Looks like it may not be staying in the air much longer.
Airbus is preparing to ditch its A400M

Seriously tho, the A400 isnt really necessary with the C-17 and C-130 around.
As for cancelling the A400M, it'd be a disaster, and leave the bulk of AT fleets still relying on a basic design conceived in 1951.
Much as the C-130 is and has been very good, new blood is needed in the market, particularly for those who can't afford/don't do the US enough favours (such as Qatar) to get the C-17.
I sense an increase in C-17 and C-130 orders! Seriously tho, the A400 isn't really necessary with the C-17 and C-130 around.
How much will Airbus have lost through the A400M programme? I guess EADS has plenty in reserves.
