Another economic disadvantage of the Vanguard was having four engines rather than two (there wasn't a turboprop engine large enough to make it a twin)
I wonder if anyone will think of designing a twin turboprop using the A400M TP400 engines. At 11000 shp they are more than twice the power of a Tyne.
