"We are investigating the C-2, the beautiful flying giant of the JASDF. #aviation #jasdf #aircraft Due to copyright issues, we re-uploaded our De Zeven Provinciën-class frigate video. Do the C-2 compete with the C-130J Super Hercules and C-390 Millenium? Or with the A400M Atlas?" The second paragraph might be a leftover from another description.

[@iatsd]

Replacing the smaller aircraft because they are at the point of needing to *AND* by expanding the order to cover those aircraft it drives the unit cost down to a point they can afford or is more palatable to the government. The offset there is the higher costs of operation over the long term cf the smaller lift needs, which can either simply be accepted or, if the JASDF expands - and they may well be planning on exactly that - they can, as you say, acquire a smaller option in the future for that lighter role.

Finally a video not comparing this aircraft to the c-390

[@Leptospirosi]

The Kawasaki C2 is almost twice the size of a C390

[@joaopedroeduardo8462]

@@Leptospirosi C2: 144x145x46 X C390: 115x115x38 The C2 isn't even close to being "almost twice" the size of the C390. It is bigger, but to say it is almost twice the size is a very serious scale error. Furthermore, the c390 is considerably cheaper in purchase cost and maintenance compared to the C2.

@@joaopedroeduardo8462 144x145x46 = 960.480, 115x115x38 = 502.550. When you're comparing 3-dimensional objects you have to consider overall volume, not individual dimensions. The C2 actually *IS* almost twice the size of the C-390, and that puts them in very different roles. No mistake there, @Leptospirosi is just right.

[@dl6519]

Excellent video!

[@nbnb7263]

Thank you for re-uploading. I'm very happy! The reason for the deployment of the C-2 is not only overseas deployment missions, but also changes in defense doctrine. Japan is trying to shift its defense focus to the Okinawa Islands, where friction with China is escalating, and is trying to establish a system to assemble the rapid response units (called the "即応機動連隊(rapid response mobile regiment)", a small mechanized regiment centered around the Type 16 MCV) deployed throughout the Japanese archipelago in the Okinawa Islands in the event of an emergency. As a means to achieve this, the C-2, with its excellent payload, range and speed, is an important item.

[@Leptospirosi]

I would add synergy with South Korea and The Philippines which requires a large payload per route.

[@habahan4257]

[@cruisinguy6024]

I’m really surprised this and the P-1 ASW aircraft were not jumped on my foreign militaries as they seem to be pretty solid designs. I mean, come on. This little bugger has TWO 747-400 engines and as such is no slouch. Personally I think it and the P-1 have a lot of potential.

[@The_ZeroLine]

Impressive cruise and top seed. They did it themselves to continue maintaining a domestic aviation production base and expand it into larger aircraft.

[@Leptospirosi]

A perfect fit for the Italian Air force which would synergize perfectly with the P3 for a much needed long range ASW patrol aircraft due to many commonalities in the airframe. In exchange Italy could offer the M346 for advanced training, on which the JSDAF already trains its pilots in Sardinia, and the C27 Spartan for landing and take of from small islands in the China sea.

[@Monkey-ud8bw]

It’s a great looking aircraft, baby C-17. I’m surprised that this hasn’t done better considering that C-17’s aren’t being produced.

The C-2 is incredible. Honestly I think the USAF/USMC should consider it. It has the perfect range and speed requirements for the Sino-Pacific theatre, whilst also having rough field performance, only 2 engines (easier maintenance) and it looks cool as fuck.

[@jesusrodriguez1461]

C-2 has better range, carry capacity, higher speed, and only requires half the distance to take off.

[@hemaccabe4292]

@@jesusrodriguez1461 Thank-you. What's the economic comparison? Fuel cost per mile, cost to purchase, maintenance costs, etc. That would make a great video. You could make a series of videos. Make it like it was an elimination tournament. All currently available options compared 2 per video till you get to a champ.

