There’s something weirdly mesmerizing about this slow-motion footage that shows exactly how landing gear works on Airbus and Boeing airplanes.

Seeing various aircraft like a Boeing 787 Dreamliner or a Emirates Airbus A380 fly in slow motion is so much fun to watch.

The landing gear extends out just before the plane lands, and it seems surprising that wheels that small can safely support the weight of a full passenger jet, but in the Topfelya footage, they make it look incredibly easy.

You won’t be able to pull yourself away from this weirdly mesmerizing footage, check it out above again, and again…and again.
