I am confident that SP Guide Publications would continue to inform, inspire and influence.
My compliments to SP Guide Publications for informative and credible reportage on contemporary aerospace issues over the past six decades.
Airbus Defence and Space has successfully demonstrated the capability of the A400M new-generation airlifter to operate on a sand runway – the last of three unprepared types of surface on which it will be certified.
The tests using the development aircraft MSN2 took place over a three-week period in August on a specially constructed airstrip at Woodbridge, UK. A final week of tests will include operations at increasingly higher weights.
The A400M demonstrated excellent performance in taxiing manoeuvres, such as U-turns, and during take-off and landing on the 1,600-metre strip. These tests followed earlier successful results on the gravel surface at Ablitas in Spain and a grass runway at Écury in France.
