#SabíasQue un helicóptero #NH90 puede viajar dentro de un #A400M.
Para embarcarlo hay que desmontar el rotor principal, dos palas del rotor de cola y retirar el estabilizador. Así proyecta capacidades el @EjercitoAire a cualquier punto del planeta.

We just handed over the keys of the 53rd German #A400M to the German Air Force! And we are not stopping here - we are continuing to unleash the potential of this incredible aircraft together with the operating air forces:
●Payload boost: Increasing the maximum payload from 37 to 40 tonnes
●A400M Mothership: Carrying and deploying up to 50 mid-size drones or up to 12 cruise missiles of the size of a Taurus
●Satellite-based landing system: Allowing A400M crews to focus even better on their missions
●Roll-on/roll-off Fire Fighter Kit: Transforming the A400M into a fire fighting aircraft able to deploy 20 tonnes of water or retardant
The A400M saga continues. Stay tuned!

Successful first demo flight: Airbus’ uncrewed Bird of Prey interceptor autonomously engages kamikaze drone with @FrankenburgTech missile.
The Airbus 'Bird of Prey' is designed to seamlessly operate within NATO's integrated air defence architecture via established command and control systems centred around Airbus’ Integrated Battle Management System (IBMS). Consequently, the counter UAS (Uncrewed Aerial System) solution Bird of Prey can be an essential, highly mobile and complementary building block of any integrated and layered air and missile defence solution.

🇫🇷🇩🇰 Un A400M Atlas français (F-RBAN) a réalisé une première mondiale au Groenland
✈️ Un atterrissages et décollages sur la banquise naturelle avec une piste improvisée d’environ 1 400 mètres seulement avec une température de -25 °C
❄️ L’avion a opéré sans skis ni JATO, en configuration standard, à vide et chargé
🏆 La performance est supérieure aux LC-130 Skibird américains spécialisés pour les pôles
💪 Cela démontre la polyvalence extrême de l'Airbus A400M et l’Armée de l’Air française
