The Aeritalia G-222 twin-engine transport aircraft was designed in the late 1960s by the famous Giuseppe Gabrielli, fighter designer such as G.55 and G. 91 and was born for a specific need of the Italian Air Force: to have a tactical transport aircraft, smaller than the four-engine Lockheed C-130 Hercules, able to take off and landing from very short and unprepared runways.

The RAAF Spartan C27J is a military transport aircraft used by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). It is a versatile and robust aircraft designed for a wide range of missions, including troop and cargo transport, airborne operations, and humanitarian relief.
