Airbus is signaling its strong commitment to its flagship military transport plane after the crash of a new A400M in Spain on Sunday that killed four and injured two on a test flight.
The brand new four-engine turboprop had just departed on its first shakedown flight after rolling out of the Airbus factory in Seville. The crew radioed they were returning to the airport after experiencing a problem. The airplane crashed near an industrial area a mile northeast of the airport at around 1 p.m. local time.
