JOINT PROJECTS
ENAER has participated in important joint projects, providing technology and proven reliability in aircraft in operation around the world.
EMBRAER ERJ-135/145
ENAER participated in the exclusive manufacture of the tail assembly for the ERJ-135/145 passenger aircraft, today the LEGACY 600/650 of EMBRAER, the third largest aircraft manufacturer in the world. From 1993 to 2013 we built 1,300 tail assemblies for these regional jets, one of the most successful in the last decade.

ENAER has the infrastructure to manufacture machined parts and assemble the vertical and horizontal planes of these aircraft, enabling the fulfillment of manufacturing schedules with the required quality and delivery times in sustained production and with the necessary reliability, providing this essential component for EMBRAER's regional passenger jets in operation on more than 50 airlines around the world.
ERJ-145 Empennage production
For 5 consecutive years, the National Aeronautics Company has won the trophy for supplier of the year in the category "Best manufacturer of aircraft structures and internal parts", awarded by the Brazilian Aeronautics Company among its more than 300 supplier companies worldwide, a testament to the quality delivered by ENAER.

AIRBUS MILITARY CN-235 / C-295
Enaer produced the subsequent series of EADS-CASA CN-235 and C-295 military transport aircraft marketed by AIRBUS MILITARY. It is a turboprop tactical transport and maritime patrol aircraft intended for short and medium range missions. One of the objectives of the CN-235 is to be able to operate at low altitude effectively in order to reduce its vulnerability as much as possible. The C-295 is a development of the CN-235, lengthened and with better performance.

The assembly manufactured by ENAER is called "Colon" and connects the fuselage with the tail section of the aircraft and the cargo door.

DASSAULT AVIATION FALCON
ENAER participated in the manufacture of the lower fairing assembly or Lower Karman for the FALCON 900 and FALCON 2000 executive jet aircraft of the prestigious French company DASSAULT AVIATION. These corporate jets are in operation all over the world and stand out for their flight autonomy, extraordinary performance and reliability, which ENAER is a part of. We build the lower fairing of these aircraft with raw materials selected by ENAER, complying with the rigorous quality controls of international aviation and particularly of the DASSAULT AVIATION factory, with more than 50 years in the international aeronautics market.

The Falcon 900 is a transcontinental corporate triple-jet with two crew and between 8 and 18 passengers depending on its configuration. It has exceptional takeoff and landing characteristics on short and high runways and as a triple-jet it is unique in its category. The Falcon 2000 is the twin-jet version of the Falcon 900, with similar performance, slightly smaller and aimed at the medium-sized corporate jet market with up to 15 passengers in high-density version and two crew members.

ECLIPSE 500
ENAER participated in the Eclipse 500 program by manufacturing the nose assembly of this aircraft, which is in the VLJ (Very Light Jet) category, becoming one of the participants in this project together with aerostructure manufacturers such as Fuji Industries from Japan, Hampson from England, Compass Aerospace from Seattle and Ducommun from California. Through this program, the Company's aeronautical products have been authorized to reach the North American market, a recognition of which has been granted by the FAA, for which ENAER engineers have been trained by said organization and will soon be qualified to be recognized as ODAR (Organization Designated Airworthiness Representative). With said recognition, ENAER will issue the corresponding FAA Certificates accrediting that our products comply with the manufacturing requirements of the United States aeronautical authority for this aircraft.

IAI / ENAER F-5 TIGRE
In the early 1990s, within the framework of the Tiffany Project, ENAER participated as a subcontractor of IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd.) in the modification of the FACH F-5 aircraft, the purpose of which was to increase their tactical capabilities and extend their useful life. The modification was called Tigre III, in which ENAER was responsible for carrying out the work on the production aircraft, which are still in service with the Chilean Air Force.

IAI / ENAER MIRAGE PANTERA
At the beginning of 1986, a contract was signed with the Chilean Air Force to make structural and equipment changes to its fleet of Mirage M-50 aircraft. These requirements were expanded at the end of that decade to increase their tactical capabilities and extend their useful life. The modification was named Pantera and was commissioned to ENAER, in conjunction with Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI). These aircraft are currently retired from service, having given way to the F-16 aircraft.

CASA C-101 TOQUI
The manufacture of the T-35 Pillán for the Spanish Air Force opened the doors for ENAER to co-produce with the company CASA-España (currently part of the AIRBUS Group) the C-101 tactical training and attack aircraft (called A-36 by the FACH). This aircraft was originally equipped with simple avionics, sufficient to fulfil its role as a trainer according to the standards of the time. Later, and derived from the experience acquired with different combat aircraft of the Chilean Air Force, the National Aeronautics Company of Chile developed a modernization of its avionics. The modification was called “TOQUI”, and integrated into the A-36 a navigation and attack system that satisfied HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick) concepts, incorporated a HUD (Head Up Display) and updated the technology of several of its other systems. Additionally, the modification was complemented with the ability to carry air-to-air missiles. All of the above resulted in a significant increase in the tactical training capacity of this remarkable aircraft.
