how cool is that?

uses wing tip vortex's to divert thrust to stop the plane from stalling at very very low speed. i can only assume this means that it diverts some engine thrust onto the wings to keep the air flow moving over the wing.

That's an Su-35 or similar. It has thrust vectoring. But yes, cool vid!

heh with a name like sukhoi i guess you would know 😛!

i like the bit where he's doing a loop and toward the end yanks the stick right back....the plane comes out of it flying backwards almost! crazy!
