'''Euroflag''' was a collaboration of European aerospace companies formed for the development of the [[Airbus A400M]]. Development is now carried out by [[Airbus Defence and Space]]. |
|||
The project began as the '''Future International Military Airlifter''' (FIMA) group, set up in 1982 by; [[Aérospatiale]], [[British Aerospace]], [[Lockheed Corporation|Lockheed]] and [[Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm]] to develop a replacement for the [[C-130 Hercules]] and [[C-160 Transall]]. Varying requirements and the complications of international politics caused slow progress. In 1989, Lockheed left the group, and went on to develop the second-generation [[C-130J Super Hercules]]. |

With the addition of [[Alenia Aeronautica]] and [[Construcciones Aeronáuticas|CASA]], the Future International Military Airlifter group became '''Euroflag''', '''Euro'''pean '''f'''uture '''l'''arge '''a'''ircraft '''g'''roup. |
