Unique versatility, landing on unpaved airstrips Existing tactical airlifters can't carry outsize military and humanitarian loads, while current strategic aircraft can handle large loads but lack tactical versatility. The A400M, with its turboprop engines for better FOD protection and its 12-wheel mai...
This is in contrast to the overwhelming majority of multi-engine propeller driven aircraft where all propellers turn in the same direction. The counter-rotation is achieved by the use of a gearbox fitted to two of the engines, and only the propeller turns in the opposite direction. All four ...
Military aircraftCertificationAt an event marking the programme milestone at MTU Aero Engines' Munich facility, EPI president Simon Henley said the engine consortium was "well on track" to bring the assembly and test programme down to 30 days, from 60. The production engine will power the first...
The first production aircraft was delivered to the French Air Force in August 2013 and entered into service a year after. The A400M already has seen operational use with the French and Turkish Air Forces in Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, African Sahel Region, Mali and in the Middle...
Airbus Military is ramping up preparations for first flight of the A400M transport aircraft, including achieving power-on with the four TP400D turboprops simultaneously several days ahead of schedule. But discussions unfolding in parallel between A400M buyers over how to renegotiate the loss-making ...
EPI 是一个由 ITP、MTU Aero Engines、Rolls-Royce Deutschland 和 Safran Aircraft Engines 组成的推进联盟。 OCCAR 表示:“这项协议对行业和参与国来说都是向前迈出的重要一步,因为它解决了过去的问题,解决了当前的问题,并为未来做好了准备。”它补充道:“各方都认为这份为期五年、以服务为基础、以绩效为重点...
aircraft is it's lack of Gyro drift. Gyro Drift is the ascending and descending action of the propeller causing the airplane to turn while operating at a high power setting. The great thing about this plane's engines is that the number one and number two engine rotate in opposite ...

The comprehensive testing confirmed improved reliability of the aircraft’s systems and Europrop International’s TP400 turboprop engines under demanding conditions. The F&R trails help to reduce risk to operational crews, particularly those faced on new aircraft that enter service. ...
Equipped with datalinks, the aircraft will be able to relay key information about its engines, systems and performance in real time. The status of its fuel system will also, in the future, be relayed to Rolls-Royce's Filton site near Bristol in the UK, and to Bremen, Germany for its ca...
