Footage from YouTuber Topfelya has shown an Airbus A400M bounce backwards after it performed an incredibly short landing.
The aircraft was performing at the 2016 Royal International Air Tattoo in the UK when it pulled off the landing.
This had followed a wild takeoff, with an aggressive pull-up and sharp banked turn from the runway.
It’s likely the pilot applied the brakes while using reverse thrust, but he quickly realized and corrected the situation. Leaving us with the incredible footage above!
