El avión Airbus Military A400M ha completado una serie de difíciles pruebas para determinar la velocidad mínima a la que puede despegar el avión, conocida por las siglas en inglés VMU. Durante las pruebas, realizadas en Istres (Francia), el morro del avión se elevó hasta que el 'tope' especial que se había instalado en la parte inferior trasera del fuselaje de color rojo golpeó el suelo en el ángulo máximo de hasta de 13 º. En la foto de la izquierda cerca se pueden ver chispas que se desprenden de parachoques, al arrastrarse por la pista. / Foto: Airbus Military
The Airbus Military A400M has completed a challenging series of tests to determine the lowest speed at which it can take-off – known as minimum unstick speed or Vmu. During the tests, performed at Istres in France, the aircraft’s nose was raised until a special ‘bumper’ fitted to the rear fuselage struck the ground at the maximum pitch-up angle of 13º. In the close-up photo sparks can be seen flying from the bumper as it drags on the runway.
