A400M makes flying return to show circuit


Airbus Military's A400M arrived at ILA in spectacular style, with the European manufacturer back in air display mode after restricting the type to a static-only appearance at July's Farnborough air show.

"Grizzly" development aircraft MSN4 is on show this week, with Airbus test pilot Karl-Heinz Mai having completed an impressive validation routine shortly after its arrival. Including the A400M's signature display manoeuvre, where a bank angle of up to 120˚ is demonstrated following a high-speed pass and climb. The sequence showcases the type's agility and the responsiveness of its Europrop International TP400-D6 engines.
