Kawasaki C-2 Aircraft Data
The Kawasaki C-2 is a long range, twin-engine transport aircraft. The C-2 is domestically-developed and manufactured, and employs various new aircraft systems, and its deployment by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) began in March 2017. Packed with the most advanced technologies, the C-2 flies faster and achieves greater range than the C-1 and other transport planes owned by the JASDF. With a larger cargo hold than the C-1 it replaces, it can accommodate heavier loads, thereby fulfilling a wide range of missions.
