple fuels.

Grob G115
The GROB G 115E entry trainer combines comfort and good ergonomics with an outstanding aerobatic and a service life of 24.000hr. A tough landing gear supports rugged training environments. The aircraft provides the largest cockpit in its class with ample shoulder room and spacious seats for large pilots wearing full military equipment with helmets and even when wearing a parachute.
The individual seating position can be adjusted by means of back and squab cushions and adjustable rudder pedals. Students can use either seat - optional second throttle available. With a panoramic view, the G 115E provides the right cockpit for pilot screening, training and aerobatics.
