- Crowds were treated to a memorable flight demonstration at the 2014 Farnborough International Airshow in Hampshire, United Kingdom.
Plane enthusiast Tom Pipe captured this footage of an A400M performing some “backflip loops,” showing off exactly what the aircraft can do when pushed to its limits.
“Airbus test pilot flying the A400 into vertical climbs, then turning the aircraft right over on its back, inverted, before swooping back down, bringing the aircraft the level flight, completing the ‘loop’,” said Tom.

for those expecting to see the plane do a loop, welcome to The Sun!
Bahahah thank you
Some are so dumb, the Sun tricked them to believe ukraine is winning the war..................
Cheers
Choosing "Don't suggest this channel".
haha
That loop was so well performed I didn't even notice it.
🤣👍👍
Plane: does 90° banking
Desperate TH-cam channel: "LOOP!"
It’s the sun, they like lying
@@0zblox They don't like it, they can't help it.
It wasn't just a loop, it was an "impressive" loop. Get it right sir. 😂😂
So it's not a loop, what are you going to do about it?
@@repentandknowjesus8674 nothing, i just pointed out the clickbaity title. Did i hurt your feelings with that?
The Sun being as truthful as normal, a wing over no loop.
This aircraft has the ability to bank over to 140 degrees. This is what you see but from under giving false impression of a loop. Still impressive capabilities.
If you look closely enough you can actually see Tom Cruise hanging on the plane.
I was quite sure it was Superman under the plane though
Im watching this over and over again, but I cant find him. Are you sure?
@@Smirnoff103 superman was under a c17 Globemaster. Tom cruise was on this a400m. Go search the scenes on youtube.
Hahahaha
So funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The coolest part was when the loop didn’t happen
😀
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Loooll
That was a loop ☠☠☠☠ well a half of loop 🤦♂️😂😂😂😂 now the best part was 1.5m ppl who just watched this was lie too🤦♂️😂😂😂😂😂
You mean landing and takeoff?
Indeed!😄😄
Not a loop but still impressive airmanship and aircraft.

@Danny Walters Jr. Sure Danny!
Danny Walters Jr. And it was not a full loop, the A400M is not built to do that manoeuvre.

Your idea of a loop and mine, are vastly different. But the bait worked. I clicked.
согласен с Вами. Но бочку он сделает
Umm whose doing the loop? The plane or the camera man? LOL
Not the plane nor the Camera. Done with editing

The title of this video throws you for a loop.
Fully agree I loved how the loop didn't happen that was totally my favorite part!!
So it's not a loop, what are you going to do about it?
OK, so he rolled out of the loop just before completing it but from where I'm sitting it looked like he started from straight and level flight rather than the usual shallow dive. A stunning performance from pilot and aircraft. I'm ex-RAF and I've never seen an aircraft of that size give such an amazing performance.
i remember seeing these performing at riat in 2017 and 18 when i went with the air cadets, incredible manoeuvrability for such a large plane. i think the term would be "overbank" turn as it went just beyond 90deg in the climb to turn 180 and descend out
It's amazing , so that makes a lie not a lie..
😲🤪
When the quiet kid sees something cool and describes it to tv reporter
the cameraman is doing a loop
Then you aren't ex-RAF. I'm ex-US Army and even I've seen C-17s do stuff like this all the time.
I was in a Hercules sim a good few years ago and the pilot wanted to try a loop.
We climbed to about 12 thousand feet, came down at a fair lick and pulled some g when the screens went blank.
Pilot turned to the guy running the sim and asked if that would get back to squadron. “In about ten minutes sir…”
Over torqued the engines and pulled all four props off the wings.
True story.
Yes, that was completely incredible. I simply refuse to believe that I saw a loop.
You didn't.
You didn't. You saw a maneuver called a Chandelle, an agressive turn.
Still impressive to see a cargo plane do that type of roll like a fighter 😂

There was never a loop or a roll, just a camera turned sideways.
@@anbikow of course it was, you doughnut!

Clickbait not a loop at all
DSMX FPV horizontal loop
still not bad
Barrelroll
@@kopsone3898 not a barrel roll either
Horizontal loop! Nice name for a 360° turn haha!
Don't worry passengers, pilot just need to put some eye-drops in his eyes..
When is a Loop NOT a Loop, when it’s a Chandelle and the camera makes it look like a loop !
да, Вы правы. ПЕТЛИ нет ! Бочку сделает.
So where was the loop? All I saw was a plane turning sharply to the right over the cameraman
Lee Taylor agreed
That's exactly what happened. Either clickbait or the video poster has a bad sense of orientation.
@@ArchangelExile Or doesn't know what a loop is.
So it's not a loop, what are you going to do about it?
Welcome to UK tabloids
Even a wingover is risky at low altitude.
But still not a loop.
It is not even a wingover, merely a steep turn.

That was NOT a loop, it was some kind of strange barrel roll.
Barrel roll not like that
No, it wasn't even a barrel roll. The pilot executed a high performance tight turn, but because of the camera angle, it looks like a loop or roll.
PRECISELY!
A CUBAN 8/ WINGOVER...
Sort of....

