Don't look like a Herk

Looks more like a "copy and paste A-400m" and added 737- tail design.
Better to steal a good idea than work out of a wrong one.
Not amused.

Looks more like an overgrown CASA then a Herc. If they are going to build it, better go for a different designation, as it misses almost all the things that make a C-130 recognisable.

With all the really new designes coming to the market in the coming years, I think this redesign will not be very competitive. In essence it is still a 60 year old Herc.
Having said that, if the US simply commits to it for the USAF and USN/MC it doesn't really matter how competitive it is of course...

Looks like an A400M...... (A new issue like the "Apple - Samsung" story, now performed by an American company ?!
