This pilot flew a Brazilian Embraer KC-390 airplane in a physics-defying display, completing a landing and coming to a stop in what looked like record time.

The aircraft touched down in a remarkably small distance during the Farnborough Airshow 2018 display, and the dramatic maneuver highlighted the KC-390’s powerful performance and tactical capabilities.

The footage from Topfelya left the crowd amazed at how quickly such a large military transport could land so quickly and slow to a stop so fast.

Check out this impressively short landing from a surprising military aircraft in the footage above.
