País	Francia – Alemania
Papel	Transporte aéreo estratégico/táctico
Primer vuelo	11 diciembre 2009
Número construido	88

el Airbus A400M Atlas es un avión europeo de transporte militar turbohélice de cuatro motores. Fue diseñado por Airbus Military (ahora Airbus Defence and Space) como un avión de transporte táctico con capacidades estratégicas para reemplazar aviones de transporte más antiguos, como el Transall C-160 y el Lockheed C-130 Hercules. El A400M está entre el C-130 y el Boeing C-17 en tamaño; puede transportar cargas más pesadas que el C-130 y es capaz de usar pistas de aterrizaje en bruto. Junto con el papel de transporte, el A400M puede realizar reabastecimiento aéreo de combustible y evacuación médica cuando está equipado con el equipo adecuado.

General Characteristics

The Airbus A400M Atlas (originally named “Grizzly”) is a multi-national four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft. Developed by Airbus Military (now Airbus Defence and Space), it was designed to bridge the gap between smaller tactical airlifters, like the C-130 Hercules, and larger strategic airlifters, like the C-17 Globemaster III. The A400M combines the capability to carry oversized loads (strategic) with the ability to land on rough, short unprepared strips (tactical). Its unique feature is the use of powerful Europrop TP400-D6 turboprop engines, which drive eight-bladed scimitar propellers. It is a key asset for European and international armed forces, fulfilling transport, air-to-air refueling, and medical evacuation roles.
