About the Airbus A400M Atlas
A new-generation European military transport, recognisable by its counter-rotating propellers — always a notable sighting on the map. Because military aircraft like this often fly without full ADS-B, FlyItalyADSB reconstructs their position through multilateration (MLAT) — the only such service active in Italy.
