  • is it true that you can not drop something in flight to the back?? i heart that the back dore is not good

  • @BadTwin25 It's true. LAPES system is not implemented in A400M, because is cosidered so dangerous for aircraft deployer. All freidht must be unload by machines or human work.

  • Hey look, they left some duct tape of the rear stabilizer

  • @elsie911 jajaja These "duck tape" are sensors to measure the flight environment.

  • Forgive me, I don't know everything about aircraft, BUT...here in the year 2010, we're still using prop-drives??? Why???

    Beautiful plane, tho...

  • WearWulf say: The turboprops are more efficient and more easy to maintenance in remote airfields, where the dust is the king...

  • Turbo prop A400M with the need of only 800m long runway and ability to manouver in high G-forces is a good replacement for old C-130s, even US army wants A400Ms.

  • Nice plane for small stuff and short ranges, but cancel the project and buy c-17 Globemasters instead! Why? A400 M is too small (its 37 t max freight does not fit a fully equipped AFV Puma which weighs 43 t), it's too expensive (est. 190 mio. EUR per unit) and it's too late (first delivery set for 3/2013)! Globemaster fits 77 t, costs 140 mio EUR p.u. is also STOL-capable and readily available!

  • yup turbo-prop is most efficient in dust area...

  • @huegshithole - Hell yeah Raven FTW! yeah I go on the NH-90 when it lands on the hellapad add me up we should play sometime

    PSN - Cortesc130

  • @cortes1988 Raven ftw we also got the nh-90

  • This plane is in MAG and it does look alot like a C-17 with props. It would be nice to see these in the air.
