Turboprop-powered, highly reliable.
The Transall C-160 was designed in the early ’60s to replace France’s aging fleet of Nord Noratlas transport aircraft. Developed by Aèrospatiale and Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm, the C-160 is powered by twin Rolls-Royce® turboprop engines. Only one accident has ever been reported in over forty years, placing it among history’s safest and most reliable aircraft. The C-160 will be replaced by the Airbus A400M, which is currently undergoing initial tests. Kit features highly detailed surfaces, a rotating propeller and decals for a Luftwaffe version and a French Air Force version.

Description
Still first-class, 40 years later.
The first-gen 747-100 was deemed suitable for domestic flights, but many felt it lacked the power to handle international payloads. The 747-200 was the solution. First entering service in 1971, initial models were equipped with powerful Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7 engines. Subsequent models offered a choice between these as well as options from G.E.® and Rolls-Royce®. Many 747-200s are in use today, albeit with smaller carriers. Kit features textured surfaces, a simulated undercarriage, four replica engines and a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines decal set.
