The RAF’s next generation military transport aircraft was last week officially named as Atlas.
A source at the MoD said the aircraft, which had until now been known as the A400M, would replace the RAF’s existing C130 Hercules fleet and along with the Voyager and C-17 would provide the UK military’s future air transport force.
The UK is buying 22 of the cutting edge aircraft from Airbus Military and the first Atlas is expected to be delivered to the RAF in 2014.