Its fake news to trick people to watch it.
it's called split s manouver combined with immelman turn..
Plane: banks
Every non-avgeek: OMG WHAT A LOOP
Pilot 1: Hey it's not an F-22 raptor.
Pilot 2: Oops mah bad.
Incredible airplane, incredible takeoff, hell even incredible scenery, what else am I missing 🤔.
A loop?!
Paul Noble II the loopy dy doopy
The loop.
Guy almost drops phone while filming and barely catches it.
*Sun: incredible loop pulled off by Airbus*
Yeah he botched that. I always loop my Airbus with perfection to avoid irritating TH-cam commenters.
😂👍
😄😄😄 yeah i know right
Camera: Are you doing a loop?
A400M: Yes
they did with empty load and just extreme bank angle instead of loop, but still great! for cargo airplane
I went to the comments because I was sure this was clickbait.
So it's not a loop, what are you going to do about it?
@@repentandknowjesus8674 dislike this trash
Apparently someone doesn't know what a loop is, and no pilot will exceed the operation limits of that aircraft.
Jimmy. Many pilots have done this without an issue. Its not going last there limit
@@MrGamingBobo there are different operational limits for aircrafts. Even if you're not going past the structural limit (where things start ripping off the bird) going past things like elastic limits makes failure more likely for future for future flights and require inspections with possible replacements.
If it is rated industrial, and I am sure it is, some aerobatics are permitted. One guy does a show with a twin otter, for example. But I'm not sure about a true loop, which this was not. I don't know what Ne is here, but as a heavy, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to get to.
this is a loop 1:38
@@buckyrov not a loop.... wingover
Hey its clickbait but you have to admit, she's a big girl but she can dance.
Sounds like my ex wife
I showed this to my Flight Instructor and he slapped me hard
Great video and great flying! It wasn't really a loop, a bit of a modified barrel roll/loop blend.
I find the A-400M very Super! I'am from Germany and we also have the A-400M in Service at Air Transport Wing 62 at Wunstorf near Hannover. At the RAF is the A-400M based at RAF Brize Norton. Greetings from Germany!
Patrick Thape They are a pain flying low over Neustadt am Rubenberg but still quieter than the Transall, watched the low parachute drops over the Moore.
@@allanadam4553 I saw that at the Airshow at June the 9th at Wunstorf Airbase This Year. Also Together with the Noratlas and the C-160 Transall, And the Solo Display from the Eurofighter Typhoon from the Tactical Airforce Wing 71 Richthofen at Wittmund Airbase, Tornado from Tactical Airforce Wing 51 Immelmann at Schleswig - Jagel in Northern Germany and Many more in the Static Display Area on the Ground.
Not a loop but still pretty cool. These planes can do some great maneuvers when there's no cargo and minimal fuel onboard.
That was so darn good for a cargo plane even a sharp bank!
The sun. Journalistic accuracy at its best 🤣🤣🤣
The crew flying that giant dragon deserves some major credit !
Tie down the “cargo!”🤭

No, it wasn't a loop. It was an Immelman maneuver.

