US Army seeks information on small transports


The US Army has released a request for information (RFI) on potential replacements for its Beechcraft C-12 King Air and Fairchild C-26 Metroliner light transport aircraft.
The RFI requests specifics for an in-production, multi-engined aircraft for single-pilot operations. The platform should be capable of carrying up to nine passengers or 2,700lb (1,200kg) of cargo, and of operating from rough fields. The army further requests that the aircraft should cruise at no less than 275kt (500km/h).
