Following its first flight on May 25th 2017, Lockheed Martin’s LM-100J will be ready to make its global debut at the upcoming 2017 International Paris Air Show. The commercial freighter aircraft is an updated version of the L-100 cargo aircraft. It also represents a new mission capability for the C-130J Super Hercules aircraft platform.

The craft will be featured in a static display at the Paris-Le Bourget Airport starting on June 19th, with a media briefing to be held on June 20th. Impressive And Versatile Capabilities The LM-100J has been designed to be a multi-purpose commercial air freighter with rapid cargo transport capabilities. Since the craft is able to take off and land from short and rudimentary airfields, it’s being marketed as a solution for efficient transport of bulk and oversized cargo to harsh and inhospitable locations. It’s also capable of performing a range of other missions, including medevac procedures, firefighting, and even VIP transport.

This year’s airshow is also expected to showcase how technology like additive manufacturing, automation, and a new approach to systems integration will impact the present and future of aviation.
