KC-390
(Bad) PICTURES: joint Russia/India medium transport aircraft:
Yesterday India's HAL, Russia's United Aircraft, and the
two firms' joint venture signed an agreement to get started on the Medium
Transport Aircraft programme.I found a few images of what this aircraft is supposed to
look like.
From a public relations perspective, it would be great
if these guys could align their images, and then furnish us journos with
nice, high resolution images when making announcements. Not to be a prima donna, but don't they want publicity for this thing?
HAL provided an intriguing image of the MTA aircraft in
desert camouflage, but it's in very low res, meaning we can't use it in Flight
International. Heck, I'm even a bit embarrassed to use it here.
The other image by HAL is basically a model that's been laid
on a dirt road somewhere at midday. It doesn't even look as if the model is
equipped with landing gear, and somehow those tree shadows really throw things
off.
If they really want to sell 60 of these things to other
countries, it would help if they could come up with some sleeker marketing.

Image from HAL site. Ever heard of 'high res', guys?
HAL image depicts rough strip capability. Does it come with action figures?
Image from United Aircraft. Sigh.
Another image from United Aircraft. Getting a bit better.
A last United Aircraft image. Four containers!
