Airbus Military A400M Grizzly
Paese	Francia – Germania
Ruolo	Trasporto aereo strategico/tattico
Primo volo	11 dicembre 2009
Numero costruito	88

Le Airbus A400M Atlante è un aereo da trasporto militare turboelica a quattro motori europeo. È stato progettato da Airbus Military (ora Airbus Defence and Space) come aereo da trasporto tattico con capacità strategiche per sostituire i vecchi aerei da trasporto, come il Transall C-160 e il Lockheed C-130 Hercules. L'A400M è tra il C-130 e il Boeing C-17 in termini di dimensioni; può trasportare carichi più pesanti rispetto al C-130 ed è in grado di utilizzare piste di atterraggio ruvide. Oltre al ruolo di trasporto, l'A400M può eseguire il rifornimento aereo e l'evacuazione medica se dotato di attrezzature appropriate.

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.
