I'm much more impressed with this A400M display than I was by the F-35A display. Europe now has two VERY high end tactical transport options in production, with the Alenia C-27J and the Airbus A400M. I really hope Airbus will continue to develop the A400M into various special missions variants, similar to what Alenia/Leonardo has done with the C-27J. Though with Airbus already developing a whole range of special missions variants of the C-295 right now, I'm not sure how likely that is at the moment.
L'A400M est trop grand et génère trop de turbulences pour ravitailler des hélicoptères en vol. Si la France vient d'acheter un C130, c'est pour ravitailler ses Caracal en vol. Comparer le C130 et l'A400M n'a pas beaucoup de sens, certes ce sont deux avions de transport mais l'A400M est bien plus volumineux et dispose d'une autonomie bien supérieure. Pour le reste, le C130 est une machine extraordinaire et volera encore très longtemps, c'est indiscutable.
That's the mystery. They aren't turning very fast at all. Two are going backwards I see. Interesting aero-dynamics at work. Maybe there's a helium balloon inside eh? Why the long hold at the start?

Stephane, check out A400M operated by Royal Malaysian Air Force unbelievable success in international humanitarian relief effort in Palu, lndonesia. Landed on a slightly damaged 2000 meters runaway in an airport city in Palu. Carried in its cargo two oil tankers, each with 5000 litres of petrol. The following day successfully carried a 22 tons excavator to the same location. It was an achievement surpassed even Airbus expectation of its capability. Four days operation n eight sorties. Mission accomplished!
I live in Jersey, Channel Islands, right on the main flight path and we have Atlas over fairly often to train, I'm 36 years old and I still run to the window when I hear something 'different' about, In fact, I still run to the window when I hear sirens going past just to see what service it is, maybe my Missus is right and I am just a Man-Child after all, lol Happy 2020 🍻
The use of propellers on the A400 seems brilliant, to me. At first, I wondered why the props seemed oddly, and overtly tilted downward relative to the wing. Which, at first glance, would seem to provide a thrust vector component counter to the wing’s lift. Then it occurs, that what the tilt is actually doing is providing a significant artificial airspeed over the wing. Greatly improving STOL performance. Imagine, that that any plane were sitting on a runway in a steady Hurricane wind. The Hurricane would provide enough effective airspeed over the wings to lift the plane, even though it were at standstill on the runway. Such an effect seems likely the reason the props are overtly tilted downward as they are. Brilliant.
3:16 is hilarious. One of the people on the flight line was making the universal semi truck blow your horn arm motion and the pilot threw back the universal jerking off arm motion 🤣🤣😂
Merci pour cette excellente vidéo ! J'ai vraiment hâte que le A400M règle les quelques petits problèmes restant pour clouer le bec à tous les oiseaux de mauvaise augure qui s'imaginent qu'un appareil aussi novateur pourrait sortir d'usine sans aucune amélioration à faire ! Ils n'ont qu'à jeter un petit coup d'oeil à l'histoire du C130 Hercules, qui bien qu'infiniment moins novateur à son époque, a mit plusieurs décennies avant de donner pleinement satisfaction ! On parlait aussi de "désastre industriel", mais ce "désastre" a tout de même rapporté des milliards à Lockheed...
Il est incroyable et pourtant je n'y connais rien mais ont peut voir que pour un engin aussi gros il y a une certaine grâce et cet accélération m'a étonné ! j'ai vu que vous parliez français et je voulais savoir si vous pouviez me dire pourquoi il a des hélices alors que les autres gros porteur ont des réacteurs ?? (désolé pour mon amateurisme !)
@@pakman5636 Je ne suis pas un expert mais il me semble que le principal avantage est la consommation moindre turbopropulseurs (moteur à hélice) par rapport aux turboréacteurs pour des avions évoluant sous les 900 km/h
@@guhiguha6060 Les hélices sont de loin supérieures aux réacteurs pour l'accélération initiale et la poussée inverse Cela confère de meilleures performances aux décollage et atterrissages sur terrains courts.
@@guhiguha6060 Les hélices déplacent un large volume d'air à une vitesse relativement basse comparativement aux réacteurs. Elles ont plus de 'mordant" a basse vitesse, donc permettent une accélération initiale plus rapide au décollage.Quant à la poussée inverse d'une hélice, elle est plus efficace que celle d'un réacteur, étant directement dirigée vers l'avant en pleine surface du disque et sans la poussée résiduelle d'une turbine de réacteur. Beaucoup de site sur le Net vous expliquerons cela.J'ai moi même constaté ce fait en quelques 28,000 heures de vol dont une bonne partie sur turbo propulseur.
