The secret to delivering aid: A400M flight tests unlock new horizonsWhat does it take to land a loaded 123-tonne military transport aircraft on a short, unprepared grass runway? Join us behind the scenes at Altengrabow, Germany, for the pivotal flight test campaign that is strengthening the operational future of the Airbus #A400M.In collaboration with the German Armed Forces 🤝, this testing focused on significantly boosting the A400M’s existing capability to operate from challenging, unpaved runways with extended payloads.Why this matters: This enhanced versatility is a game-changer. It means more critical humanitarian aid and disaster relief can be delivered faster and closer to communities in crisis 🌍, and provides vital flexibility for special operations missions.Hear directly from the engineers and test pilot Jon Taylor, who describes the experience as “bumpy, slippery, and green,” and notes the aircraft’s advanced fly-by-wire system is “literally like flying a PlayStation.”#A400M #MilitaryAviation #Airbus
