The A400 was never intended for verticle capability. It was designed to have short field takeoff and landing. It is a very capable aircraft. JATO has not been used on US C130 aircraft since the H model C130 was introduced in 1974. The H model -15 engines create the same power as the E models -7 engined aircraft with JATO. However, there are a few special models that still use JATO, but they are few and highly specialized.

since it never really answers why they spent a billion dollars. inferred was it was a over weight turd. the vertical takeoff is a side effect not a sought after feature in design. the 8 blade props are the reason why they can take off like that. c-130 hercules uses the same prop configuration. the reason for the switch was they were running out of Jet assisted take off(JATO) rockets. re tooling and manufacturing new ones to re supply a 60 year old technology was a giant waste of money. the 8 blade prop was the answer to same takeoff capabilities without having to bolt on new rockets each flight.

@karstendoerr5378 Жыл бұрын

However, one must not overdo this steep climb on transport machines for several reasons. 1. at such steep angles of attack, stall can occur very easily 2. the load can shift if it is not properly lashed down, causing the aircraft to reach an even higher angle of attack (--> stall). 3. the glide ratio of an airplane depends on the angle of attack, i.e. indirectly on the speed, and the gustiness of the surrounding air, as well as on the pilots' control skill.

Although I'm a huge fan of the C130, even I have to admit that it's starting to get a little long in the teeth now, and needs to be replaced. The A400M is a brilliant replacement. Very similar to the A400 in looks purely to keep old traditionalists such as myself happy ;) but with vastly improved performance in all aspects! I remember seeing it fly for the first time a few years back, and being absolutely amazed and very impressed! Although the old Herc still has many years left in her, the A400M will forge a long and interesting history during her service life!

@the80386 Жыл бұрын

A400M has a much higher payload than C-130 (37 ton vs 20 ton) and is not meant as a direct replacement to C-130. A400M's closest match is the Japanese Kawasaki C-2 (also 37 ton), while the current closest matches of C-130 are the Chinese Shaanxi Y-8 / Y-9 and the Brazilian Embraer C-390. The C-390 has a 26 ton payload. The Y-8 has a 20 ton payload and was based on the Soviet Antonov AN-12. The Y-9 has a 25 ton payload, and is more like the stretched C-130-30 in size. The modern Y-8/9 have been significantly improved in materials, construction and electronics from their AN-12 predecessor.

@leneanderthalien Жыл бұрын

The A400M did not replace the C130 because the payload from the A400M is ~twice: for example the french airforce did use they brand new C130H to replace the retired C160 Transall and for commando missions who was made with C160 Transall, they use they Casa CN235 who are smaller, and for the big transports they use the services from Antonov AN124's or the AN22 both from Antonov Airlines...

No idea how the video switched from talking about the A400M to the F22 Raptor ...

"I have no fucking clue what a vertical take-off is, bUt iMmA gOnNa mAkE a vIdEo aBoUt iT aNyWaYs, herp derp!" What's next, are you gonna tell us that it also lands vertically, because by your definition, it totally does - right?

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but how exactly does the last 8 minutes of the video about the F-22 and fighter pilot training relate to the A400M? They both take off from a runway and climb at an angle but that just makes them aircraft.

To "make A400M takeoff (almost) vertically" costs - among other things - making crew and pilots be like astronauts. In the sense of being forced to stand on their heads during flight. Reminder: the high speed VTOL has already been invented! It is called tiltrotor. Works without the headstands.

It can’t take off vertically. That’s nonsense. Just about all transport aircraft are limited to 25-30 deg pitch attitude for safety reasons. This is a full fbw aircraft and it will certainly be limited in pitch like all other airbus aircraft. And it can only achieve that at its lightest weight. So stop with the vertical takeoff nonsense.

There was only one transport aircraft that was actually equipped with VTOL, the Dornier Do 31, which is now on display in the Dornier Museum in Friedrichshafen(Germany).

Quite a few helicopters and the V22 Osprey.

@karstendoerr5378 Жыл бұрын

VTOL can be achieved through different modes of operation. The V 22 Osprey, however, does not use thrust deflection, but a tilt rotor. Therefore, the V22 is rather a "hermaphrodite" of airplane and helicopter.

@@karstendoerr5378 you wrote “transport aircraft”. Osprey is a transport aircraft. So are many helicopters, for example CH-47,

@@MeTube3 , That may be. I have posted the explanation for this. But the DO 31 uses thrust reversers, the V22 is a mixture of airplane and helicopter. If we now assume that VTOL is generated by thrust reversal, then helicopters and the V22 are out of the question.

@@karstendoerr5378 vertical take off is simply taking off without a runway roll. Like a helicopter. Like a V22. You don’t get to redefine vertical take off.
