The C-27J Spartan Next Generation (NG) is a foundational tactical transport aircraft produced by Leonardo. The C-27J is an evolution of the G.222, developed and manufactured in collaboration with Lockheed Martin as the C-27J Spartan. This rugged aircraft is recognized for its short take-off and landing (STOL) capability and ability to operate reliably in austere environments. The NG variant enhances performance, features, and efficiency through new avionics and winglets.
Leonardo is a global industrial company rooted in Italy, formed through the merger and rebranding of various aerospace and defense entities, including Finmeccanica, consolidating a long history of Italian aviation design and manufacturing. Leonardo specializes in aerospace, defense, and security, producing aircraft, helicopters, electronics, and cyber security solutions for governments and militaries worldwide.
A selection of access platforms and stands address key maintenance and inspection needs across the aircraft. Platforms assist with the detailed maintenance of the nose section, including avionics and the windshield, and the forward fuselage, supporting cargo and cabin access points. Modular staging is critical for the main and nose landing gear components. Stands and platforms are essential for maintenance around the wing box, fuel tanks, and the engine pylon, including the engine’s inlet, exhaust, and complex internal components like the fan, compressor, and turbine. The aft fuselage, which houses the APU compartments, rear avionics, and cargo doors, also requires specialized access solutions, as does the tail section for the vertical and horizontal stabilizers and rudder control surfaces. These tools ensure thorough and methodical servicing of all critical aircraft sections.
