History

The Embraer EMB-121 Xingu is a Business aircraft Brésil IEN creates by Embraer starting from the aerofoils and of the engines of EMB-110 Bandeirantes and of a new fuselage.

This plane of 8 places made its inaugural flight the October 10th 1976.

The Xingu is currently employed, inter alia, by the French Army (the Air force since May 25th, 1982 and the Naval air force) and the Brazilian Armée (under designation VU-9).

In flight, the Xingu is not always an easy plane for the neophyte, because of a compactness of form which gives him pointed aerodynamic qualities in certain configurations (for example: there is an aerodynamic masking of horizontal surfaces of control at the time of piqué of a certain angle)
