An-12 vs. Airbus A400 – Landing Beauty Competition

Modern large aircraft turbofan. Of course, most of them do not have jet power units. But many still do not understand this. No propeller - then a jet, how else can it fly with strange "barrels" under the wing? But propeller models are still liked - these are classic aircraft. Therefore, modern machines of this type attract increased attention. They are real - with propellers. And if the latter are four, like the Soviet An-12 or the foreign Airbus A400 ... So the author of the channel "OKandrew Planespotting Channel" decided to compare both aircraft, or rather, how they land.

Of course, it is not entirely correct to compare these two models. The An-12, for example, was produced only in the USSR. It made its first flight back in 1957. The model is successful - it is still in operation. But production ended in 1973. The Airbus A400 is a modern model. It made its first flight in 2009. It is strange, but the old Soviet plane looks more harmonious. The Airbus A400 is an obvious "fat man". And who lands better - you can see in the video. Of course, everything depends on the professionalism of the pilots. Some have talent - they are able to land any equipment so that passengers will not notice.