STOL capabilities look amazing. Hope this is on the radar (pun intended) of many countries as a HERC replacement, though not sure of its cargo capacity. looks like its between the HERC and C17
They probably stripped the plane empty inside but I don't know that for sure do that with a full load like a C-17 can let's see a backup it might be able to back up I'm not sure maybe somebody else could tell me
It has a Combat TOGA mod which allows full RPM that will cause serious problems after 3 mins, like melting the turbines and blowing the engines. Also it can do that if required with 15 tons. Cargo can be arrested strictly. But dont expect it to do that with An IFV inside.
Who would have ever thought you could take off with a cargo plane this size, go straight up, turn back and then up again all within the length of an airstrip?
If we put aside the 4 min of taxiing, the manoeuve is exceptional. Try that with an Hércules at that height and you will be biting the dust. Safer and with better features both as a cargo Carrier and for the deployment of paratroops.
Those propellers have a lot of blades, but notice how the propeller blades' tips are swept back and are elliptical in shape to reduce vortices at the tips just as winglets reduce wingtip vortices and thus reduce lift-induced drag!
7:02 "You know what? I'm getting rid of overruning on a runway of literally almost 10000ft (near the 3000m)... Let's just pull the reverses by inclining blades and throttling to FULL?, right?" Here we go, we can now taxi back to our hangar by.. using reverses on TWY for the show! There goes another special moment during the next minutes, a plane using reverses to taxi. Tower would think that's normal and a casual maneuver in the army.
Listen again, you can still hear engine applying thrust as it passes over. These engines are turbo props (jet engines with propellers), so even though propellers were disengaged, the jet is still running and not stalled. I have been near C130s with propellers disengaged (I believe pilots call it feathering) while parked for safety while ground troops load. The engines still running, allows them to rev up and take off quickly
Mon Dieu! -- that plane's performance between 00:45 and 3:00 was absolutely on the bleeding edge. I practically had to pry my fingernails out of my armrests after they finally let up a bit. Whew!!! Stirring stuff, messieurs, truly stirring.
Merci d'avoir posté cette vidéo !! moi qui suis un ancien de la Royale !!! ais servi trois ans sur les 32 ans de services sur les portes avions et j’étais fasciné de les voir décoller et atterrir !!
Ah i love this plane i was a little bit upset about it gonna replace the Hercules now im not its such an amazing plane its good enough to replace the Hercules even though that plane is a legend and was used for many years and so far nothing has replaced it but improved versions of itself... but this plane is even better than the Hercules as a cargo airlifter since it can hold more and still work as nicely as the Hercules....
@@kyleboatright7403 C17 is twice more capable in weight than the A400M. The A400M is a big C130 where the C17 is a small C5. We lack of a heavy strategic horse with a C17-like up to 100 tons cargo.
The propellors are something else - they really bite the air. Giving it fast acceleration and good speed I suppose. Apparently designed to overtake the C-130 with larger size. The props must cost a fortune however. Someone said Russian but Airbus is European.
Not to mention...Ummm I think we can manage ourselves...we always have. Secondly there wouldn't even be a A400M if we hadn't first invented the C130 to begin with (Ummm, _starting in the late 50's if you recall_ ). Think about that for a while.
Nope..it’s like you’re comparing a 130 to a C-17..different sizes for different missions. What will get the AF’s interest one day is when you can develop a 130 size airframe with the ability of an Osprey..THEN, you’ll have something!
@@crookedriver2079 That's why the A330 MRTT was choose by the USAF, but Beoing was crying so they cancel the procurement and now their cry because of the endless list of problems of the KC46.
Zooming in too tight on the aircraft makes it difficult to get a perspective of the manoeuvres. Try to add some ground as a reference point. Also edit out some of the taxi time.
Nothing happens until 3:54 when it rolls down the runway. When I move out of my Mom's basement and get a job, I'm going to see if I can pick one of these up. They are cool as shit! $$$? That, ...or a Shifter-Kart.
And you can fit the most of the modern vehicle without dismount some stuff in the C130. That's the reason of born of the A400M having the same landing capabilities of the C130 with a bigger cargo capabilities (Weight and size). Even the USAF want a cargo like the A400M today... So your comment is just a proof of your lack of knowledge.
Sure looks like a C130; but a lot better. Too late for Boeing to substitute these for the 737 MAX 8 and give Southwest Airlines a fleet of A400Ms until Boeing fixes their fuckup with the oversized engines on fuselage NEVER designed as such. Oooops. or is it?
