Designed to replace the Nord Noratlas, it first flew on February 25, 1963, entering service in 1967. Exported to Turkey and South Africa, produced ended in 1985 with 214 airframes of all variants built. Both France and Germany are replacing the C-160 with the A-400M Atlas.
The crew consists of two pilots, a flight engineer, and loadmasters and carries a maximum payload of 16,000 kg (35,274 lb). The C-160 is powered by two Rolls-Royce RB.109 Tyne turboprop engines, one on each wing, driving Ratier Forest-built four-bladed fully feathering constant-speed reversible-pitch propellers.
