Brazilian manufacturer Embraer (Static B8) brought its KC-390 tactical airlifter to the Paris Air Show this week as production of the type accelerates to fill an order for 28 by the Brazilian air force. Embraer’s defense and business aviation units will remain independent following the upcoming sale of a majority stake to Boeing of the company’s commercial aviation business. Boeing remains a marketing partner for the KC-390, however, and this partnership is expected to be fully in place at the beginning of 2020.