What a military transport plane has to do with a civilian plane like the 737? The software glitch in MAX 8s comes from the fact that Boeing subcontracted it to Indian low-cost software companies, in the assumption that the MCAS function would not be so critical in flight.
impressive for a "terrestrian" plane though I admit having seen quicker and bigger machines. Were they prototypes ? I have unfortunately never seen them on photograhs !
It was never designed or intended to be anything like the huge lifters. Sometimes smaller is better, especially when long ranges, huge runways,and bulky cargo are not envisioned. The A400M was designed to replace the C-130 Hercules, arguably the most successful airlifter of all time. When you are not the USA or Russia, long ranges requiring long runways is not logical when a range of 500 miles and the ability to put tanks and troops into a location with just crude and short runways makes all the sense in the world.
Did you watched whole ofed the video? Go at 4:05 to at 4:15 and watched fromed at there dude.

not at all Paul. although you can change from 60fps to 30fps with this camera, that change will effect the recording quality and hardly, if at all, effect the visual effect as seen here. not knowing the mode the video was made with, I can only guess it was in Sports Mode as I've seen similar results when I used to shoot video with a video camera (if I do video now, I use a dSLR at motorsports shoots and always dial the shutter speed down to at least 1/50sec). Ideally, to give prop blur, the shutter speed will need to be lower and can be manually adjusted within this camera's menu system. a lower shutter speed will effect the exposure, so the use of ND filters is also recommended, especially in bright light situations. I recommend having a look at the UK Aviation Movies channel for some excellent examples of prop blue in video. cheers
@@SportsFotos42 I think I know what you mean but that's not the shutter speed, its the aperture and/or ISO (or film speed). I'm a photographer since 1980, (strictly still-life). I presently shoot a Nikon D4S which is capable of 4K video. Adjusting the shutter speed when shooting still shots will get effects like what you're speaking about. However, the video function only opens the shutter once and it opens it to its maximum. I'm betting that you mean the "aperture" or the film-speed ("ISO" is the speed rating/adjustment at which film can absorb light. In a DSLR, it's the sensor instead of the film). I'm betting that you mean the "ISO" and/or "aperture". In still-life images, the smaller the aperture, (F16, F18, etc.), the farther your DOF is in front of, and behind the subject. When you want a very short DOF in front and in back of the subject, you would set the aperture to a large setting (such as F5, F4, F2.8, etc.). The slower the shutter speed, the blurrier is the moving subject, (such as a waterfall). However, that effect is very dependent on the aperture and ISO settings. Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO can be adjusted to create different effects in still-life. However, in DSLRs, the video capability only offers aperture, ISO, and frame rate options. The shutter in video mode opens to its maximum size and must stay fully opened during the entire recording, (just like a video film camera would do back in the 80's). If the shutter closes, it will block the light and the subject's image will be kept from getting to the sensor. This is particularly true with DSLRs. The shutter opens when you begin recording and does not close until you stop recording video. This is why you can't see anything when you look through the viewfinder of a DSLR while shooting video unless you buy special attachments, (which feed through the lens not through the camera). That said, if I want to shoot a still image while I'm video recording the subject, cameras like mine can do that. I can set the shutter speed for that still image just as I would if I was not shooting video. Then when I press the shutter release, the camera captures the still image without interrupting the video. Although, many less expensive cameras will interrupt the video when shooting a still image during the video process. In the D4S, the shutter speed for that image will only effect the still image not the video and will not interrupt the video. The actual video process in a DSLR doesn't open and close any shutters except for once during the single, initial, opening when the recording starts, and then closes once when the recording stops. I'm sure that you meant ISO or maybe even aperture. Rich
appreciate the response, but shutter speed is 100% what I meant and if the original poster changed his camera's shutter speed to a lower one, the props would blur. please be aware that the camera used for this video does not have ISO control (and ISO has nothing to do with this). it is true that the aperture may need to be changed to allow for the extra exposure to compensate for the slower shutter (note I also mentioned the use of an ND filter earlier).... these are the only "manual" settings this Panasonic camera can give... although changing the recorded video type only gives options of 25fps or 50fps... I didn't realise that Nikon dSLRs didn't have the capability of adjusting the shutter speed when shooting videos. all of my dSLRs give me that option while shooting and even my little Panasonic DMC LX-100 allows me to do the same. as you know, the shutter does not open/close for each frame, however the shutter speed you select will determine electronically how the camera exposes the sensor to light for each frame, much like a regular shutter, and the result should be more blur (prop blur in this case) with a lower shutter speed. this website may be of some interest to folks out there: vimeo.com/blog/post/frame-rate-vs-shutter-speed-setting-the-record-str/ cheers
