Скачать или смотреть DOESN’T NEED MUCH RUNWAY! IMPRESSIVE A400M ATLAS TACTICAL LANDING STOPPING QUICK • RAF BRIZE NORTON

Whether fighter jets or heavies, take offs seem to get all the glory but there are types of landings that are rather impressive, especially when it is a large tactical airlift aircraft such as the A400M Atlas.

This A400M Atlas based at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, shows off this very impressive landing by coming to complete stop in a very short distance. The A400M is able to land on and take-off from any short, soft and rough unprepared CBR 6 (pavement classification) airstrip under 750 m/2,500 ft, while delivering up to 25 tonnes/55,000 lb of payload and with enough fuel on board for a 930 km/500 nm return trip.

Atlas (Atlas C.1 A400M) has the ability to carry a 37-tonne payload over 2,000nm to established and remote civilian and military airfields, and short unprepared or semi-prepared strips. Capable of operating at altitudes up to 40,000ft, Atlas also offers impressive low-level capability.

It will accommodate as many as 116 fully-equipped troops; vehicles; helicopters, including a Chinook; mixed loads, including nine aircraft pallets and 54 passengers, or combinations of vehicles, pallets and personnel, up to a payload of 37 tonnes.

Loads are delivered by parachute, gravity extraction from the aircraft’s rear ramp (influenced by the cargo’s own weight), or by landing. Paratroops will be dropped from the aircraft’s dedicated paratroop doors, or from the rear ramp. The Atlas (Atlas C.1 A400M) is operated by two pilots and a Weapons Systems Operator (Crewman) (WSOp (Cmn)).

Airbus’s test crews nicknamed the A400M (Atlas C.1 A400M) ‘Grizzly’ during the pre-delivery trials phase, but the RAF has adopted a name suggested by then Chief of the Air Staff Sir Stephen Dalton and the type is officially known as ‘Atlas’, while the term ‘A400 (Atlas C.1 A400M)’ is more commonly heard in use at its RAF Brize Norton base.