[@apparition13]

@@hemaccabe4292 C-2 should be better on fuel cost because it was designed to fly at commercial speeds and altitudes. Most cargo aircraft are too slow and are limited by air traffic control rules to lower altitudes and therefore thicker air and more drag, which reduces their fuel efficiency. The C-2 was also designed to reach Hawaii from Japan, so it is an airlifter that can do strategic airlift as well as tactical. That's why they designed it for commercial speeds and altitudes. The C-390 is essentially a jet powered C-130 competitor, the C-2 is more like a mini-C-17. I don't know about cost of purchase and per flight hour.

American Engineering is what enables both Japan and Brazil to even build anything. Secondly, the GE engines on the Kawasaki are made by a GE & Mitsubishi joint project. A technology transfer.

機体規模とペイロード的に考えてA400Mじゃろ？C-17は1ランク大きいクラスだし、KC-390はハークがライバル。

[@moss550]

Twin jet is questionable choice for military transport where fuel economy and maintenance cost is a secondary consideration. Basically cargo plane must be able to takeoff with one engine failed. So for a plane with say 100 tons of capacity on all engine, a quad jet can safely fly 75, whereas a twin jet can only fly 50. This is why the C2 has substantially lower load capacity than the IL76 despite having more total thrust than the latter. For a military transport, this can be the difference of whether the plane can carry a MBT or not. I would guess C2 was deliberately crippled this way so it cannot compete with C17.

[@SYNtemp]

Unless you see these planes taking off/landing in places directly under enemy fire, the engine-out problem isnever more dramatic during last 50 years or so, as engine reliability has gone way up. Civilian planes TOO requre OEI (one engine inoperative) operation, especially at start and still need to be able to show positive rate of climb even on single engine (using emergency power rating of the remaining engine, which ofcourse reduces its remaining service life). So no, just like in civilian use, the "main" big transport aircraft are overwhelmingly using two engines configuration, just like for example the C390, and it's not a problem. A400 only has 4 engines bcse it's turboprop, and there are no such big turboprop engines that produce enough power in only 2 of them.

[@mrmakhno3030]

C 2 shouldn't be compared with Il 76, or at least you should compare it with the right variant. Compare C 2 with the latest model of Il 76 make no sense since its a strategic airlifter.

[@moss550]

@@mrmakhno3030 Why not, Il76 is only 2.5 meter longer than the C2. Empty Il76 weight 92.5 tonnes vs C2 69 tonnes, yet the four D-30KP produce total of only 470kN vs C2's twin GE CF6 531kN. So the two planes are roughly the same size, but C2 is lighter and have more powerful engines, yet the 4 engine Il76 has a lift capacity of 50 tonnes vs 36 for the twin jet C2. Guess what, double the C2 capacity 36*2 = 72, and 72*(3/4) = 54 which is roughly the capacity of a Il76. Had the C2 been fitted with quad jet, it would be able to safely lift much more. (C17 is 53m long and is much larger than the Il76)

[@SYNtemp]

@@moss550 Carrying capacity of old models Il-76 is 42/48t, only the latest MD-90A version has 60t, while having among other things reworked wing, which has 10% bigger wingspan and also higher surface area. You could say C-2 (which has btw. max capacity of 37,6t) is over-engined but otherwise far lighter built, and smaller, thus no wonder it can carry less load. It wasn't REQUIRED to carry more. Yes it fails to transport MBT, but that is for many countries not the requirement... If you like to compare it to anything, compare it to C-390... same concept, same number of engines, about 50% more capacity... Trust me, if Japan would be serious about offering C-2 to international customers, there are many who would take these parameters for interresting (also the range!) and for right price would consider it.

[@yo2trader539]

This plane was designed to use Japanese runways, especially regional runways which have shorter distance. I won't get into it, but it was designed for specific cargo, enemies, and runways in mind.

Japan also buys the new C-130. The c27 spartan is not a good plane. He took to USA and retired early. They were not satisfied. If the Japanese were smart, they would offer it to the Turks. I think they would take it. they need.
