ALL A400M ENGINES RUN IN PREPARATION FOR FIRST FLIGHT

摘要

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.rnBut discussions unfolding in parallel between A400M buyers over how to renegotiate the loss-making development and production contract with Airbus Military are failing to advance. On Nov. 19, senior defense ministry officials for the core A400M buyers met in Berlin to map out how the program should proceed.
