TURBOPROP BEAST! 🌀 RAF Airbus A400M Atlas ZM419 Heavy Takeoff from Malta

Propeller power at its absolute peak! 🌀🇬🇧🇲🇹 Watch the Royal Air Force (RAF) Airbus A400M Atlas C.1, registration ZM419, during a heavy departure from Malta International Airport (MLA/LMML). Captured in 2022, this aircraft (MSN 077) was performing a short transit stop while ferrying equipment and personnel from the UK to Romania. The A400M is famous for its "Down Between Engines" (DBE) propeller rotation, where the two engines on each wing turn in opposite directions to improve lift and stability. Watch from 00:00 as it utilizes the full length of Runway 31, and experience the distinct, deep thrum of the Europrop TP400-D6 engines as it rotates at 00:25.
