2007 Airbus A400M Atlas on Euroopa neljamootoriline turbopropellermootoriga sõjaväe transpordilennuk. Selle kujundas Airbus Military (nüüd Airbus Defence and Space) taktikalise õhutõstjana, millel on strateegilised võimalused vanemate transpordilennukite, näiteks Transall C-160 ja Lockheed C-130 Hercules, asendamiseks. A400M on suuruselt C-130 ja Boeing C-17 vahel; see võib kanda raskemaid koormusi kui C-130 ja suudab kasutada töötlemata maandumisribasid. Koos transpordirolliga saab A400M teostada õhust tankimist ja meditsiinilist evakueerimist, kui see on varustatud sobiva varustusega.

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.
