Am I right in thinking that the A400E is essentially powered by those four wind turbines mounted on the wing?
Hi Ryan, That is correct! the 4 wind turbines provide extra power when towing as the solar batteries fitted to the A400E wings can only provide minimal power
Those pilots are miracle workers. The big ones are charging up the little ones with a big USB cable. Pilots have to fly level and try and get the USB thingy in, then they try it upside down and then once more the right way around.
That is such a coincidence. I have the same problem with my Haawee phone. I'm sure that they have built it upside down.
Yeah but can our a380 be towed by anything to offset that?
Go on admit it the little ones are pushing the big one.
Looks to me like RAF Luton had to send the tow truck out to bring back a broken jet.
