Summary

Description
English: Seen here in the foreground at RAF Brize Norton, is the Airbus A400M. The Airbus A400M will be RAF’s future transport aircraft. In the background are a C-17, and the C130-J in the middle.

The A400M will replace part of the RAF C-130 fleet early in the next decade with 25 on order for the UK.

The A400M will be the RAF’s new state-of-the-art transport aircraft for the 21st century. Capable of carrying a mixture of troops, equipment, vehicles, and helicopters to the heart of operations, these aircraft will be the backbone of support to troops.

Their ability to take-off and land on short makeshift strips will enable deployment of forces quickly and effectively around the world on a variety of operations.
