It'd be quite helpful if performance data for the A400M were published. It's a big aircraft, with big turboprops, goes fairly quickly, flies quite high. It's an aircraft that might in a parallel universe have been given turbofans. It's not directly comparable to any turbo-fanned commercial airliner, but it'd be interesting to see the differences. It looks like it carries less payload for less distance but for disproportionately more fuel compared to, say, an A330-300, but then it's a whole lot stockier in shape.
Plus it comes with the exciting passenger option of sky-diving down to one's destination!
