US Air Force renames and expands concept for tactical airlifter

Formerly known as ‘AMC-X’, the Advanced Joint Air Combat System (AJACS) would be the USAF’s leap-ahead answer to the Airbus A400M – the only airlifter projected to be in production after the next decade.The aim of the renamed programme is also to find ways to converge the USAF requirement for a new tactical airlifter with the US Army’s requirement for a C-130-sized rotorcraft known as the Joint Heavy Lift (JHL) concept.”The solution [for the army] is not necessarily a pure vertical take-off and landing joint heavy lift platform.
