Is just as impressive, if not moreso for that size aircraft. Or comparing like aircraft, A350 can climb just as steep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

An aircraft of that size would not be able to takeoff near vertical without stalling and falling back to the ground. For those demonstration flights, the planes are completely empty, therefor lighter than normal use which allows an increased climb angle around 30%, when typically airlines climb between 10-20% at full load.

I was doing a little reading about this and the pilot did what's called a "zoom climb". Basically he increased his ground speed to much more than is required for take-off, then quickly converted that additional speed to altitude. As soon as the speed dropped to a certain point he leveled off with what I'm sure must have been some balls in stomach negative G's. eidolonFIRE and hxtr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given a choice between flying an Airbus and a Boeing aircraft, based on those I've been on widebody wise (747, 757, 767, 777 and A330, A340, A380) I'll take an Airbus any day, although all the Boeing aircraft are great as well. I have upcoming flights booked on the 787 as well as the 747-800 in the next few months, so I'll be able to see firsthand how great the new Boeing lineup is. Hopefully in 2 years time I'll also have the A350 experience. And I stand corrected on my comment about climb angle, I completely forgot about standard combat take-off procedures, which is sad considering I control combat aircraft at work. However, like little old man said, there comes a point where the aircraft will fall out of the sky if they maintain that angle as lift is no longer generated.
