I saw a video of a Boeing 787 taking off vertically'vertically' at the Paris Air Show.
How is that even possible? It was to my prior knowledge that only fighter jets had the capability and maneuverability to take off vertically. Is the illusion that the 787 taking off vertically achieved by camera angles?
Be that as it may, the question has to be asked; does any commercial airliner currently in service have the ability to take off vertically?
