Short Question
What is the difference between Casa CN 235 and C-295?

The C295, as it was introduced, is almost identical to the CN235 except for a fuselage extended by 3.1 meters (10 feet), with 50% more payload capacity, larger wing tanks, and more powerful PWC PW127G engines, providing 1,972 kW (2,645 SHP) each, driving six-bladed Hamilton-Standard props.

Among these, 16 units of the military aircraft will be manufactured in Spain while the rest will be made in India from the manufacturing facility in Vadodara, Gujarat.

The new aircraft will play a major role in the forces as a tactical military transport aircraft.
