This massive Airbus A400M took off almost vertically at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) airshow in the UK.
This military aircraft is gigantic and very heavy, but it also has four turboprops that allow it to take off almost vertically, which is why it doesn’t really need a long runway.
You have to watch it in the video shared by TopFelya – believe it because it’s surreal.
Check it out in the video above.
