The agreement includes the joint development, manufacturing, commercialisation and support of the aircraft, which will be renamed the NC212. The aircraft, to be certified by EASA and FAA, will feature new digital avionics and autopilot systems and will be offered to military and commercial customers, the latter in a new 28-seat configuration.
