A YouTube clip posted by Topfelya captures two aviation heavyweights departing London Gatwick, starting with Virgin Atlantic’s retired Boeing 747 – the onetime Queen of the Skies – taxiing into a clean head-on takeoff shot. Right after, an Emirates Airbus A380 repeats the same move, its full-length double deck and huge 260-foot wingspan filling much […]
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, […]
This Boeing 737 MAX 10 left spectators completely stunned during an airshow, and we don’t blame them. The giant plane somehow, and kinda poetically, pulled off an almost-vertical takeoff. The aircraft, launched in 2021, is the most powerful MAX variant – and is powered by a pair of LEAP-1B engines. Check out the feat, captured […]
The Boeing 747 was experiencing major crosswinds as it landed at Gatwick
The flying bicycle flew over a distance of over 11 miles
In a bid to see whether ChatGPT can become a pilot, this man put it to the test in an Airbus A320 simulator after telling it that ‘both pilots are missing.’ Becoming a pilot is no easy feat. It costs thousands of dollars to train and takes endless hours of patience and expertise. But can […]
The SR-71 Blackbird could fly at speeds of up to Mach 3
Do you find it cute or cringe?
That is one expensive parking spot

A futuristic new aircraft is taking shape in West Virginia, and it looks straight out of a sci-fi movie. Its sharp angles and polygon-like curves make it stand out like no other. But the real plot twist isn’t the shape engineers gave it; it’s what they’re trying to take away from it entirely. And if […]
It’s purely an accounting advantage
It went off on a month-long tour
Despite having all the technology in the world to play with, the NASA WB-57 is a 1950s aircraft that is still used in crucial operations for the leading aeronautics agency, and one was spotted in California. NASA has explored more of our galaxy than any other institution on Earth. With rockets, drones, satellites, and supersonic […]
A pilot flying this Airbus A380 decided to launch into an impressively short takeoff. And he did so by utilising a very narrow runway at the 2014 Farnborough Air Show. The extremely skilled and impressive feat was captured by the Topfelya YouTube channel. And the video captures a near-vertical view of this aircraft performing the […]
