Embraer and Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) have signed an agreement for the purchase of one A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft, announced during the AFA Air, Space & Cyber Conference. The sale comes ahead of a pending Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case.
SNC’s early investment enables immediate pilot training and could accelerate Initial Operational Capability by up to a year. The aircraft will be built at Embraer’s Jacksonville, Florida, production line.
The A-29, operated by 22 air forces worldwide, has logged more than 600,000 flight hours and supports missions ranging from close air support and ISR to border surveillance and pilot training.
