An analysis of the black boxes of the A400M plane which crashed in Spain has revealed that three of the aircraft's four engines failed before it ploughed into a field killing four in May, Airbus said on Wednesday.
Company officials had earlier warned of a technical bug in the units which control the engines, which were believed to have been poorly installed during final assembly.
Investigators "confirmed that engines one, two and three experienced power frozen after lift-off and did not respond to the crew's attempts to control the power setting in the normal way," the company said in a statement.
"Preliminary analyses have shown that all other aircraft systems performed normally and did not identify any other abnormalities throughout the flight."
