das Aeritalia G.222 (formerly Fiat Aviazione, later Alenia Aeronautica) is a medium-sized STOL military transport aircraft. It was developed to meet a NATO specification, but Italy was initially the only NATO member to adopt the type. The United States purchased a small number of G.222s, designating them the C-27A Spartan. A modernised variant, the Alenia C-27J Spartan, has been developed. While it retains many aspects of the original aircraft, the C-27J adopts the same engines and many of the systems used on the larger Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules.

das Aeritalia G.222 is a medium-sized STOL military transport aircraft that was developed by the Italian company Fiat Aviazione, later known as Aeritalia and Alenia Aeronautica. The G.222 was designed to meet a NATO requirement for a versatile and rugged transport plane that could operate from short and unprepared runways. The G.222 first flew in 1970 and entered service with the Italian Air Force in 1978. It was also exported to several countries, including the United States, which designated it as the C-27A Spartan.
Die G.222 hat eine Hochdeckerkonfiguration mit zwei General Electric T64-Turboprop-Triebwerken, die an den Tragflächen montiert sind. Es verfügt über eine hintere Laderampe, die Standard-NATO-Paletten, Fahrzeuge oder bis zu 44 Passagiere oder 32 Fallschirmjäger aufnehmen kann. Die G.222 kann mit 24 Krankentragen und vier Begleitern auch medizinische Evakuierungsmissionen durchführen. Die G.222 verfügt über eine Druckkabine, ein Einziehfahrwerk und eine einzelne vertikale Heckflosse. Die G.222 kann mit einer Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 540 km/h fliegen und hat eine Reichweite von 1.260 km bei voller Nutzlast.
das G.222 was used by the Italian Air Force for various missions, such as humanitarian aid, disaster relief, fire fighting, and Antarctic support. The G.222 also saw combat service in Somalia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Afghanistan. The G.222 was replaced by the Alenia C-27J Spartan, a modernized version of the same aircraft that uses the same engines and systems as the Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules.
