Spartan Space says EuroSuit can be put on or taken off autonomously in less than two minutes.
A Spartan Space team in Marseille conducted a water test of EuroSuit's flotation and its response to emergency-escape and rescue scenarios.
The EuroSuit project is being developed by a consortium led by CNES that includes Spartan Space, Medes, and Decathlon.
Spartan Space says the EuroSuit water-test results are encouraging and support the next qualification stages of the project.
Quantum Space opened a new manufacturing facility in Tulsa's historic Spartan Building in May 2026.
A consortium led by Spartan Space, with MEDES and Decathlon as partners, completed an initial EuroSuit study in early 2024.
Hypersonix is developing a new class of autonomous hypersonic aircraft built around its proprietary SPARTAN scramjet engine.
SPARTAN is a 3D-printed, reusable scramjet with no moving parts that is designed to reach speeds above Mach 5 and uses hydrogen fuel rather than kerosene-based propellants.
The hydrogen-fueled SPARTAN engine is designed to produce zero carbon dioxide emissions compared with kerosene-fueled scramjets and offers a reusable, lower-maintenance solution for high-speed defense and aerospace applications.
SPARTAN uses hydrogen as a fuel instead of kerosene, produces zero CO₂ emissions, and is designed as a reusable, low-maintenance solution for high-speed defense and aerospace missions.
The C-27J MPA cabin can be reconfigured by removing mission consoles and other components to perform transport, airdrop, and medical evacuation missions typical of the C-27J Spartan Next Generation.
The C-27J MPA retains all characteristics and capabilities of the C-27J Spartan Next Generation, including state-of-the-art avionics, navigation, communication, identification, and self-protection systems.
The C-27J Spartan fleet in service has exceeded 290,000 flight hours.
CNES oversees the EUROSUIT project, while SPARTAN SPACE is responsible for technical configuration management and the development of life support systems.
The EUROSUIT project is a collaboration between DECATHLON, the French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES), SPARTAN SPACE, and the French Institute for Space Medicine and Physiology (MEDES).
Leonardo will provide support for the C-27J Spartan aircraft during the contract period.
The C-27J Spartan Next Generation version features new equipment and advanced aerodynamic solutions.
The C-27J Spartan can operate from unpaved runways and in extreme environmental conditions, unmatched by any other aircraft in its category.
The C-27J Spartan is equipped with two powerful turboprop engines, offering high performance, extreme operational flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.
The C-27J Spartan has completed over 275,000 flight hours, demonstrating its performance.
