Embraer Short Take Off Utility Transport

The Embraer Short Take Off Utility Transport, known as STOUT, is a light military transport concept proposed by Embraer with the Brazilian Air Force. The two sides tackled its development in December 2019, and renderings of a hybrid electric aircraft with short take-off capability were shown in November 2020. It would replace the air force fleets of EMB-110 Bandeirante and EMB-120 Brasilia aircraft with a similar size, carrying a payload of about three tonnes through a rear cargo ramp, or 24 paratroopers or 30 soldiers, or serving as an air ambulance. Two turboprop engines would also generate power for electric-driven propellers on the wingtips, and the design would operate from remote unpaved runways of 1,200 metres with a range of 2,425 kilometres. It has a T-tail and a fuselage comparable to the EMB 120 but wider. Only concept studies were funded and the aircraft has not been built.
