The smooth looking Xingu coupled the Bandeirante's wing and motors with an all new fuselage, yet was just created in unassuming numbers.
The Xingu flew surprisingly on October 10 1976, with a generation airplane after on May 20 1977. The main client conveyance happened later that same year (to the Copersucarfittipaldi Formula One dashing group).
The significant client for the Xingu I was the French military, with an aggregate request for 41 (for aircrew preparing and contact obligations for the flying corps and war fleet), which represented very nearly a large portion of all Emb121 creation.
A few subordinates of the Xingu outline were proposed, including the first Emb120, the Araguia, a worker aerial shuttle which would have situated 25, and the Emb123 Tapajã³s. The Tapajã³s would have had all the more influential 835kw (1120shp) Pt6a45 motors (which likewise would have fueled the Araguia), expanded wing compass and an extended fuselage.
A more unobtrusive advancement did enter creation, the Emb121b Xingu II. This presented all the more capable motors, four sharpened steel props, expanded fuel tankage and more noteworthy seating limit civility of a somewhat extended fuselage. Comparable in size, powerplant and execution to the Raytheon Beech King Air B200, the Xingu II made its first flight on September 4 1981.
Creation stopped in August 1987 after 105 had been assembled.
