A production Airbus A400M turboprop military transport crashed during flight testing in Spain. This is gonna hurt Airbus, the A400M project is late, over budget, and customers have threatened to bail out of the program and buy C-130's from the US.
What's more embarrasing, preliminary inspection shows that the computer engine control system screwed up and shut off fuel to the engines for no good reason.
Aviation Week has a write up here.
