Re: Speed Agile - stealth cargo aircraft

Four questions/concerns:
1. Will it be durable enough for tactical operations from rough airsrips? Grunts and their equipment can be hard on stealthy paint jobs.
2. Will the flyaway unit cost be low enough to actually replace the C-130 (one for one)?
3. Outside of Special Ops, how would a stealthy transport aircraft be any more useful than current airlifters?
4. Wouldn't concerns about transfer of stealth technology, in addition to unit cost, open a market worldwide for the A400M in the absence of the C-130?
