Description The N-600M (C-63 Continental) is a multi-purpose 6-engined strategic airlifter designed by Sentry Aerospace Industries, which is the Archangel [link] manufacture.

The N-600M is positioned as an intermediate size between the Lockheed C-130, Airbus A400M, and the Boeing C-17.

The M variant or the military version used for rapid strategic airlift of troops and cargo to main operating bases or forward operating bases throughout the world; it can also perform tactical airlift, medical evacuation and airdrop missions. It can also airlift cargo fairly close to a battle area.

The N-600M is powered by six fully reversible, F117-PW-100 turbofan engines (same engine as the C-17 Globemaster III). The thrust reversers direct air upward and forward, reducing the chance of foreign object damage and providing enough thrust to back the aircraft on the ground. The thrust reversers can also be used in flight at idle-reverse for added drag in maximum-rate descents. he thrust reversers can be used to back the aircraft and reverse direction on narrow taxiways.

General Specification:

Crew: 3 or 4 (2 pilots, 3rd optional, 1 loadmaster)

Capacity:
150 troops with palletized seats or
120 troops with standard centerline seats or
40 litter and 58 ambulatory patients or
Cargo, such as one or two M1 Abrams size tanks

Powerplant: 6 Γ— Pratt & Whitney F117-PW-100 turbofans, 40,440 lbf (180 kN) each

Performance:

Maximum speed: 900 km/h (490 knots, 560 mph,) Mach 0.82 depending on cargo weight and altitude

Cruise speed: Mach 0.76 (450 knots, 515 mph, 830 km/h)

Service ceiling: 45,000 ft (13,716 m)

Inspired by the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III and Antonov An-225 Mriya

Could this plane be modified to be a bomber?

It could...by dropping them at rear cargo door, and some heavy modificationsΒ

The idea was sized between the Antonov An-124 Ruslan and the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. It looks bigger because the cockpit was set in lower deck.

that might be the cause indeed.... do you have any exact sizes? I want to use this one as an inspiration for an AU I'm working on.

Well it exact size was unavailable for now. I'll made an comparison with other aircraft next time. For the mean time it size was between An-124 and C-17.

Thank you, I just visit your gallery. I think we are in the same picture (in futuristic aircraft design).

IMPOSING...is a suitable adjective for it

Thank you, it needs more minor changes.

Think about a bomber version, able to carry some cruise missiles...

Great looking aircraft

One thing though, the two side mounted engines, they would be subject to FOD (Foreign Object Damage), which would be kicked up by the main landing gear. Try doing a version, with six underwing F117 engines OR re-engine with four Pratt & Whitney PW4000-94's 63,500 lbf (281.6kN) each.

It looks like the fusioned result of an AN-124 (or possibly an AN-225) and a C-130 Hercules.

Nicely done! Faved!
