This jet is meant to replace Japans fleet
of C-130 Hercules and Kawasaki C-1s
first flew in early 2010 and is currently
undergoing flight testing. Designed to
operate from 7,000-foot runways
while carrying 37-tons of cargo, the jet aesthetically resembles a mini-Boeing
C-17 Globemaster III and is powered
by the GE CF6 turbofan, the same engine found on Boeing 747s and the
re-engined Lockheed C-5M Super
Galaxy.
