This Boeing 777X banked so steeply it looked like it was defying gravity.

The pilot of the ground-breaking aircraft pulled off a 90-degree turn soon after leaving the ground at the Farnborough Air Show in 2022.

But the gravity-defying manoeuvre was so steep that the aircraft appeared to freeze in mid-air.
