Do you perhaps have a link to a picture or drawing of this plane? I did a search but came up with nothing and I am wondering what this new plane looks like.

Thanks!

Rather difficult to find pictures of this aircraft by the way! Could only find some "official PR" ones...

Saw this one 2,5 years ago at Gifu. Looks like a C-1 on steroids...

Hi,all.
XC-2 had made her F/F on Jan.26, from 1018am to 1133am(this time is not the official time.
A Japanese guy wrote at his HP.)
Kawasaki Heavy Industry will have some test flight until the en of March, and then deliver to the TRDI/ADTW.
