Huge Airbus A400M does 'backflip' with full loop just after takeoff to leave people exhilarated

This video caught a huge Airbus A400M doing a ‘backflip’ with a full loop, leaving people stunned.

The A400M is a military cargo plane, but don’t be fooled – this plane is not all work and no play.

In fact, it’s capable of pulling off some amazing moves in the air.

The video, shared on YouTube by a channel called bosurgranny, showed an Airbus A400M taking off, before pulling off the move.

It looked like this plane had performed a backflip

You wouldn’t usually associate a huge plane with gravity-defying stunts or maneuvers.

But you know what they say, don’t judge a book by its cover.

Or a plane by its exterior, in this case.

The video, shared on YouTube by a channel called bosurgranny, showed an Airbus A400M taking off at the Farnborough Airshow back in 2014.

While the general public may not assume this, aviation enthusiasts know how agile the A400M can be.

So it was a delight to see it take on a ‘wingover’.

What’s a ‘wingover’?

It’s when an aircraft first makes a steep climb to gain high altitude, at which point the pilot tilts the wings to one side.

Then the pilot reverses the plane’s trajectory, making it look like the plane equivalent of a backflip.

Or to put it into car terms, it’d be a U-turn.

Viewers of the video were left stunned by this breathtaking display.

“If I did not see this with my own eyes, I’d still be saying a heavy transport cannot loop without stalling,” one viewer wrote.

“Like a freaking elephant doing ballet!” another gushed.

“400 is an absolute beast, those pilots had smiles ear to ear for sure,” a third wrote.

The general mood in the comments section was astonishment.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen such impressive stunts from an Airbus A400M

This isn’t a one-off for the heavy transport plane either, as it’s also been seen performing other maneuvers.

One undertook a particularly complicated move, while another left a crowd stunned with an ‘angle that shouldn’t be possible’.

Another A400M provided some of the most stunning views in aviation history.

This plane is clearly no one-trick pony.
