please tell me this isnt only for luxury
yup it is...actually we brought more than we needed..
as PIA was /may be privatized(it should be aimed to abolish corruption and 30 billion loses) the VIP role(like most countries) was to be shifted to PAF(i think it already has)..

Cockpit pic is PAF Phenom-100, Embarer build, VIP transport.

if one looks closely at the 1st pic of the a/c, you can see the 'seats' of the a/c through the open door, they are different than the pic posted of the 'interior'. the phenoms dont come with that configuration!

Y-9

The first Y-9 prototype (#941) is shown here parked at CFTE airfield. The design was first unveiled at the 11th Beijing Airshow in September 2005. Y-9 is the next generation medium-size and medium-range transport aircraft to replace the obsolete Y-8 series transport aircraft. It appears to have superceded the earlier Y-8-X project (initially dubbed Y-8U?). The aircraft features a spacious cargo cabin which can quickly load/unload maximum 20t containerized cargo, or airdrop 13.2t equipment or 98 paratroopers. It also has a 4-crew cockpit featuring 6 color MFDs and EFIS. The aircraft is equipped with advanced communication, navigation, radar, EGWPS, collision avoidance systems to ensure safe flight under all weather conditions. The aircraft will be powered by 4 WJ-6C turboprops (rated @ 5,100ehp each) with JL-4 6-blade propellers made of composite materials, which improve its high temperature and high altitude performance. Some specifications: max TO weight 65t, max payload 20t or 106 paratroopers, 15t payload range 2,200km, max range 5,000km, max level speed 650km/h, cruise speed 550km/h, service ceiling 10,100m, cruise altitude 8,000m. The development of Y-9 started officially in October 2005 and the construction of the first prototype (tail and head sections) started in 2006. However the project appeared to have been halted in 2007 due to shifting the production to the high priority High New series as well as Y-8C transport aircraft. The developement of Y-9 resumed in late 2008 after the two year delay and the first prototype was rumored to have made its maiden flight on November 5, 2010.

JULY 29, 2011: Y-9 undergoing flight testing
Last week a picture emerged on a Chinese military website (cnair.top81.cn) of what is apparently a prototype of the Y-9. Following this, an industry source told Flightglobbal that it has yet to conduct its first flight, but earlier this week a news story appeared on the Internet that it was undergoing flight testing.
the aircraft may well give its first public appearance at Zuhai Airshow 2012

Photos display, Y -9 transport aircraft produced by Shaanxi Aircraft Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. appeared on the airport of Flight Test Research Institute of China, which shows that this type of aerotransport is on test. The aircraft is a alternative of long-awaited Y -8 medium transport, and also the latest reformed aero transport of An-12 transport aircraft developed by Soviet-era Antonov Design Bureau.

Y-9 evolved from the conceptual design of Y-8X displaced at 2005 Beijing air show. it have a payload 20-tons, powered by four Wojiang FWJ-6C turboprop engines, and equipped with 6-bladed JL-4 composite propellers. a ferry range of 7800 KM with maximum payload and flight eduarance of 12 hours. he tail ramp will be capable of handling vehicle cargo. The aircraft is capable of transporting 25 tons of cargo, or configured with 106 troop seats in troop transport role, or 72 stretchers for medical evacuation role, or up to 132 armed paratroopers in para-drop role. The cargo space can handle nine standard 108"x88" pallets, or eight 125" x 96" pallets.

the Y-9 will be the perfect solution for Pakistan military tactical transport duties. it is reported to be on par with C-130J and wont have any on the disadvantages that come along with the US or European systems., that is, big big $$ game and lots of do's and dont's

regards!

phenom 100 is probably the smartest investment air force made in terms of transporting VIPs..
instead of flying into those big fuel thirsty jets, now they could use this! its a hell lot more fuel efficient than anything in our inventory!
