Vidéo impressionnante d'un A400M de l' @Armee_de_lair effectuant un posé sur une route suédoise lors d'un exercice militaire.
On notera que la route n'est guère plus large qu'une départementale française. En cas de guerre, cela signifie que l'A400M - piloté par un équipage compétent - pourrait opérer de pratiquement n'importe où sur le continent européen, même en cas de neutralisation temporaire des bases aériennes.

The #A350-1000ULR is just back from its longest flight ever from Melbourne 🇦🇺 to Toulouse 🇫🇷! That’s a 12,460NM (23,075.92 km) hop 🦘 in 24 hours 24 minutes!
And for the crew, that meant flying from winter to summer, crossing 2 oceans, 3 continents, and seeing 2 sunrises + 2 sunsets... all in a single flight!

Allied forces strengthened multi-domain targeting during an Allied Air Command-led training activity over NATO's eastern flank.
Aircraft from 🇩🇰 🇳🇱 🇫🇷 🇬🇧, supported by tankers from 🇫🇷 🇹🇷 and the Multinational MRTT Unit, worked alongside land, maritime and ISR assets to practise the Find, Fix, Track and Target (F2T2) process in a contested environment.

Comme beaucoup de gens, j’ai des proches touchés tragiquement par les incendies en Gironde 😢. Mes pensées vont à tous ceux qui ont tout perdu, et tout mon soutien et mon respect immense 🫡 à ceux qui combattent ces monstres de flammes. Ici une vue depuis un Canadair.
The Project Sunrise @Airbus A350-1000ULR has touched down in Toulouse, France after completing a 24 hour 24 minute non-stop flight from Melbourne, Australia.
The aircraft flew northeast over the Pacific, over the US and Canada, then across the Atlantic and south over the UK to Toulouse, crossing three continents and two oceans, with two sunsets and two sunrises along the way.
History made.
After a 12,460NM (23,075.92 km) / 24 hours 24 minutes direct flight from Melbourne 🇦🇺, the #A350-1000ULR arrives home in Toulouse 🇫🇷.

The first operational deployment began in July in the Baltic region (covering Estonia, Latvia and Finland), marking the entry into service of the U030 Flexrotor under EMSA service and supporting national authorities with maritime surveillance conditions.
We’re launching a new flight-test campaign for our Wing of Tomorrow programme! Over the next 3 years, we’ll flight test full-scale wing extensions on an #A321neo to master aerodynamic efficiency for next-gen single-aisle aircraft.
Watch the future of wing design take shape.
