Airbus A400M Head-On Takeoff Farnborough Airshow 2010.

[flynmid]

Probably the first cool Airbus

[FilRuss101]

That has lost his nuts while taking off

[BumbleBeat21]

I guess the really hot rising air really helped the liftoff there.

[Bourinos02]

@BumbleBeat21 Or maybe it's most powerful single-rotation turboprops helped him ...

[ARCHERKESTREL1]

Airborn in only 10 seconds

[bobsurgranny]

Really like this aircraft, you can see why they call it the GRIZZLY BEAR.

[kiemc100]

runway looks short

[Guyalon123]

@kiemc100 Because of the zoom

[SAACAAS]

Made in Spain :D

[mrfadi]

what is stall

[MartinHDJ]

Looks like a little Globemaster

[Sleepinglion22]

First time I saw one of these was at an Air show in Nevada. Needless to say the whole crowd just kinda stood there like "how the hell did it just do that"

[phoenix091997]

just curious is this the first modern military plane airbus created?

[EuroSon99]

@phoenix091997, Apart from air refueling planes this is the first. Europe should work more together on common defense like this. Having 27 different nations with duplicate military structure`s and duplicate Generals and duplicate Captains etc. wastes at least tens of billions and makes Europe`s defense far less robust. Besides it would cause some more unity in Europe that is lacking now that the brand new Euro currency is hit by the worst financial crisis of the past century.

[ratgira1966]

Wow. That probably is barely within the envelope. Wow!

[cinkmoot]

LOVE THAT QUICK BANK

[mikester1290]

I guess the guy at 3:20 likes the A380 more?

[mattwebb02]

A bit shy that plane. Doesn't want to go meet people, turns straight away! LOL...

[crappy4478]

i still say a c-130 got naughty with a c-17 when nobody was looking.

[xfinchx]

@crappy4478 well your a gimp then aren't you

[kinsley2108]

@crappy4478 Precisely.

[lap116]

@crappy4478 yeah and a great child was born :)

[motokid032]

@crappy4478

The Hercmaster III!

[mjcuracao]

This may seem like a stunt. All the Pilots do is a take off after v2, and then a heavy bank! Then adjust shortly, shows after bank, how powerful the engines are to climb the aircraft even more. That is why I love to see Test Pilots Fly!!!

[burblebot]

Not sure if it was the same day, but I was there too. For me this was one of the most spectacular flights - the way the pilot threw that plane around and at such a low speed was amazing to watch!

[mjcuracao]

@burblebot

Low speed is your view, or how you see the plane take off!

It is clear you do not know anything about, Video or Photography.

And not so much about Aircraft!

Yes! Amazing to watch! No one was throwing anything!

This was clearly an EMPTY Cargo Plane! No Pilot would RISK his Crew or Career!

Just a steep Right hand Climb, nothing More!

[burblebot]

@mjcuracao

The comment about speed was in comparison to all the other aircraft I saw, and reiterating my original comment, this was one of the most spectacular flights I saw on the day. This is MY view. I don't know why you are referring to my knowledge about video or photography as I was talking about what I was seeing with my own eyes on the day.

My comment about throwing the plane around was a figure of speech. Granted English may not be your native language - I'll know for next time.

[mjcuracao]

@burblebot PILOTS KNOW WHAT YOU SAY! I know, ok! OK! Enough! I was a little under the Influence of some Rum! Did not want to make you look bad. But you must agree, that it is very hard or nearly impossible to say how fast a plane is flying, if taking of or flying in front of you, until it will turn, bank, descend or climb? Not? Anyway, sorry to offend or upset you. Not my intention. Showed how cheap and Short I was!! Respect. Photo or Video! Many Angles show Nothing and More!

[jpwils0]

@mjcuracao WTF you talk about? You are the pilot plane fly drink rum fly fast slow camera??? ENOUGH!

[getplaning]

Holy s***!

[SR71ABCD]

Yeah me too at RAF Fairford can't wait to see the rest of them at RAF Brize Norton!

[longsweep1]

[dan68543]
