The Embraer KC-390 program has returned to flight-test status after a slowdown caused by Brazil’s financial crisis. The prototype tanker/airlifter flew from the manufacturer’s test center in Gavião Pexioto, Brazil, on October 26, the second time it has flown since its maiden flight on February 3. Embraer (Stand 2260 and Chalet A7) planned to fly the prototype again before the Dubai Airshow.
