Passenger jets are not known for their acrobatic performance. The most critical task has always been taking off and landing, and it requires long runways and flawless coordination with traffic controllers.

But the new Boeing’s 787-9 Dreamliner is taking a giant leap in aviation that promises to change the way passengers planes perform. In this short clip, one pilot takes the aircraft for a spin and makes a near vertical takeoff, and landed in a way that looked more like that of a helicopter than an airplane. It’s truly an unbelievable sight. It’s quite the machine!
