Space and aviation post


The article i read was about the new A40oM it is a new military cargo plane that is big enough to hold the bulkiest military tanks and helicopters. The reason this is so cool is because partly of the engines these engines can take that craft to jet like speeds and altitude while hauling LOADS of cargo. Another reason is because what it is made of, its made partly of carbon-fiber composite this makes it so it can haul a lot more because the metal isn't weighing it down and so it can land on small strips. Nothing is happening to it in 2010 but in 2013 the company will make its first deliveries to a French buyer. But, six months ago they had a huge software glitch on its engines and some of the Ukrainian buyers were going to cancel their orders.
