A400M Transporter Aircraft
An A400M at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2014 at Fairford, one of the largest Airshows in the UK.
The A400M aircraft, when in RAF service, will be named ATLAS and the RAF will take delivery of its first of 22 aircraft in Autumn 2014 with deliveries expected to be complete by 2019.
The A400M, which is a collaborative venture involving the governments and industries of six European countries, will support the deployment of the Joint Rapid Reaction Force and will give the RAF a tactical and strategic-airlift aircraft capable of supporting all three services and be interoperable with other nations.
The aircraft will be capable of carrying a load of 25 tonnes over a range of 2000nmls at speeds comparable with pure-jet military transports. It will be capable of operating either at low-level (down to 150ft agl) or at high-level altitudes to 40, 000ft, and it will be able to deploy troops and/or equipment between and within theatres of operation either by parachute (up to 108 paratroopers), or by landing on short, unprepared or semi-prepared strips. It will also offer significant improvements in reliability, maintenance and operating costs over the C-130J fleet

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the A400M Transporter Aircraft at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2014 in Fairford, UK. As one of the largest airshows in the country, this event provided an excellent platform to display the capabilities of this remarkable aircraft. In RAF service, this impressive machine will be named ATLAS and is set to be delivered starting from Autumn 2014. The RAF has ordered a total of 22 A400M aircraft, with deliveries expected to conclude by 2019. This collaborative venture involves six European countries' governments and industries. The A400M's primary purpose is to support the deployment of the Joint Rapid Reaction Force while providing tactical and strategic airlift capabilities for all three services. Its interoperability with other nations makes it a valuable asset on international missions. With a maximum load capacity of 25 tonnes over a range of 2000 nautical miles, this aircraft boasts speeds comparable to pure-jet military transports. It can operate at both low-level altitudes down to 150 feet above ground level and high-level altitudes up to an impressive height of 40,000 feet. Furthermore, its versatility allows it to deploy troops or equipment either by parachute (up to 108 paratroopers) or by landing on short, unprepared or semi-prepared strips within theaters of operation. Notably, compared to its predecessor C-130J fleet, the A400M offers significant improvements in reliability as well as maintenance and operating costs. This technological advancement ensures that our armed forces have access to state-of-the-art equipment for their critical operations.
