The Brazilian Air Force (FAB) and Embraer started, on February 8, the tests of extreme cold, Cold Soak , of the aircraft KC-390 Millennium in the United States (USA). The mission focuses on verifying the integration of all subsystems and the robustness of the new FAB freighter in a hostile environment, with extremely low temperature conditions.

Unlike an environmental qualification regarding the component, the Cold Soak test aims to investigate, in terms of the system, the effect of exposing the aircraft to extremely low temperatures, for a considerable time on the ground, a situation in which the systems failure may lead to Service Difficulty events, in which the aircraft is unable to operate (Picture source: Lieutenant Colonel Emerson / COPAC) |
