Check out this video of a Boeing 777X airplane taking off so vertically that you’ll wonder if it’s real or a figment of your imagination.
Described by Boeing as the ‘World’s fastest and most efficient twin-engine jet’, this Boeing 777X really wowed onlookers with its almost vertical take off and various tricks.
Don’t worry, though, there were no passengers aboard as it was for the 2022 Singapore Airshow, so it could fly as thrillingly as it liked.
Check out its crazy take off and smooth maneuvers in the video above.
