The Airbus CASA C-295 “Persuader” is a tactical military transport aircraft developed in Spain by CASA (Construcciones Aeronáuticas S.A.), now part of Airbus Defence and Space. Known for its versatility and low operating costs, the C-295 can operate on short or unpaved runways and supports missions such as troop and cargo transport, paratrooper deployment, medical evacuation, and extended-endurance maritime patrol in its “Persuader” configuration.
Powered by two efficient turboprop engines, the aircraft can carry up to 9 tons of cargo or about 70 troops. Widely used worldwide, the C-295 “Persuader” is valued for its reliability, flexibility, and multi-mission capability.

@SpaceCorp sorry for the incorrect fact, it indeed has 6 blades, its just that i got confused. as far as i know the blade count is correct for this model, if it was the CASA manufactured one it would have less blades, i dont remember how much, maybe 4

@Livingg017 Thanks for the comment, really useful! It helped improve future models. All the photos and 3D models I found showed 6 blades, so I went with that. And of course, feel free to modify anything you want.

Construcciones Aeronáuticas S.L. and Spain mentioned yay. im spanish. ive been into the cockpit of both airbus and CASA and i have to say it is a quite small plane to be in, but very cool. @SpaceCorp you forgot to mention the plane's codename: persuader. hope my comment is informative.

i also discovered that spain only owns 12 airbus c295… i expected more tbh. a bit pathetic, we only have that quantity of a plane we produce? bruh... i think we have more a400 which turns out being more pathetic. government doesnt seem to promote local engineering
