Greyhound C2 History:
The C-2 Greyhound is a twin-engine cargo aircraft, whose primary mission is Carrier onboard delivery.
It provides critical logistics support to Carrier Strike Groups. Its primary mission is the transport of high-priority cargo, mail and passengers between carriers and shore bases. Powered by twin Allison T56-A-425 turboprop engines and Hamilton-Standard constant speed propellers, the C-2A can deliver a combined payload of 10,000 pounds over a distance in excess of 1,000 nm.
The C-2A Greyhound is a derivative of the E-2 Hawkeye and replaced the piston-engine powered C-1 Trader in the Carrier On-board Delivery role. Its ability to airdrop supplies and personnel, fold its wings, and generate power for engine starting and other uses provide an operational versatility found in no other cargo aircraft.
Currently, there are no plans to replace the C-2A(R) fleet, and no replacement aircraft are currently in development. As of September 2009, the USN was exploring a replacement aircraft for the C-2, including the V-22 Osprey.
