The first production Airbus Military A400M new generation airlifter has
made its maiden flight, marking a key milestone towards its delivery to
the French Air Force. The aircraft, known as MSN7, took off from
Seville, Spain, at 11:48 local time (GMT+1) and landed back in Seville 5
hours and 42 minutes later. Experimental Test Pilot Hugues Van Der
Stichel, who captained the flight, said after landing: “The performance
of the aircraft was as expected and we had a very smooth flight,
confirming the great handling capabilities of the aircraft. The result
of this first flight gives us full confidence for the on-time delivery
to the French Air Force”.
