Insane performance within stall limits. This is the future.

That level of manoeuvrability would be impressive on a passenger jet aircraft half its size. Amazing.

wish my 'touch & goes ' were as elegant....

I suspect this performance is only possible with most seats (and hold and fuel tanks) empty!

a vid from the side would be better,, does look very steep though:o

I got halfway through the video when my Win 7 computer crashed. It now can't see the SSD C: drive so it will no longer boot up.

I hope the video wasn't a container for malware.

Hardly vertical (camera angles) but, damn, that is maneuverable.
Very, very impressive aircraft.
The way the pilot threw it around, WOW!

I wonder if it does inverted? The DC-10's did. (Probably explains why their engines dropped off.)

Max thrust is 142 000 kg and min operating weight is 138 000 so in theory it can do true vertical. HHmm 420 seats so how many brown paper bags would they need:D

keep climbing to 10K and pop the door,,
all gone!:D
