Due to changing needs after Vietnam, this plane design only saw two prototypes built, but it had super capabilities.
Very interesting! Thanks!
Looks like a C-130 and an A-10 had a baby.
Pretty kool, thanks
This plane should be readily available to deliver troops, supplies and rescue.
A modern version that doesn't have quite the short field capability, but is better than a C130 non the less.

I always wanted one of these
I don't think the C-390 uses the same lift design. The AN-72/74 does.

It doesn't, but has similar capacity for cargo. The Coanda effect is what I remember the AN-72 using for its STOL capability.I don't think the C-390 uses the same lift design. The AN-72/74 does.
