VIEW SPECIFICATIONS [+]
Bombardier Defense has partnered with defense powerhouse General Dynamics (Mission Systems-Canada) to proposed to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) the Canadian Multi-Mission Aircraft (CMMA) for its maritime patrol requirement. The aircraft is being design on the proven framework of Bombardier's own Global 6500 bizjet with all-new twin turbofan engines to promote exceptional operational range as well as mission-to-mission reliability to go along with the platform's inherent versatility.

The aircraft retains its basic external appearance with the flight deck seated aft and over the sloping-down nosecone for excellent vision out-of-the-cockpit. The low-mounted mainplanes are of monoplane form with sweepback and capped by winglets. The tail continues use of the Multhopp "T-style" plane arrangement which seats the horizontal stabilizer high atop the single vertical fin to help clear the jet wash. The turbofans are held on short wing stubs along the rear section of the fuselage.

The proposed aircraft will have a ventral fuselage addition to house air-launched weaponry and missiles will be supported under the mainplanes externally across four hardpoints. Various sensors are noted along the dorsal and ventral lines of the fuselage as well as along the wing trailing edges. A Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD) is set at the extreme rear of the fuselage at the base of the tailfin. For ground-running, the traditional tricycle arrangement will be retained. The passenger cabin will be reworked to house multiple crew work stations. Aircraft performance will remain largely unaffected by the planned modifications.

All signs currently point to an impressive competitor for the CMMA requirement, certainly one that is set to continue supporting the Canadian aerospace industry for decades to come.©MilitaryFactory.com
