Papel	Transporte aéreo estratégico/tático
Primeiro voo	11 Dezembro 2009
Número construído	88

O Airbus A400M Atlas é um avião de transporte militar turboélice de quatro motores europeu. Ele foi projetado pela Airbus Military (agora Airbus Defence and Space) como um avião de transporte tático com capacidades estratégicas para substituir aeronaves de transporte mais antigas, como o Transall C-160 e o Lockheed C-130 Hercules. O A400M está entre o C-130 e o Boeing C-17 em tamanho; ele pode transportar cargas mais pesadas do que o C-130 e é capaz de usar pistas de pouso irregulares. Juntamente com a função de transporte, o A400M pode realizar reabastecimento aéreo e evacuação médica quando equipado com equipamento apropriado.

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.
