Boeing Dreamliner perform fighter jet-style stunts - VIDEO

Boeing Dreamliner perform fighter jet-style stunts - VIDEO
29.05.2020 05:47
Forget the Red Arrows, the pilots of this Boeing Dreamliner have been captured on film showing what the plane can really do in the air.

From a terrifying vertical climb after take-off to a series of dramatic turns, pilots Mike Byran and Randy Neville put one of the world's most advanced planes through its paces, proving commercial jets can do tricks too.The moves, which include a turn so tight that the plane almost seems to stand still as it banks around, imitate tricks more associated with a compact fighter jet.The spectacular footage was captured in a rehearsal for a test flight at the UK's biggest air show in Farnborough, Surrey, and has already been viewed more than a million times online.The show is an opportunity for aviation companies such as Boeing and Airbus to showcase their planes, alongside defence industry aircraft.Viewers shared their astonishment that the jet could perform such stunts belwo the video.A user called FlightChops said: Wow - it climbs like a rocket'.Paul Kidd added: 'Jeez that looks like fun (for the pilot … terrifying if you were a passenger)'And others called for yet more tricks, with spaceye challenging: 'Do a barrel roll'.Luckily there were no passengers on board for the stomach-churning flight, which also sees the plane touch down to land, before dramatically soaring straight back into the skies again.The 260ft-plane, which would normally carry around 280 passengers, was actually being put through its paces as part of a demonstration to aviation industry executives.Its super lightweight design of the plane enables the pilots to perform the stunts and in the long term will mean airlines spend a lot less on fuel, making them more environmentally sustainable.The Boeing Dreamliner aims to be more fuel efficient and also to use clever lighting within the cabin to help eliminate jetlag among passengers.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.az
