AIRBUS A400M turboprop military transport took to the sky last Friday under the command of Cornishman Captain Ed Strongman. The Airbus A400M features the same proven fly-by-wire controls technology as the highly successful airliner family and an advanced cockpit that has evolved from that of the A380. Carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) wings and other large structures bring weight and strength advantages and cut the risk of corrosion. The wings are made at Filton. A total of 184 aircraft have so far been ordered by Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom. www.airbusmilitary.com
