The Aeritalia G-222 twin-engine transport
aircraft was designed in the late 1960s by Giuseppe Gabrielli. It was created for a specific need of the
Italian Air Force: to have a tactical transport aircraft, smaller than the
four-engine C-130 Hercules, able to take off and land from very short and
unprepared runways. The two turboprop engines can make the G-222 reach 480 km/h
and the aircraft is characterized by excellent maneuverability even when fully
loaded. Since 2005 it has been progressively replaced by its evolution, the
C-27J Spartan. The Alenia C-27J Spartan is the new extensively updated and
improved version of the G 222 tactical transport aircraft. The Spartan is
equipped with two new and powerful AE2100-D2 turboprop engines capable of
bringing the aircraft up to speed. of over 600 km / h. It can carry up to 68
soldiers or 46 fully equipped paratroopers, or over 11 tons of materials. The
version supplied to the Italian Air Force also includes 2 Head Up Displays,
digital cockpit and advanced avionics systems that give the aircraft
all-weather capabilities and in the riskiest operational areas. It has also
been used in Afghanistan to support military and humanitarian operations.
