Product Description

Tactical airlift mission capability

Tactical airlift describes the transport and delivery of personnel and goods directly into theatres of operation. This includes landing on frontline air bases, landing on a grass and/or sand strip as well as the delivery of paratroopers or pallets by air drop. Also on tactical delivery missions, the A400M delivers heavier and larger loads than its competitors.

Strategic airlift mission capability

Strategic airlift means the transport of strategic assets like outsized and heavy vehicles or equipment. Large cargo hold dimensions and a high payload capacity are required to match the whole range of modern military vehicles, helicopters, modular relief equipment, intermodal containers and heavy engineering equipment. The A400M outperforms all of today’s available platforms in these aspects. The aircraft has not only proven better range, speed, altitude, and payload performance than previous generation tactical airlifters, it also fills a gap between strategic and tactical lift.

Air-to-air refuelling mission capability

Standalone, as a perfect complement to a strategic tanker or for front-line re-fuelling missions from tactical locations, the A400M refuels drogue-receivers and increase flexibility and availability of other air assets.
