Defender 4000 is the latest development of
the BN2T Defender aircraft - in service with government and law
enforcement agencies world-wide - meeting the need to operate a
lightweight aircraft from short airstrips in all weather conditions,
by day and night.
Design improvements
include an extended fuselage, larger wing for greater internal fuel
capacity and enhanced visibility cockpit and cabin. The Defender is
designed to carry the most sophisticated navigation and sensor
equipment such as thermal imaging camera and 360 degree search radar.
It is one of two types of fixed-wing aircraft
operated by the Army Air Corps. It is usually employed in a
surveillance capacity, however it also has a limited use in
transporting personnel. Other
roles include air photography, airborne command post and liaison
flying. Notably it contains a full Instrument Flying Procedural and
Navigation fit.
