The A400M was designed according to the joint prerequisites from the seven countries participating in the project (Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and Turkey). The aircraft covers different tactical transport, logistical, humanitarian and peace-keeping needs. A400M offers the air transport world a modern, multi-role airlifter which replaces the ageing fleets of C-130 Hercules and C-160 Transall in service with the air forces around the world. This new aircraft guarantees far superior performance and characteristics compared to competitors: double load capacity, greater cruising speed and range, optimum capabilities for low-altitude flights. Equipped with four high speed turboprop engines, it will feature a cargo capacity of 37 tons over 3,550 nm at a maximum cruise speed of mach 0.72. Its design will enable it to operate in areas with deficient infrastructure and on short/unpaved runways. It is also able to refuel and be refueled in flight.
