Not all cargo are heavy. Sometimes they are relatively light but bulky. Take a box of ramen noodles, for example. According to Amazon.com a box of Maru-chan noodles is 11.5 x 8 x 10.5 inches weighing 7 pounds. Assuming a pallet size of 2.5 x 2 x 1.6 meters, each pallet can carry 500 boxes. (For the sake of simplicity, I'm rounding to the a nice round number. But around that number.) Four pallets will be 2000 boxes. At 7 pounds per box, that's 6350 kg. With C-295 you can maybe eke out another half pallet on the closed ramp, getting over 7 tons of ramen noodles. But with C-27J, despite their 11 ton cargo capacity, you'll be limited to 3.5 pallet max, which is 5557 kg.<br /><br />If you want to deliver Humvees, C-27J is superior, but if you want to deliver emergency food ration to the one of the smaller islands in Visayas, for example, C-27J isn't ideal.<br /><br />You are right that C-27J MP is available. It's just that the price is likely not within reach. Of course, when the MP project comes out, Alenia is free to bid within the budget. The DND would be delighted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-1510065913023643832013-11-07T22:23:41.297+11:002013-11-07T22:23:41.297+11:00waiting foir all of ur updates sir max...waiting foir all of ur updates sir max...rival_coolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01937046516408370917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-12151704181697898552013-11-06T18:37:53.930+11:002013-11-06T18:37:53.930+11:00The requirements are clearly tailored to C-295: un...The requirements are clearly tailored to C-295: unfair competition.<br />Please explain me the advantage to carry one more empty pallet!<br />It is not true that a MP version of C-27J will not be available it is now offered to Canadians for FWSAR furthermore the multimission MC-27J variant offers many more capabilities than MP of course not at the same price than cargo.Peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-33510614400708482212013-11-06T16:37:33.658+11:002013-11-06T16:37:33.658+11:00Any updates Max of FA 50's and Ramon Alcaraz t...Any updates Max of FA 50's and Ramon Alcaraz to be fitted with harpoons??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159308124368300648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-46873525018959429062013-11-06T16:01:50.173+11:002013-11-06T16:01:50.173+11:00napakatagal ng proseso talaga...... kahit high sch...napakatagal ng proseso talaga...... kahit high school alam nyan kung pano malaman specs ng mga figther jets na yan at fixed wing aircrafts bat kailangan pa ng mga heneral na yan na nag e evaluate ng mga bidding na yan?baka nag aantay ng kickback?o walang alam?paki abolish na lang ang PMA kasi parang walang mga alam ang mga graduates...nakakahiya kayo sa mga kapwa nyo pilipino...President Pnoy pakitanggal na lang po ang mga taong nag eevaluate ng bidding na yan..di ako comforme sa mga ginagawa nila.puro may hirit sa bidding ang daming rason ng kung ano ano.......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-47347879332077634282013-11-06T01:40:58.353+11:002013-11-06T01:40:58.353+11:00This is not a real fair competition!

If the PAF would try to acquire second hand, I would choose the F-16 block 52.. The US can give us anytime there excess F-16's, but the DND doesn't want them due to maintenance cost.. same with the Kfir... its hardware cost too much... Much better if the DND would procure Israeli missiles, but I dont think they have the balls to procure missiles... Philippines has no definite missile capabilities.. We only have rockets for ground attack.. But for Air defense and Anti Ship, we dont have the s#it.. We could always buy what other countries could buy.. Our Government does not have the political will.. They want the Philippines to look like we are poor militarily so the US could help us anytime if we are attacked.. But now things change, the US dont want to interfere with what is China doing.. Look at Japan, they are just looking at the situation..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-52673220289167907562013-10-31T13:27:03.940+11:002013-10-31T13:27:03.940+11:00Anybody know how many submitted bids and how much ...Anybody know how many submitted bids and how much they were?<br /><br />OsmondAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-20086168829548379792013-10-31T02:00:43.516+11:002013-10-31T02:00:43.516+11:00that paint scheme would ruin an another wise sexy ...that paint scheme would ruin an another wise sexy looking aircraft (CJ Spartan).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-88516823304507600602013-10-30T14:23:39.282+11:002013-10-30T14:23:39.282+11:00KAI FA-50 vs Kfir Block 60, a comparative analysis...KAI FA-50 vs Kfir Block 60, a comparative analysis. http://rhk111smilitaryandarmspage.wordpress.com/2013/10/24/kfir-block-60-for-the-philippine-air-force/ Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