@@SportsFotos42 I have no doubt that Panasonic is using the term “shutter speed” to describe a setting that would give a comparable special effect if it were shot with a still image camera. There is NO shutter opening and closing at 60 fps in the video camera, (which I believe you have noted as well), and I’m sure now, that you meant Panasonic referred to a special effects adjustment as a “Shutter Speed”. Just because they may have ‘labeled’ the control to accomplish that special effect, as “Shutter Speed” doesn’t mean they are actually adjusting the speed of any shutters. The control merely BEHAVES like a shutter adjustment if it was shot with a still image camera. Therefore, Panasonic uses a misnomer for their customers to better understand. That actually makes sense from a ‘customer-friendly’ marketing POV. They know that their customers are not familiar with the far more technical and accurately labeled pro equipment. As far as I’m concerned, Panasonic’s failure to use a more technical term to describe a special effect is not my problem. I’m standing on my original statement, which is that no shutter speeds can be adjusted in a video camera, (not in the real sense of the term.). In addition, I think you know that and deliberately attempted to mislead me rather than explain the actual and true meaning of your camera’s controls. Apparently, Panasonic offers some in camera special effects that would otherwise be accomplished in the editing phase if not in-camera. Many non-pro cameras (and lately, even pro-bodies), include these little things and I think that does make things more convenient. I think my D4S offers some in-camera video effects similar to this feature but I don’t shoot much video so I didn’t really look into it. BTW: Nikon & Canon produce lower quality, economically priced cameras just as companies like Panasonic do. Even though both companies (Nikon & Canon), are overpriced, the lowest quality cameras they produce would likely be as good as ‘upper-mid’ level models from companies like Panasonic. Trust me, Panasonic and the many other economically priced camera manufacturers, haven’t even come close to making a camera as advanced as a Nikon D4S. FWIW

I was there and it was more impressive in real time than the video.
Great aircraft but the camera work diesnt give context to the manoeuvres so sadly the film doesn't really show off what brilliant plane the A400 is.
Amazing machine, european technology, hope all our armies keep developing all or systems.

The Hurricane would provide enough effective airspeed over the wings to lift the plane, even though it were at standstill on the runway. Such an effect seems likely the reason the props are overtly tilted downward as they are. Brilliant.
3:16 is hilarious. One of the people on the flight line was making the universal semi truck blow your horn arm motion and the pilot threw back the universal jerking off arm motion 🤣🤣😂
Merci pour cette excellente vidéo !
J'ai vraiment hâte que le A400M règle les quelques petits problèmes restant pour clouer le bec à tous les oiseaux de mauvaise augure qui s'imaginent qu'un appareil aussi novateur pourrait sortir d'usine sans aucune amélioration à faire !
Ils n'ont qu'à jeter un petit coup d'oeil à l'histoire du C130 Hercules, qui bien qu'infiniment moins novateur à son époque, a mit plusieurs décennies avant de donner pleinement satisfaction ! On parlait aussi de "désastre industriel", mais ce "désastre" a tout de même rapporté des milliards à Lockheed...
Il est incroyable et pourtant je n'y connais rien mais ont peut voir que pour un engin aussi gros il y a une certaine grâce et cet accélération m'a étonné ! j'ai vu que vous parliez français et je voulais savoir si vous pouviez me dire pourquoi il a des hélices alors que les autres gros porteur ont des réacteurs ?? (désolé pour mon amateurisme !)
@@pakman5636 Je ne suis pas un expert mais il me semble que le principal avantage est la consommation moindre turbopropulseurs (moteur à hélice) par rapport aux turboréacteurs pour des avions évoluant sous les 900 km/h
@@guhiguha6060 Les hélices sont de loin supérieures aux réacteurs pour l'accélération initiale et la poussée inverse Cela confère de meilleures performances aux décollage et atterrissages sur terrains courts.
@@richardmorin6968 comment ça supérieures ? Plus de puissance tu veux dire ?
@@guhiguha6060 Les hélices déplacent un large volume d'air à une vitesse relativement basse comparativement aux réacteurs. Elles ont plus de 'mordant" a basse vitesse, donc permettent une accélération initiale plus rapide au décollage.Quant à la poussée inverse d'une hélice, elle est plus efficace que celle d'un réacteur, étant directement dirigée vers l'avant en pleine surface du disque et sans la poussée résiduelle d'une turbine de réacteur. Beaucoup de site sur le Net vous expliquerons cela.J'ai moi même constaté ce fait en quelques 28,000 heures de vol dont une bonne partie sur turbo propulseur.
