Wide as a football field . The largest aircraft that Embraer has built this kept secret but now with this format , a small district of Eugenio de Melo near Sao Jose dos Campos , 20 km ahead of the regular company headquarters in Brazil .
Still not the aircraft that will fly . This huge freighter, the KC390 is emerging there in the form of model engineering . What does this mean ? What is an airplane made of synthetic material , strictly the same size that will go into series in the company's factory in Gavião Peixoto 300 km from São Paulo .
It is an extraordinary undertaking. This monster . This giant that can carry 23 tons of cargo or 80 troops or 64 paratroopers ready for combat or dozens wounded on stretchers and accommodated around a central kind of intensive care , he flies in 2015 , starts to leave the production lines in 2014 and already has 60 firm orders coming from 6 different countries . The largest order is from Brazil with 28 units .

Note: We know that other aircraft are much larger than the KC390. The use of the words "monster" and "Giant" are compared to other Embraer aircraft.
