English and French manuals included.
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 will cover different tactical transport, logistical, humanitarian and peace-keeping needs.
A400M offers to the air transport world a modern, multi-role airlifter which will replace 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 as 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 will also be able to refuel and be refueled in flight.
So far, 180 A400M have already been ordered.

"...Flying the A400M is a lot of fun; in fact I have all but retired my C-130 fleet and chosen to fly this one instead ..."
The Reviewer
Micro Simulateur magazine #171
"...L'A400M de Wilco est un appareil sympathique pour débuter dans le transport militaire aérien.
L'appareil est parfaitement reproduit avec ses lignes caractéristiques de gros camion militaire, sans négliger un design en finesse qui ajoute une touche d'élégance à ce gros-porteur. L'ambiance sonore est irréprochable, depuis le sifflement de l'APU jusqu'au ronronnement des turbopropulseurs...."
