What if Airbus instead of developing the A400M military transport, instead designed and built a C-17 class of transport based on the A330 airliner, a possible C-330?
I'm thinking of moving the wings into an over into a shoulder position.
Redesigning the tail into a T-style unit allowing a rear cargo door to be inserted.
Also the wheels and their bogies lowered so as to allow the aircraft a lower profile to assist loading and unloading.
How would this aircraft perform compared to the C-17?
Would it perform better than the A400M?
Would there be more of a market for this aircraft?
