Great Plane!

According to the Wikipedia entry about this plane, it is turning into an overpriced turd. The German military is upset because the plane is not living up to its original promised cargo weight, and the production has been set back often enough that many of its would-be customers are looking elsewhere.

Try to compare it with Russian An-70;)

@sdremish makes sense!

@straighttailpilot It is a conceptual video. The plane wasn't flying yet when they were trying to sell it.

Wow, it can be a tanker, dodge anti-aircraft, land on unprepared airfields, carry cargo on pallets, take troops to forward positions, act as an air ambulance or carry one or two vehicles at a time...
It took Airbus a long time to conceptualize a C-130!

@05go For the record I'm Puerto Rican, That said, the M400 may have a place in aviation, Like the boneyard. If the M400 is so great, why did the Government back Airbus Co. pretty much copied the designs of our aircraft? The M400 lnoks like a combo of the C-130, the C-135 and the C-17.
Malaysian Royal Air Force ordered 4. I proud as a malaysian. but RMAF needs to replace all C-130's.

@aviatormxpilot salutations to Puerto-Rico
C-17 and M-400 are two different designs for two different visions. Europe has tried to find a replacement for the Transall C-160 (former paratrooper, I often jumped from C-160): super short takeoff and landing, versatility, and cost of maintaining reduced. Furthermore, turboprops offer a better consumer / power and are less fragile.
