空中客車A400M(英語:Airbus A400M)是一款四渦輪旋槳發動機飛機,由空中客車所設計,用以滿足歐洲國家對軍用運輸機的需求,它兼顧了戰略與戰術運輸機的性能與成本。自計劃正式執行以來,計有南非,智利及馬來西亞等三個歐洲以外的國家訂購。該機於2009年12月11日在西班牙西南部城市塞維利亞首次試飛。
此項目是歐洲最大的軍事合作項目,法國、德國、英國、西班牙等7個歐洲國家投入了近200億歐元的研發資金,原計劃取代老舊的運輸機,包括德法Transall C-160及美國洛克希德·馬丁C-130大力士運輸機。然而研發過程困難重重,未能按照原定的計劃交付並且飛機造價高昂,空中客車公司一度考慮要取消這個計劃。到2009年時,這個項目超支50億歐元,2003年估計每架飛機的價格為8000萬美元而2009年時已經變成至少1.2至1.3億美元。從原先計劃的2009年開始交付用戶一拖再拖,直到2013年8月1日法國空軍才接收了第一架A400M。
Airbus A400M (English: Airbus A400M) is a four-turboprop aircraft designed by Airbus to meet the needs of European countries for military transport aircraft. It takes into account the performance and cost of strategic and tactical transport aircraft. Since the official implementation of the plan, there have been orders from three countries outside Europe, including South Africa, Chile and Malaysia. The aircraft flew for the first time in Seville, a city in southwestern Spain, on December 11, 2009.
This project is the largest military cooperation project in Europe. Seven European countries including France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain have invested nearly 20 billion euros in research and development funds. The original plan was to replace the old transport aircraft, including the German-French Transall C-160 and the American Locke Sid Martin C-130 Hercules transport aircraft. However, the R&D process was full of difficulties, failed to deliver according to the original plan and the aircraft cost was high. Airbus once considered canceling this plan. By 2009, this project had overspend by 5 billion euros. In 2003, the estimated price of each aircraft was 80 million U.S. dollars and in 2009 it had become at least 120 to 130 million U.S. dollars. From the original plan of 2009, the delivery to users has been delayed and delayed until the French Air Force received the first A400M on August 1, 2013.
