Weird. A two engine C-17, and a four engine A320.

I personally think the XC-1 looks too small to need 4-engines, unless they are seriously under-powered or the aircraft is quite heavy. :-/

Is this XC-2 some kind of joint-venture? Or are the similarities to the C-17 just by surprise? :-?

It looks to be a bit smaller than a C-17, so two engines are probably more than enough.
