The
HCSAF is to work with
Clone Aircraft Corporation (CAC) on a next generation of civil airliners but with an eye to developing the designs for military use. The HCSAF's
Technology Development Agency will assist CAC with the designs for a new medium-haul airliner to replace the
C-440 and a new regional airliner to replace the
C-370.
The new types will be the
C-445 which will be a total redesign of the C-440 with refined aerodynamics, carbon fibre, a new wing and engines and avionics. The
C-380 will similarly be an advanced redesign of the C-370 with the same refinements as the C-445. Both types could be ready for commercial and military use by the early 2110s.
