The Royal Air Force has officially taken delivery of the first of the 22 Airbus A400M Atlas airlifter with the aircraft landing at the Brize Norton airbase Monday.

“The MoD can confirm that the UK’s first A400M aircraft has been delivered to RAF Brize Norton to complete its acceptance process with Airbus UK, who are providing support for the UK fleet. The aircraft is being used to prepare the RAF’s flight crew training,” said an RAF spokesman.

Britain joins France and Turkey as operators of the A400M. Next in line to receive its first aircraft is Germany.Earlier in September 2014 the RAF Airbus A400M had its first maiden flight.

RAF Tornado Brimstone missile strike against an ISIS vehicle

Tornado GR4s conducted an armed reconnaissance patrol over western and northern Iraq this weekend. In the western desert, they were tasked to strike an ISIL communications vehicle, which Coalition forces had previously identified. A single Brimstone missile was used to conduct an attack.

British Tornado fighter jet with 3D-printed parts completes flight

A Tornado fighter jet fitted with metal components created on a 3D printer undertook a successful test flight in Britain last month, defence company BAE Systems said Sunday.The plane was equipped with a 3D-printed protective cover for the cockpit radio, a protective guard in the landing gear and support struts on the air intake door, the British firm said.

The announcement follows NASA's successful test of a 3D-printed rocket engine component in August last year, as aerospace companies seek cheaper and quicker ways to manufacture engineering parts."You are suddenly not fixed in terms of where you have to manufacture these things," said Mike Murray, Head of Airframe Integration at BAE Systems, announcing the successful test flight at the firm's airfield in Warton, northwest England.

"You can manufacture the products and whatever base you want, providing you can get a machine there, which means you can also start to support other platforms such as ships and aircraft carriers."And if it's feasible to get machines out on the front line, it also gives improved capability where we wouldn't traditionally have any manufacturing support."BAE said some of the parts -- produced at a Royal Air Force base in eastern England -- cost less than £100 ($165, 120 euros) to manufacture, and had the potential to save hundreds of thousands of pounds every year, without giving details.
