It’s no secret that both the Boeing 787 and Boeing 737 MAX are a pair of vast and powerful aircraft, but when the pilots go head-to-head, new levels of skills are unleashed.
At an airshow in the UK, both planes were put to the test to figure out which airplane had the best vertical take-off, all captured by Topfelya.
One after the other, the Boeing 787 and Boeing 737 MAX took to the runway, and both shot up into the sky, creating an optical illusion.
The Boeing jets put on an impressive performance, and with only one being able to take the crown, we’ll leave it up to you to decide your winner.
