On May 9th, 2015 an Airbus Group SE A400M military cargo plane crashed just outside Seville, Spain, shortly after take-off, killing four of the six test flight crew on board. Subsequent to thorough examination of events by Spanish air accident investigators, it has been confirmed by Airbus that the accident is believed to have been caused by three of the four turboprop engines power freezing as the result of the incorrect configuration of engine software. This tallies with Airbus' initial thoughts and warning issued to those who had already been supplied with the military aircraft to check on the 'Electronic Control Unit,' part of the digital system used to control the large turboprop engines. It is understood from flight data recorded that three out of four of the plane's turboprop engines became stuck at high power shortly after take-off. In a statement Airbus confirmed that the three engines "did not respond to the crew's attempts to control the power setting in the normal way."
