Actually, it is build by committee. And not very well!!

Take a look at the A400M, way behind schedule, will not hit specifications (especially weight/payload/range) and will limp into service in a couple of years.

Oh, and the entry aircraft will be your basic VW beetle as opposed to the BMW that was promised. Those will come later, maybe.

The funny thing is that the Europeans, if they could bury their pride, could have gotten a really good deal on the C-17 and saved a ton of money along the way.

But, if you want to check out a real “work of art” look at the N90 helicopter which is a total pile of trash and makes the Eurofighter and A4000M look like well managed programs!
