A very nice looking plane. And some of it is quite realistic. The curved wing roots have been used on A380, multiblade props are used on An-70, albeit with fewer blades.
The looks are designed for marketing. Most European heads of military departments are now civilian and some of them are women. Like any project, it needs initial financing, and that comes from government funds, so the looks are designed to impress the voters. Strong first impressions will help when it comes to voting for preliminary contracts based on this concept.
Well done, Airbus.
