Airbus A400 Makes First Flight

The new military Airbus A400M transport plane takes off during its exhibition flight at Seville, Spain, Friday, Dec. 11, 2009. The A400M military transport plane that has been causing Airbus and European defense ministers budgetary and logistical headaches finally took to the skies for its inaugural flight. The A400M program was launched six years ago with an order for 180 planes from seven governments:Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain and Turkey, but the project is running at least three years behind schedule.
