An RAF Atlas (A400M) Climbs toward the clouds
An RAF Atlas (A400M) Climbs toward the clouds over the spectators at RIAT.
The A400M will support the deployment of the Joint Rapid Reaction Force and will give the RAF a tactical and strategic-airlift aircraft capable of supporting all three services and be interoperable with other nations.
The aircraft will be capable of carrying a load of 25 tonnes over a range of 2000nmls at speeds comparable with pure-jet military transports.
It will be capable of operating either at low-level (down to 150ft agl) or at high-level altitudes to 40, 000ft, and it will be able to deploy troops and/or equipment between and within theatres of operation either by parachute (up to 108 paratroopers), or by landing on short, unprepared or semi-prepared strips. It will also offer significant improvements in reliability, maintenance and operating costs over the C-130J fleet

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic sight of an RAF Atlas (A400M) aircraft soaring towards the clouds, leaving spectators in awe at RIAT. The A400M is a game-changer for the Royal Air Force, as it will play a crucial role in supporting the deployment of the Joint Rapid Reaction Force and provide tactical and strategic airlift capabilities to all three services while promoting interoperability with other nations. With its impressive specifications, this aircraft can carry an astounding load of 25 tonnes over a range of 2000 nautical miles at speeds comparable to pure-jet military transports. It boasts versatility by being able to operate both at low-level altitudes down to 150 feet above ground level and high-level altitudes up to 40,000 feet. This flexibility allows it to seamlessly transport troops and equipment between theaters of operation using various methods such as parachute drops for up to 108 paratroopers or landing on short, unprepared or semi-prepared strips. Not only does the A400M offer enhanced operational capabilities, but it also brings significant improvements in reliability, maintenance efficiency, and operating costs when compared to its predecessor C-130J fleet. This photograph beautifully encapsulates the power and grace of this remarkable aircraft that symbolizes progress and advancement within the Royal Air Force's arsenal.
