Det blev designet af Airbus Military (nu Airbus Defence and Space) som en taktisk luftløfter med strategiske kapaciteter til at erstatte ældre transportfly, såsom Transall C-160 og Lockheed C-130 Hercules. A400M er mellem C-130 og Boeing C-17 i størrelse; den kan bære tungere belastninger end C-130 og er i stand til at bruge ru landingsstrimler. Sammen med transportrollen kan A400M udføre lufttankning og medicinsk evakuering, når den er udstyret med passende udstyr.

Den Airbus Militær A400M Grizzly is a four-engine turboprop aircraft designed for strategic and tactical airlift missions. It can carry up to 37 tons of cargo or 116 paratroopers over a range of 4,800 nautical miles. It can also perform air-to-air refueling and medical evacuation roles. The A400M is the result of a multinational collaboration among seven European countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom. The first flight of the A400M took place on 11 December 2009 and the first delivery to the French Air Force occurred on 29 December 2013.
The A400M has a large cargo hold that can accommodate various types of vehicles, helicopters, containers and pallets. It can land and take off from short and unpaved runways, enabling it to operate in remote and austere environments. The A400M is equipped with a self-defense system and advanced avionics that allow it to fly in low-visibility conditions. The A400M is also known as the Atlas in some countries.
