My favorite aircraft, the Airbus A400M Atlas. Very noisy beasts at 30,000ft+ high, and sometimes produce contrails!!

[@ThuyTran-gc8rd]

Airbus A400Ms, those noisy bad beasts, the noise is what makes them big and bad, aaaand, my 3rd favourite aircraft

Do jet engines blow the propellers?

[@davecrupel2817]

Why do they start up at full feathering? Wouldnt they do the opposite pitch to reduce the load on a starting engine?

[@pointnozzleaway]

I was thinking the same, plus the extra load on the blade. I guess they know what they are doing

[@chris22capt]

Not need to unfeather the blade on free shaft turboprop engine

[@superskullmaster]

The condition of the blades with these engines when there is no power is feathered and as someone mentioned, the propeller is not connected to the gas generator so there is no load on the power producing part of the engine.

I like at 2:40 when the blades turn into spiders..

[@thinkingai6017]

That was pretty cool

[@cplayzstuff6907]

at 480p the propellors are matching the framerate

[@azzaro316]

propellers in flag mode : no push