Manœuvre incroyable ! Il a agité sa main derrière le hublot à 3:15 !!!!…
Great video! The camera is holding nicely.
No loop or barrel roll here...if you want to see that then check out the Super Hercules 2018 Farnborough performance.! 54 year old design.
Magnifique performance
Hi friends , can you be my channel's friend ? My pleasure 😃
Look at my Vlogs

STOL capabilities look amazing. Hope this is on the radar (pun intended) of many countries as a HERC replacement, though not sure of its cargo capacity. looks like its between the HERC and C17
Kyle Harrison i
Correct, It can lift 70.000lbs or 35.000kg.
Herkey bird doesn't need replacing. It's still going strong after more than a half-century and still in production.
@@thewaywardwind548 very true, especially the newer upgraded versions used only by the USAF. Truly the best!
Very cool video and outstanding maneuvers with such a big aircraft. Wouldn't recommend it with a load on. And surprisingly quiet.
Barbed wire fencing! Great.Next level security.
U Can FFWd to 04:00 before anything even begins to happen ... unless you think it's incredible to look at a parked up A400
Big girl thinks she's a fighter craft 😍😍
wow, what a short lenght landing... it seems this pilot can land this machine even on a public square in a city
They probably stripped the plane empty inside but I don't know that for sure do that with a full load like a C-17 can let's see a backup it might be able to back up I'm not sure maybe somebody else could tell me
Stop on a dime and give you 9 cent change!
great shot
So AIRBUS MADE SURENTHAT THEY LOADED THE CORRECT SOFTWARE,FOR THE PARIS AIRSHOW,,AFTER WHAT THEY DID IN SPAIN!, , Cheers From NaJUSA🇫🇷🇺🇸
Those blades are mesmerizing.
Don't expect it to do that V2 climb and survive with a load. Cargo WILL shift.
Play Jazz music
It has a Combat TOGA mod which allows full RPM that will cause serious problems after 3 mins, like melting the turbines and blowing the engines. Also it can do that if required with 15 tons. Cargo can be arrested strictly. But dont expect it to do that with An IFV inside.
Who would have ever thought you could take off with a cargo plane this size, go straight up, turn back and then up again all within the length of an airstrip?
Any flying tub bigger than an F-16 that can maneuver like this gets 2 thumbs up from me. Also helps to have a top notch pilot too!
Obviously, you've never been on an AC-130 mission.
Looks like a C130 and a C-5A had a baby....
Whitpusmc C-130 with AN-70 propellers. I would say.
ceferino lopez yeah, it really does!
Where is the loop good old C130 can do inverted loop , nothing special what a waste
If we put aside the 4 min of taxiing, the manoeuve is exceptional. Try that with an Hércules at that height and you will be biting the dust. Safer and with better features both as a cargo Carrier and for the deployment of paratroops.
If so then am sure the US Air Force & Navy will soon be mass purchasing upgraded versions of this fine German aircraft.
How old is that thing is it elastic band powered?
Those were both good landings...
Very cool display
Those propellers have a lot of blades, but notice how the propeller blades' tips are swept back and are elliptical in shape to reduce vortices at the tips just as winglets reduce wingtip vortices and thus reduce lift-induced drag!
The ultimate high bypass jet engine for all intents and purposes. 8 bladed prop.
Looks like a cross between a C-130 and a C-17...
Quelle merveille cet avion ...
AM400 is a great military cargo plan. its STOVL capability is amazing.
lee leedavidbell you mean STOL. I can assure you, the A400M cannot do a Vertical Landing, 😉
7:02 "You know what? I'm getting rid of overruning on a runway of literally almost 10000ft (near the 3000m)... Let's just pull the reverses by inclining blades and throttling to FULL?, right?" Here we go, we can now taxi back to our hangar by.. using reverses on TWY for the show! There goes another special moment during the next minutes, a plane using reverses to taxi. Tower would think that's normal and a casual maneuver in the army.
Incredible? Watching propellers spin on the tarmac. Skip this one folks.
Beautiful bird.
La lenteur des hélices est impressionnante ! Illusion d'optique ou génie de la conception ?
Illusion.
Wow! Landed in a full stall mode! :-)
Listen again, you can still hear engine applying thrust as it passes over. These engines are turbo props (jet engines with propellers), so even though propellers were disengaged, the jet is still running and not stalled. I have been near C130s with propellers disengaged (I believe pilots call it feathering) while parked for safety while ground troops load. The engines still running, allows them to rev up and take off quickly
... nothing quite like watching an aircraft sitting revving it's engines
LOL!
