The C-2 transport aircraft is the same as other military transport planes in that it transports a large amount of cargo over long distances, but its unique feature is that it can cruise at the same high speed as passenger planes.
Since they are the latest transport aircraft, they are also designed to be labor-saving and automated, so that they can be operated without the need for specialized flight engineers or navigators.
Dropping cargo can now be done automatically, and malfunctions can be identified automatically, which is quite an improvement from the Kawasaki C-1 transport aircraft.
It seems to have been a difficult development, but how is its performance?
I have put the most effort into creating this video so far. Please take a look.