Air crew was called earlier that day to have two wheelbarrows at the airplane before the pilot and co-pilot arrived. They didn't understand why until the pilots arrived. They were amazed as the pilots unzipped the bottom half of their flight suits and rolled their balls into the wheelbarrows and commenced wheeling them into the cockpit.
INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE !!!
Not a loop, but impressive maneuvering for a big aircraft. Just wondering how close to tip stall it gets.
It is a wing over manoeuvre with a 180 degree change of direction. The very impressive bit is that the aircraft goes fully inverted at the top of the wing over!
The aicraft did no such thing! It was filmed from directly underneat. All manouvering was mostly horizontal.
@@brunobarata6884 Thank you for your helpful reply. I’d be interested to know though what manouevre you thought the aircraft flew! I will stand corrected though as I got a bit sloppy in my analysis. I have flown many thousands of wingovers in the last 24 years and can perform with ease a huge variety of them. I started in 1999 with wingovers to 90 degree bank angle and 180 degree course change. Then moved on to the classic military 135 degree bank angle and 90 degree change of course. You attack partially inverted at a target off one of your wingtips. I can also perform 180 degree and 225 degree bank angle (change) as I wish. This Airbus is virtually directly head on at 1:25-1:30. 1:36 it pitches into steep climb. 1:42 it rolls. 1:48 now moving right to left and fully inverted. 2:01 almost left to right now. I’d guess a total course change of about 250 degrees. So I was wrong the course change is close to 270 degrees not 180 degrees. I assumed too much and observed rather lazily. I still think an A400M inverted is impressive though. By the way although the pitching up into climb at 1:36 pulls several G’s the rest is essentially a zero G manoeuvre. Less stress than a barrel roll which has been done in a Boeing 747 Jumbo.
to all those saying that it was not a loop: that manoeuvre identifies as a loop, so try and be more inclusive
Incredible marvellous loops, this pilot is a master of the airflight!
I saw the loop once I had rotated my phone around.
So it's not a loop, what are you going to do about it?
"We regret that we will not be serving food and drinks during this portion of the flight. "Thank you in advance for understanding."
You've taken me for a loop with this clickbait
Heyooo
So it's not a loop, what are you going to do about it?
Unglaublich wie leistungsstark der A400 M ist. Tolles Ding!!!
*My friends trying to deliver their cargo in GTA
Me with the cargo:
They'd only just served the in-flight meals. They were still picking Vegan Tofu Casserole out of the air conditioning system three weeks later.
I don’t know what that was, a half Immelmann or what.
My sentiments exactly. A TRANSPORT CATEGORY AIRPLANE is not stressed for full loops. This half Immelman/roll is pretty impressive though.
Definitely a kickflip
Well it was just a turn. No loop or any other aerobatics
Technicians: * confused screaming *
Imho, Actually, in the video it’s not a loop but a combat turn, with a bank of about 90 degrees.
im having flashbacks..
"BANK ANGLE! BANK ANGLE!"
"PULL UP! PULL UP!"
"STALL!"
"SYSTEMS DAMAGED!"
The bayonet in the front is used to spear enemy airplanes!
That manouver is not a loop! It's a 360 degree steep turn, nothing else!
The takeoff of these big boys are impressive
Strange loop - looked just like a wingover to me.
Larry Jeram-Croft that’s called a fat boy loop. It’s too chubby to do a full loop so it rolls into the loop instead of pulling.
Airbus never said it was a Loop
So it's not a loop, what are you going to do about it?
Waaaw, what a beautiful looping of the camera, very impressive... 🤣🤣🤣
I've thought that Airbus was a multi-national company that formed via merger to compete against Boeing for modern jetliner production. To learn that there is any propeller-driven Airbus craft actually is a surprise.
Bob, you’re an imposter, my granny knows that ain’t no loop.
She was telling over dinner last night, in bed, that she thought it might have been after all, she wasn't sure.
That wasn't a loop -- it was a wingover. To see a real loop watch the C1330 at Farnborough.
@ElectroSalvo Nope..Just a turn, your getting cheated by the camera-angle.
Airbus didn't claim it was a Loop
the guy that posted this video did
@@Shelby-Ecoboost-Raptor-550hp Yep :-)
So it's not a loop, what are you going to do about it?
That was a weird optical illusion, but if you look at s actually just a 90 degree banking (still impressive)
Pilot was good, cameraman was even better, that angle could fool some people in believing the plane did a loop
i was about to say a plane that big can not fly in propellors great vid btw
or do they???
Why don't you keep the horizon in your camera lens when filming the fake loop.
They didn't film at it all, they've just taken/paid for someone else's video, then added loop in the title.
Totally unnecessary....but wonderfully watchable!
Split S and just as impressive to me for this plane to do that...
I'd feel safer flying to Hawaii in an A400M than any 757 or whatever they're currently using.
Like from vietnam🇻🇳👍
I came here to see a loop. I even watched it stood on my head. Can't see a loop. Just the fruit loops that think there was a loop.
So it's not a loop, what are you going to do about it?
Yes it is not a loop but still impressive
Somebody needs to tell the pilot he is not on a single engine turboprop acrobatic show
Oh bore off mate, it's an airshow to show off the capabilities of the aircrew and the aircraft itself. Both of which are always impressive to see an aircraft of this size put through it's paces like that.
It's called a wing over.
So it's not a loop, what are you going to do about it?
But here in North Carolina we like to respect wildlife back flip!
and then they tell you that fighter jet maneuvers are impossible in planes like this

Brilliant plane...I'm proud to work on it
That was a sharp bank, made to look like a loop using the camara.
0:21 That is the most dangerous maneuver aerodynamically if it went further in incline.
Albert Heistkein agreed. I swear that looked like a near stall and loss of control. Scary.
Can hear the disappointment from the crowd. They came to the airshow expecting a crash from a showoff pilot.
people complaining it wasnt a loop, lets see you trying it then
Absolutely amazing 👏
Isso não é um loop.... ele apenas curvou por cima do cinegrafista, o que deu esse efeito. NUNCA que uma aeronave desse porte daria um loop nessa altitude!
Being in "The Sun" it was bound to be BS.
They still got a view out of you Dave.
This maneuver is an Immelmann, not a loop. It was developed as a WWI fighter tactic my Max Immelmann.
Hi from 2021. Still waiting for that loop you promised me. The two WING-OVERS were cool, but yeah, running out of patience now, so please hurry up and hit me with that loop.
Whatever you want to call this manoeuvre, roll, wing over, half loop, it was very still impressive.
That's called a "wingover" in the real world, not a loop.
So it's not a loop, what are you going to do about it?
The noise of that amazing cargo plane is absolutely incredible sounds exactly like an Extra 300 when doing the loops.
