Den Airbus A400M Atlas er et europeisk firemotors turboprop militært transportfly. Den ble designet av Airbus Military (nå Airbus Defence and Space) som en taktisk luftløfter med strategiske evner for å erstatte eldre transportfly, som Transall C-160 og Lockheed C-130 Hercules. A400M er mellom C-130 og Boeing C-17 i størrelse; den kan bære tyngre last enn C-130 og er i stand til å bruke grove landingsstriper. I tillegg til transportrollen kan A400M utføre lufttanking og medisinsk evakuering når den er utstyrt med passende utstyr.

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.
