The Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante is a general purpose 15-21 passenger twin-turboprop light transport aircraft suitable for military and civil duties. It was manufactured by the Brazilian corporation, Embraer.
Bandeirante () was the name given to the Portuguese settlers and pioneers who expanded the limits of the Portuguese Empire, language and culture in Brazil by progressively moving in and then settling from the early coastal settlements towards the inner, then unknown and uncharted zones of the vast continent.
The goal was to create a general purpose aircraft, suitable for both civilian and military roles with a low operational cost and high reliability. On this measure, the EMB 110 has succeeded.
The first prototype, with the military designation YC-95, was flown on 26 October 1968. Two more prototypes were built, and an order placed for 80 production aircraft, by now known as the Bandeirante for the Brazilian Air Force with the newly formed aircraft company Embraer.
The Bandeirante received its Brazilian airworthiness certificate at the end of 1972.
Further development of the EMB 110 was halted by the manufacturer in order to shift focus to the larger, faster, and pressurized 30-seat EMB 120 Brasilia.
On Dec 15, 2010, the Brazilian Air Force first flew an upgraded EMB 110 equipped with modern avionics equipment. Designated as the C/P-95, the aircraft has had several new systems installed by Israeli firm Elbit Systems' Brazilian subsidiary, Aeroeletronica. The Brazilian Air Force has an active fleet of 96 EMB-110s.
Over the next 21 years Embraer built 494 aircraft in numerous configurations for a variety of roles including: YC-95 or EMB 100 - Prototype, powered by two 550 shp (410 kW) Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-20 turboprop engines. Three built. EMB 110 Initial production version, powered by 680 shp (507 kW) PT6A-27 engines - Twelve seat military transport for the Brazilian Air Force, who designate it the C-95. 60 built. EMB 110A - Radio calibration version for the Brazilian Air Force (EC-95). Three built.
Production was halted in 1990, as the EMB 110 had been superseded by the increasingly popular EMB120.
