Very impressive for a civilian airliner!

The last time I saw an aircraft do that it was a Lightning!

(Mind the Lightning could keep going straight up until <Classified> ;) )

How many others can do that?

:cool:

Boeing haven't released rates of climb or the angle at which it was climbing, but apparently its not as vertical as it looks. Its all to do with the camera angles. Still, its pretty agile for an airliner.

I'd expect a few of them can do given the right ground speed and conditions on take off, also would have no passengers, luggage, cargo so easier to pitch up fast and gain altitude and throw it about in the air

Is just you don't see this type of flying done much in commercial airliners, autopilot would have been off and manual flying in this video
 
Colin furze is brilliant

Just watching him fit a 600cc bike engine to a TUC TUC and weaponise it


He has great engineering skills
