- Notes
- The Airbus A400M-180 is a four-engine turboprop airlifter powered by four exact Europrop TP400-D6 engines. The A400M's between-the-engines propeller arrangement is preserved in the family description; propulsion relationship placement remains wing because the deployed enum has no dedicated nacelle or DBE value.
