As part of the rigorous certification process, the Boeing 777X brake test in Oklahoma shows just how extreme the gigantic plane really is.

With the most powerful aircraft engine ever made propelling it down the runway, the Boeing 777X takes some stopping.

That’s why its brake test is one of the most integral parts of its security checks, and the legendary plane manufacturer pushes its fleet to the absolute limit before allowing them to escort passengers through the air.

Watch the video above to see how the magnificent king of the skies drops to the runway and grinds to a halt in spellbinding fashion, creating a cloud of smoke that the best magicians would be proud of.
