Designed for commercial flights with over 200 passengers, the Boeing 737 MAX has no right being so versatile, but this video of a pilot performing an incredibly steep takeoff and turn shows just how incredible these jets are.
Popularised through the Ryanair fleet, the Boeing 737 MAX is renowned for being a passenger plane with an attitude, taking off like a rocket and landing ‘like a boss’.
The plane has an innate skill of being able to perform near-vertical takeoffs, making it a welcome customer at even the shortest of runways.
Flexing its muscles, one test pilot showcased just how impressive the takeoffs can be, as the video above captured an awesome demonstration at the Farnborough Airshow in 2018.
