Development[]

By 25 September 2020, a joint-venture between Brazilian Desaer and Portuguese engineering centre CEIIA was expected to create 1,200 jobs at a new integrated factory in Evora. The ATL-100 should then be developed over three years.[2]

Design[]

The ATL-100 is a non-pressurized, twin-turboprop, high-wing utility aircraft with a fixed tricycle landing gear and an aft cargo ramp. With an MTOW up to 19,000 lb (8.6 t), it should be certified under the part 23 commuter category for 19 passengers or three LD3 containers. It could operate on unpaved and short runaways, with low or absent ground support; and targets robustness and easy maintenance, and low operations costs. Quick-change variants could be offered for air ambulance, emergency evacuation, paratrooper or troop transport; and for patrol, surveillance, intelligence, reconnaissance.[3]
