The Embraer EMB 121 Xingu (pronounced "''shingoo''") is a twin-turboprop fixed-wing aircraft built by the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer, Embraer. The design of this plane is based on the EMB 110 Bandeirante, using its wing and engine design merged with an all-new fuselage. The EMB 121 first flew on 10 October 1976.〔Michell 1994, p.9〕 A modified form of the EMB 121, the EMB 121A1 Xingu II, was introduced on 4 September 1981 with a more powerful engine (PT6A-135), increased seating (8 or 9 passengers) and a larger fuel capacity. Before production ceased in August 1987, Embraer had produced 106 EMB 121 aircraft, 51 of which were exported to countries outside Brazil. Currently, the French Air Force is the largest operator with 43 aircraft still in service. ==Variants== * EMB 121A Xingu I : Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-28 * EMB 121A1 Xingu II : Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-135 * EMB 121V Xingu III : Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-42 * EMB 123 Tapajós: planned version with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-45 * VU-9 : Brazilian Air Force version. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Embraer EMB 121 Xingu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