Now if you ask big boy what that was all about your answer he was flexing his muscles were those propellers not turning at all coming in to land
Just wow. Almost 80 tons, thrown about like that.
Decolagem fantástica, esta máquina é uma obra de arte!!

Mon Dieu! -- that plane's performance between 00:45 and 3:00 was absolutely on the bleeding edge. I practically had to pry my fingernails out of my armrests after they finally let up a bit. Whew!!! Stirring stuff, messieurs, truly stirring.
Super Video
Merci d'avoir posté cette vidéo !! moi qui suis un ancien de la Royale !!! ais servi trois ans sur les 32 ans de services sur les portes avions et j’étais fasciné de les voir décoller et atterrir !!
Hey Stephanie, How about editing out the 4 minutes of taxiing before you post it?!?!?! Pain in the ass.
Ah but can it LOOP like a super Hercules
For real.
steve lewis you beat me to it.
After watching this video I checked the definition of "Incredible" in the Oxford English dictionary. Can I have the last 7.26 minutes back please?
Just jn
But... did you not find it "incredible" that the poster had the balls to use such a title?
Ah i love this plane i was a little bit upset about it gonna replace the Hercules now im not its such an amazing plane its good enough to replace the Hercules even though that plane is a legend and was used for many years and so far nothing has replaced it but improved versions of itself... but this plane is even better than the Hercules as a cargo airlifter since it can hold more and still work as nicely as the Hercules....
I guess the C-130 is chop liver? They been doing that back up maneuver for 50 years or more!!!!
Actually, this would be the equivalent of our C-17 in size, weight and cargo capacity except, of course, that it is a turbo-prop
@@michaelmcguinness59 The C-17 can carry the weight of a fully loaded A-400M. They are very different classes of aircraft.
@@kyleboatright7403 C17 is twice more capable in weight than the A400M.
The A400M is a big C130 where the C17 is a small C5.
We lack of a heavy strategic horse with a C17-like up to 100 tons cargo.
The propellors are something else - they really bite the air. Giving it fast acceleration and good speed I suppose. Apparently designed to overtake the C-130 with larger size. The props must cost a fortune however. Someone said Russian but Airbus is European.
AirBus is French
Airbus is European ! The HQ for Airbus Defence & Space is in Germany.
The US is looking for a C130 replacement. This would do fine, but they're reluctant since it's not American.
The C130 will be hard to replace and It will always be a US Air Force iconic aircraft
Not to mention...Ummm I think we can manage ourselves...we always have. Secondly there wouldn't even be a A400M if we hadn't first invented the C130 to begin with (Ummm, _starting in the late 50's if you recall_ ).
Think about that for a while.
Nope..it’s like you’re comparing a 130 to a C-17..different sizes for different missions. What will get the AF’s interest one day is when you can develop a 130 size airframe with the ability of an Osprey..THEN, you’ll have something!
C-17s, USA has plenty.
@@crookedriver2079 That's why the A330 MRTT was choose by the USAF, but Beoing was crying so they cancel the procurement and now their cry because of the endless list of problems of the KC46.
Ce "bestiaux" est de chez nous... Et c'est du lourd en transport. Rahou !!!
Zooming in too tight on the aircraft makes it difficult to get a perspective of the manoeuvres. Try to add some ground as a reference point. Also edit out some of the taxi time.
Nothing happens until 3:54 when it rolls down the runway. When I move out of my Mom's basement and get a job, I'm going to see if I can pick one of these up. They are cool as shit! $$$? That, ...or a Shifter-Kart.
Sorry guys I missed the incredible part???
Over the Top....!!!....
The Lockheed C-130. Doing this same thing since 1954, and STILL in production with many updates.
And you can fit the most of the modern vehicle without dismount some stuff in the C130.
That's the reason of born of the A400M having the same landing capabilities of the C130 with a bigger cargo capabilities (Weight and size).
Even the USAF want a cargo like the A400M today...
So your comment is just a proof of your lack of knowledge.
Net een duif met een mooie vlucht
Beautiful!

Thumb up, fantastic Video.
Awesome Fly !
Over 4 minutes of nothing then just hard turns, nothing incredible here, move along.
I watched for more than 7 minutes thinking any moment now and nothing. Where is the Incredible maneuver? A real time waster...
Wasted time...nothing amazing here!
Sure looks like a C130; but a lot better.
Too late for Boeing to substitute these for the 737 MAX 8 and give Southwest Airlines a fleet of A400Ms
until Boeing fixes their fuckup with the oversized engines on fuselage NEVER designed as such. Oooops.
or is it?
