Global Top 7 Military Transport Aircraft Programs - 2021-2022 - Program Factsheets, Strategy Focus, Comparative SWOT Analysis, Latest Contracts & Developments and Market Outlook

Military Transport Aircraft programs have a unique & indispensable position in the force structure & logistical capabilities of the Air Forces globally and it is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future

These versatile & mighty flying beasts have been carrying out an array of critical missions & roles ranging from Strategic & Tactical Airlift to ISR, Electronic Warfare, Aerial Refueling, Maritime Patrol, SAR & MEDEVAC, Parachute Drop and of-course, Humanitarian Aid & Relief Operations, which has been so effectively demonstrated and further emphasized in the post-COVID world. A large number of military transport aircraft programs were developed, produced & fielded by the West as well as the East during the Cold-War era with some of them still in active service

The distinction of being the longest, in-production military transport aircraft program goes to the Lockheed Martin's C-130J Super Hercules which has been in production & in-service since the mid-1950s as the undisputed king of tactical airlift capability truly forming the backbone of allied air forces with a large number of variants developed operated by a sizeable global operator base. Soviet legacy programs, too, have made their mark led by the Ilyushin's IL-76 program and the Antonov aircraft family. The efforts towards recapitalization of legacy aircraft platforms, as they reach the end of their service life, have led to emergence of new, scratch-up aircraft programs with the European nations having gone for their jointly developed A400M Atlas strategic airlifter program supplemented by the much smaller CASA-built C-295 and Alenia's C-27J Spartan for tactical missions. Brazilian aerospace major, Embraer, too, has developed its C-390 Millennium tactical jet airlifter from scratch powered by the proven V2500 turbofans presenting a strong & credible challenge to Super Hercules' global domination across regional & international markets with its strong capabilities & the jet-powered value proposition

Global Defense Spending has been on a major upswing over the recent years led by the resurgence of great power competition amongst leading geopolitical powers and spearheaded by the R&D-led technological evolution

The transition of traditional world order towards multi-polarity, marked by the resurgence of great power competition and escalating geopolitical tensions, has effectively heralded a renaissance for the Global Aerospace & Defense industry over the recent years with defense spending clearly on the surge & a clear upswing. The rapid build-up of military capabilities by China and resurgence of Russia on the world horizon has effectively spiraled up defense spending across most regions & parts of the world. The global defense spending reached the $1.98 trillion level for 2020 growing by over 2.6% year on year for 2020 & 3% for 2019 echoing the Cold war-era trend. This resurgence in defense spending globally has driven & further accelerated the upgrade, modernization & recapitalization of ageing, legacy equipment & aircraft programs across most parts of the world while driving the development & procurement of new aircraft programs
