Landing A Plane On A Tiny Helipad
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 мар 2023
- Pilot Luke Czepiela lands an aeroplane on the world famous helipad on top of the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, the iconic seven-star hotel in Dubai. To land on the helipad, 27m in diameter, he completed over 650 practice landings before the attempt on top of the 56-story hotel. He needed just 20.76 meters to stop. To make the feat possible he and a team of CubCrafters engineers along with renowned American aviation engineer and aircraft builder Mike Patey made a number of modifications to the aircraft, reducing the total weight to only 425 kilograms, moving the main fuel tank to the rear of the plane to allow for more aggressive braking and adding nitrous to enhance power for Czepiela’s secondary challenge - taking off from the helipad.

Red bull is GTA in real life 😂😂
Shout-out to the crew member who controlled the drone and took that amazing shot of the takeoff. It's unreal.
Mike Patey (designer and builder of this beast of a plane) is an absolute legend. Shoulder to shoulder with aviation giants like Rutan, Kelly Johnson, Yeager, and Lindberg. Guy is incredible in the air, and the fact that he takes the time to document all his passion projects in insane detail for everyone on youtube makes him one of my personal engineering and aviation heros.
Not everyone realizes just how much SKILLS it takes to accomplish this mission. Congratulations Luke, Cub Crafters and the MP Mike Patey team!
We've seen some sketchy landings, but THIS is something else!
OK OK this is actually incredible 🤯
Bro took Red Bull gives you wings to the next level
Absolutely incredible! Awesome pilot skills but no doubt a major credit to the team as well. Bravo!
Way to go team Red Bull, Mike Patey and Luke. Absolutely unbelievable!!
We actually watched this from the hotel this morning. It was amazing. The take off was better than the video shows.
Mike Patey a great engineer and aircraft builder, pilot etc etc …. then add the Red Bull pilot … a winning combination !! Well done team, great achievement ! From Australia 🇦🇺

Having spent time in the region, the winds must have been insane. Amazing flying.
I didn't know anything about this until I saw Mike Patey's video about building the plane! Great work!
No room for error - what an incredible achievement!!
Love seeing mike on a cool project like this. What a guy.