What a military transport plane has to do with a civilian plane like the 737? The software glitch in MAX 8s comes from the fact that Boeing subcontracted it to Indian low-cost software companies, in the assumption that the MCAS function would not be so critical in flight.
Too much zooming in, completely spoilt. And what was all that time wasted videoing the taxiing!
Totally agree.
So, we wait 4 minutes to see the take-off, then when start flying you cut the video several times!
Incrível um avião desse tamanho fazer essas manobras!
And up she goes!!! And now that all the soldiers have thrown up we can land!!
Awesome!!
It might be 7.5 mins long, but nothing happens until 4.00 mins - that's when the action starts.
What a beauty of a peaceful machine!!!
You should check out the RC replica of this exact plane! More exciting than this!
Incredible !
Explain please!
impressive for a "terrestrian" plane though I admit having seen quicker and bigger machines. Were they prototypes ?
I have unfortunately never seen them on photograhs !
It was never designed or intended to be anything like the huge lifters. Sometimes smaller is better, especially when long ranges, huge runways,and bulky cargo are not envisioned. The A400M was designed to replace the C-130 Hercules, arguably the most successful airlifter of all time.
When you are not the USA or Russia, long ranges requiring long runways is not logical when a range of 500 miles and the ability to put tanks and troops into a location with just crude and short runways makes all the sense in the world.
yes...but it can fly!
It would have been incomparably cheaper and simpler to actually buy a bunch of C130s, then...
I have never seen a plane sit on the tarmac quite like this one.
Je suis désolé, à quelle heure était la manœuvre incroyable? Cela me semblait très normal.
Did you watched whole ofed the video? Go at 4:05 to at 4:15 and watched fromed at there dude. To lifted off at that angles and thened immediately switched back at very a hard angle is pretty very a cool incredible ofed maneuver and then does it do it a doubled ofed that maneuver and more even and that is fromed at low altitude taked off and ined a HUGE air crafts propellers driven Cargo Transporter! Say what foolished things do you wished but that is being a cool airs craft and cool maneuvers. I am fromed US where at we haved C5m Super Galaxy and C17 Globemasters and C141 Star Lifters and C130 Hercules and air crafts as that and I do thinked the A400m is pretty very a super cool transporter airs craft! The French geted that one right for sure. Gived credits where at credits are due. And ifed do you thinked those maneuvers are being normals and easy thened I wished to see you quited acting as a arms chair ACE and go do some ofed thosed maneuverings yours selfed! I do not thinked any REAL ofed pilot would to say that because do THEY know it how hard is REAL flight ined a huge air crafts as that! And FOR SURE none ofed any US Airs Force Cargo Transporters pilots never would say it that neither.
And be for do you tryd for castigated me for how cand I writed just better you thinked some ofed person do haved disbiltys. I am at all most to 15 and I haved brains opiration for a douched whistle turtles turd who did to tryd beated me to death at when was I 11 and he dided cracked my head and I geted a TBI and now do I haved little ofed brains damaged as called aphasias whiched does maked me muted and to haved troubles for writed stuff do I thinked a lot.

@@jacobsparry8525 votre réponse est un peu longue, il suffisait de dire que un tel décollage avec un gros porteur n'est pas banal ;)
c'est filmé du sol, donc lorsqu'on voit le dessus des ailes c'est qu'il a un gros roulis
Oui bien sûre c'est le genre de vol que vous voyez toujours en Escadron bien évidemment
That's one incredible plane !!!
just a thought.... next time try having a lower shutter speed to make the visuals more interesting by introducing prop blur.
Don't you mean "frame Rate"? (Recording speed)
not at all Paul. although you can change from 60fps to 30fps with this camera, that change will effect the recording quality and hardly, if at all, effect the visual effect as seen here. not knowing the mode the video was made with, I can only guess it was in Sports Mode as I've seen similar results when I used to shoot video with a video camera (if I do video now, I use a dSLR at motorsports shoots and always dial the shutter speed down to at least 1/50sec). Ideally, to give prop blur, the shutter speed will need to be lower and can be manually adjusted within this camera's menu system. a lower shutter speed will effect the exposure, so the use of ND filters is also recommended, especially in bright light situations. I recommend having a look at the UK Aviation Movies channel for some excellent examples of prop blue in video. cheers
@@SportsFotos42 I think I know what you mean but that's not the shutter speed, its the aperture and/or ISO (or film speed). I'm a photographer since 1980, (strictly still-life). I presently shoot a Nikon D4S which is capable of 4K video. Adjusting the shutter speed when shooting still shots will get effects like what you're speaking about.
