Airplanes
In a bid to see if the biggest planes in the world can operate without massive runways, this man modified an Airbus A330 beyond belief, starting with the most ludicrous set of speedbrakes ever. Planes are inherently designed to be as aerodynamic as possible. With the goal of burning less fuel and cutting through the […]
The Airbus A380 is a huge aircraft, and down under in Australia, you can get up close and personal with one on the road. At one airport in Sydney, there is a bridge used by airplanes that cars can pass underneath at the same time. The bridge and the Airbus that glided across it caught […]
This Airbus A350 pilot showed off their incredible skill when they had to pull off a take-off so steep it’s almost unreal. Thankfully, the aircraft comes with a pair of incredibly powerful Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines. The video showcases this pilot putting the power of these engines to extremely good use, alongside their nerves of […]
It’s bringing the flying-car era closer than ever before
Capable of getting from New York to London in an hour, supersonic planes are quickly becoming a reality again, and this wild simulation shows what it would look like to see one reaching Mach-1 over NYC. We’ve not had a public supersonic plane since the Concorde was retired. But as we close out 2025, we’re […]
Having served as the backbone of the luxury Emirates airline, the new $41 billion order of 65 Boeing 777 planes comes with a stern warning to the aircraft manufacturers to return to its ‘former glory’. Emirates and Boeing’s relationship spans decades, as the luxury Middle Eastern airline has used the 777 series for flying its […]
This Boeing 777X banked so steeply it looked like it was defying gravity. The pilot of the ground-breaking aircraft pulled off a 90-degree turn soon after leaving the ground at the Farnborough Air Show in 2022. But the gravity-defying manoeuvre was so steep that the aircraft appeared to freeze in mid-air. You can check out […]
This gold plane takes the gold medal
An Emirates Airbus A380 just landed with so much power it blasted the standing water off a rain-soaked runway as it touched down. The wheels hit, the engines spool, and the entire downpour erupts into walls of spray on both sides. Even in slow motion, you can see how effortlessly the jet forces the weather […]
This bullet-shaped aircraft doesn’t look like a normal plane, but that’s the idea. The Celera 500L is shaped like a shiny bullet because that shape cuts through the air with way less effort. And according to the early numbers it works. Otto Aviation says it uses less fuel than an SUV while flying high above […]
Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, this Airbus A350 at Manchester Airport showcased just how powerful the airplane is as it went full throttle on a short runway to take off in no time at all. As one of the most common long-haul airplanes seen in the skies, the Airbus A350 looks like it should […]
New hypersonic aircraft could enter service as soon as the early 2030s
