Since the end of the second world war the French military has conducted operations in a number of diverse theaters including Indochina, Algeria and Chad. Lessons drawn from these operational experiences, related to the design of military transport aircraft are discussed and specific design criteria for a future fleet of transport aircraft are defined. The essential characteristics of a future military transport include: (1) a cargo bay with a minimum height and width of 4 meters (larger than the current dimensions of the C-160 and C-130); (2) good tactical capabilities combined with a significant operating range; and (3) interoperability (since the development of this aircraft will require a european, if not an american-european cooperative effort.
