New Delhi, Feb. 2 -- Saab and Embraer, in cooperation with the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), have successfully completed the certification flight test campaign for in-flight refuelling of the F-39 E Gripen fighter by the KC-390 Millennium multi-mission aircraft. The flight test campaign consisted of two objectives. The first involved qualifying Gripen E as a receiver for in-flight refuelling - a key step in validating the fighter's performance, stability and structural integrity throughout the operation. The second focused on verifying the compatibility of both aircraft across the KC-390's entire flight envelope, for high-speed refuelling under both day and night conditions.
