An international project on joint development, production and sales of twin-turbofan Tactical Transport Aircraft envisions solidary cooperation of the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (India), the IRKUT Corporation and the Ilyushin Aviation Complex (Russia), with their design teams to be merged into a virtual enterprise.The programme of Tactical Transport Aircraft development will significantly broaden the horizons of Indo-Russian military-technical cooperation. While implementing this innovative programme, Russian and Indian engineers will acquire invaluable experience and expertise in joint creation of the top-of-the-line aviation product.For the first time, the airlifter is being co-developed by both countries on a parity basis without governmental financing with the project's cost of nearly USD 300 ... 400 mln. The IRKUT Corporation plays a key role of major investor (40% of project expenses) and coordinator of the Russian side.By 2015-2020 this transport aircraft with up to 18.5-t carrying capability is supposed to replace aging fleet of the An-12, An-26, C-130. Indian Air Force plans to acquire 45 Tactical Transport Aircraft and Russian market will demand nearly 100 transport aircraft within next 12 years.Video credit: IRKUT Corporation

The project started in 2001...it's 2008...isn't it high time that the project gets completed by now?

Read the other comment by adknat:Globemaster is 4 Engined and this is two engined aircraft. Copy ???? Does that mean that a Honda since is having an engine in the front is copying toyota which also is having an engine in the front...Sheesh mindless comments... Also, you have 2 eyes, 2 arms and 2 legs. So am I. I think you are my copy, isn't it?

Looks like a direct copy of the Ilyushin 76!

C-390 has 8 ton capability.C-130 propuse size.

Compared to the An-70 and Tu-330 this project appears it will never fly. The Tu-330 allows for 2 times more cargo capacity in nearly the same sized aircraft. It would use new generation prop-fan engines for better fuel efficiency and range.

Correction An-72-300.
Maloross (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)
How many Brazilian C-390 have left the ground? What you are thinking of is An-74-200, 2 jet engine transport. And its current development, the An-148. Both of which have flown and are not paper models.
