Ride Along in the Cockpit During a 787's Almost Vertical Takeoff

GIF

Remember that Boeing test flight for the Paris Air Show? That one where a jumbo jet took off almost vertically? Well now Boeing's put out some video from inside the cockpit and those pilots? Stone. Cold.

The video comes by way of a new(ish) YouTube feature called Choose Your View, which lets you switch between different, synced videos of one video. In this case it's an external shot, one in the cockpit, and a GoPro pointed out the window. It doesn't give you the physical effects of such a crazy takeoff but you can almost feel it.

As of right now Choose Your View videos aren't embeddable so head over to Boeing's YouTube page to check it out. In the meantime here's a killer GIF of the pilots at takeoff:
