This is the stomach-churning video showing a passenger jet in a steep vertical climb as its experienced pilots show off what the cutting-edge jet is actually capable of, unveiling the heart-pounding video which shows the Airbus A380 putting through its paces.

Footage shows this eyebrow-raising video of a Airbus A380 performing an insanely steep takeoff. The video sees the aircraft embark on an extreme and immediate ascent, at one stage appearing as though the plane was acting like a rocket. It was all for show, demonstrating the pilot’s marvelous skills as well as the new plane’s durability.

The tense footage shows the airplane rocketing into an almost vertical climb before taking one rather sharp turn “‘round the block”. The film was shot to demonstrate the capabilities of the magnificent aircraft. If you are afraid of flying, then you better not watch the clip. Although it is pretty awesome!

According to Wikipedia, the Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet airliner manufactured by European manufacturer Airbus. It is the world's largest passenger airliner, and the airports at which it operates have upgraded facilities to accommodate it. It was initially named Airbus A3XX and designed to challenge Boeing's monopoly in the large-aircraft market.

The A380 made its first flight on 27 April 2005 and entered commercial service on 25 October 2007 with Singapore Airlines.Watch the incredible takeoff and amazing maneuvers this giant plane is able to pull off. The wings are flexible, strong and help for a smoother ride!
