LUS-222 is a high-wing twin with a rear load port created by the Engineering and Product Development Center (CEIIA), the Portuguese Air Force and the Geosat Company, which is the first plane in Portugal, is expected to be on the first flight in 2028.
Project developers estimate that the plane will have the potential to carry 19 passengers or two tonnes of loads that can also work in military missions, search and rescue missions and regional commercial aviation. The plane reaches up to 2,100 km and can reach speeds of 370 km per hour.
Speaking to the Portuguese Air Force Chief of Staff Zono Cartoxo Alvees, the plane was initially designed for regional civil transport, but the development of capabilities and perspectives for military activities with the synthesis of the Air Force.
“The Air Force has joined the project by looking at the needs of the air force and has been able to receive the flight to fulfill some basic missions, that is, from the beginning, supporting life protection, search and rescue, transport and loads, loading and land in need of life, and in need of land, and the impossibility of land is impossible for the land.”
“That is why the Air Force has joined the project to develop this feature of ‘dual-use’ and military and we are developing this project.”He said.

“Now we are also looking at a very interesting partnership between Portugal and Brazil’s abilities, they are completely with the concept, thought and development of the Portuguese plane, but even with the Brazilian company Aker, it draws the structures of the aircraft, the fuselage and therefore the virtuous share“, Ended up
