Its not the fuel tanks its being conservative on 1st flight! Yep this type of plane needs a very high AoA for landing which is why concorde had the swing nose.

The wingman's initial turn around was crazy. I know all in a day's work for these hot shots, but still....

[@3MinutesofAviation]

Awesome capture! May I feature this landing in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. Cheers!

[@A-Qua-Man]

Yes of course!

[@ptolemythespacenerd]

I reckon the flight was just short for this one because they wanted to initially just test the systems. Hopefully we see some longer flights soon. Great footage!!

[@FrederickRiedel]

Amazing video! Thanks for sharing!

[@A-Qua-Man]

Thanks for watching!

[@ninethetwotailedfox]

This is awesome!!

[@thickdickwad7736]

Great video. So much better than the official Boom video

[@A-Qua-Man]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bryanlallen]

I agree. Boom needs to hire a video crew that understands and appreciates aircraft testing; right now they appear to have a film crew that comes from “social-influencer” land and who absolutely LOVES jump-cuts and glaring/blaring audio!

[@hyun1141]

@@bryanlallen I honestly think they just choose to direct their focus on getting shit done. The amount of heated skepticism on the internet lately is immense, and probably for good reason because so many "technology demonstration" videos in recent years have been outed as complete nonsense.

very cool

[@A-Qua-Man]

It was, it was a fun day

[@JDMSE3P]

Maybe the high angle of attack was because the pilot is judging his landing using the plane’s camera? It doesn’t have the traditional canopy like most planes. You need cameras to see in front of the nose.

[@tedsmith6137]

Delta's require, and prefer, a high A of A. at low speed.

[@DanRibar]

nice job guys

[@nipponhouseplayer]

a few notches to the Oh hell, high pitch , and power and a brisky decent!😅😅😅 Concorde landing (yes) Its Perfect!

[@wayneschenk5512]

All under control.

[@kristensorensen2219]

Delta wing aircraft require a high angle of attack on approach. That is why Concord had the droop nose. Looked normal to me!🎉

[@kristensorensen2219]

It is refreshing to listen to informed experts comments; but instead we got the dude.🤔🤷🤣

[@chadnga8]

Great to see! Btw... China Airlines doesn't have any A380s.... it's China Southern I believe.

[@A-Qua-Man]

Yes, you are right

[@anaestereo810]

Right place right time Aquaman! So these plane is 1/3 of the real thing, ain't?

[@sb859]

"So small and so fast." I guess she was disappointed...

[@fredferd965]

It's a delta wing. That's how they do it.

[@klamar123]

Easily one of the best MiG-28 videos on YT.

[@ur_a_buS]
