Weird. A two engine C-17, and a four engine A320.

I personally think the XC-1 looks too small to need 4-engines, unless they are seriously under-powered or the aircraft is quite heavy. Undecided

Is this XC-2 some kind of joint-venture? Or are the similarities to the C-17 just by surprise? Huh

It's seems to be the best shape for a short take off, tactical lifter, so why mess up a good thing, when you can fine tune it....kinda like the car market.
