The Transall C-160 is a military cargo transport that first flew in 1963. It is flown primarily by France, Germany and Turkey.
The aircraft have been used for a variety of missions in addition to the transport of troops and cargo. Their roles include aerial refueling, communications and reconnaissance.
Transall C-160 aircraft are capable of flying from unimproved runways due to their heavy duty landing gear. Special flaps with dual slots, propellers with reverse pitch, and effective spoilers, enable short take offs and landings.
The manufacturer began designing the aircraft in 1959. It was first deployed in 1967. The last aircraft to be built left the factory in 1987. Through the years the aircraft has been updated and improved. These improvements have included new avionics, strengthening the wings, and increased fuel capacity.
A total of 214 Transall C-160 aircraft of all types were manufactured.