However, the video function only opens the shutter once and it opens it to its maximum. I'm betting that you mean the "aperture" or the film-speed ("ISO" is the speed rating/adjustment at which film can absorb light. In a DSLR, it's the sensor instead of the film).
I'm betting that you mean the "ISO" and/or "aperture".
In still-life images, the smaller the aperture, (F16, F18, etc.), the farther your DOF is in front of, and behind the subject. When you want a very short DOF in front and in back of the subject, you would set the aperture to a large setting (such as F5, F4, F2.8, etc.). The slower the shutter speed, the blurrier is the moving subject, (such as a waterfall). However, that effect is very dependent on the aperture and ISO settings.
Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO can be adjusted to create different effects in still-life.
However, in DSLRs, the video capability only offers aperture, ISO, and frame rate options.
The shutter in video mode opens to its maximum size and must stay fully opened during the entire recording, (just like a video film camera would do back in the 80's). If the shutter closes, it will block the light and the subject's image will be kept from getting to the sensor.
This is particularly true with DSLRs. The shutter opens when you begin recording and does not close until you stop recording video. This is why you can't see anything when you look through the viewfinder of a DSLR while shooting video unless you buy special attachments, (which feed through the lens not through the camera).
That said, if I want to shoot a still image while I'm video recording the subject, cameras like mine can do that. I can set the shutter speed for that still image just as I would if I was not shooting video. Then when I press the shutter release, the camera captures the still image without interrupting the video.
Although, many less expensive cameras will interrupt the video when shooting a still image during the video process. In the D4S, the shutter speed for that image will only effect the still image not the video and will not interrupt the video.
The actual video process in a DSLR doesn't open and close any shutters except for once during the single, initial, opening when the recording starts, and then closes once when the recording stops.
I'm sure that you meant ISO or maybe even aperture.
Rich
appreciate the response, but shutter speed is 100% what I meant and if the original poster changed his camera's shutter speed to a lower one, the props would blur. please be aware that the camera used for this video does not have ISO control (and ISO has nothing to do with this). it is true that the aperture may need to be changed to allow for the extra exposure to compensate for the slower shutter (note I also mentioned the use of an ND filter earlier).... these are the only "manual" settings this Panasonic camera can give... although changing the recorded video type only gives options of 25fps or 50fps...
I didn't realise that Nikon dSLRs didn't have the capability of adjusting the shutter speed when shooting videos. all of my dSLRs give me that option while shooting and even my little Panasonic DMC LX-100 allows me to do the same. as you know, the shutter does not open/close for each frame, however the shutter speed you select will determine electronically how the camera exposes the sensor to light for each frame, much like a regular shutter, and the result should be more blur (prop blur in this case) with a lower shutter speed.
this website may be of some interest to folks out there:

@@SportsFotos42 I have no doubt that Panasonic is using the term “shutter speed” to describe a setting that would give a comparable special effect if it were shot with a still image camera.
There is NO shutter opening and closing at 60 fps in the video camera, (which I believe you have noted as well), and I’m sure now, that you meant Panasonic referred to a special effects adjustment as a “Shutter Speed”.
Just because they may have ‘labeled’ the control to accomplish that special effect, as “Shutter Speed” doesn’t mean they are actually adjusting the speed of any shutters. The control merely BEHAVES like a shutter adjustment if it was shot with a still image camera. Therefore, Panasonic uses a misnomer for their customers to better understand.
That actually makes sense from a ‘customer-friendly’ marketing POV. They know that their customers are not familiar with the far more technical and accurately labeled pro equipment.
As far as I’m concerned, Panasonic’s failure to use a more technical term to describe a special effect is not my problem. I’m standing on my original statement, which is that no shutter speeds can be adjusted in a video camera, (not in the real sense of the term.).
In addition, I think you know that and deliberately attempted to mislead me rather than explain the actual and true meaning of your camera’s controls.
Apparently, Panasonic offers some in camera special effects that would otherwise be accomplished in the editing phase if not in-camera.
Many non-pro cameras (and lately, even pro-bodies), include these little things and I think that does make things more convenient. I think my D4S offers some in-camera video effects similar to this feature but I don’t shoot much video so I didn’t really look into it.
BTW:
Nikon & Canon produce lower quality, economically priced cameras just as companies like Panasonic do. Even though both companies (Nikon & Canon), are overpriced, the lowest quality cameras they produce would likely be as good as ‘upper-mid’ level models from companies like Panasonic.
Trust me, Panasonic and the many other economically priced camera manufacturers, haven’t even come close to making a camera as advanced as a Nikon D4S.
FWIW
