A400M to Replace the RAF C-130

Yes, A400M MSN001 is under manufacture and assembly. I was recently redirected onto MSN001, to do some work that was missed out, and that will shortly transform into the MSN007 program of activity to develop the production standard aircraft, as was done with the A380.

I was once told that there is never time to get it right once but there is always time to screw it up and then do it again correctly…………

Most of the A350 wing team has dispersed to other projects, but there are still a few people doing trade studies and working on the development wing cover in the structures department, hopefully they will be given the latitude to explore avenues not previously considered during the A350 training session.

A400M to Replace the RAF C-130

After the A300, A320, A380 and soon the A400M might be the 5th fuselage with a different diameter.
That would mean new machines and tools…. So before the plane flies, a lot of Euros would be spent in new tools, machines, factories etc..
(Note: The A310 and A330/A340 have the same diameter as the basic A300.)

Is that still going on the A400M? I know the RAF are getting them too replace there C-130 then it went all silent so is it still up and about 😀 😎
