This train is traveling at 120 km per hour. And I'm going to attempt something that's never been done before. Landing a plane and taking off from a moving train. Not only will my landing zone be moving at 120 km/h, but I only have the back container of the train to land on. I have very little room for error. Because no one has attempted this before, we first need to make sure the train carriage is big enough to land on. Oh, but this looks much tighter from here. Okay. Tell me the number. 158. only. Are you sure? Yes. It's tight. So, this is where I'm supposed to put the tires. And this will give us like a safety margin about 50 cm per side.

This is my safety margin. So successful landing and takeoff for me will be three wheels at the same time touching down and then we accelerating before the end of the platform to be able. This is going to be for me mission accomplished. There are three main challenges when it comes to landing on the train. Turbulence, speed, and the fact that I will be landing completely blind. I'm going to basically be sitting like this with the wings here and I'm going to be looking up like this. So I see only sky, blue sky in front of me. I have this. So I'm not going to see anything that is underneath these parts of the place. So basically the whole fuselage. Before I attempt to land on the train, I need to

make sure that the blind landing is even possible. We're here today to test with Remats. They brought one of their hyper cars. The plan is the Neera R will start accelerating to 120 km/h as I approach and match the speed. I will then attempt to hover over it for at least 3 seconds. This is going to simulate what we expect to do over the train. This rematch is the fastest reversing car in the world. It will be traveling in reverse the entire time so that the rear wing will hopefully simulate similar turbulence to what I will experience over the train.

Darius is on approach. Okay. Terminate. Reset for the second attempt. Go. Thank you guys. That was harder than I expected. But let's get ready for the train. So these are the 2 km I have to do the landing and the takeoff. I need to do everything inside these 2 km. And at the end there are trees that I absolutely cannot go through with my plane. So it's going to give me just few seconds to do the whole thing. To get an idea of the speed, I'm going to literally go on top of the train and travel at 120 km/h and see what it feels like. Rake release. Train is moving. And this speed's 120. It's crazy windy. Woohoo. home. That was workout.

Yeah. Now that I experienced how it is to stay on this train at 120 km/h, I know that is definitely not going to be easy. One of the biggest challenges I will face is turbulence on the top of the container where I'm going to land, which means the plane will move left, right, up, down in an unexpected way up to 4 m with absolutely no idea of if I'm going to be able to cope with it. The layer of air above the container also forces me to lower my air speed to 87 km/h. This is right on the limit. Any slower and my plane won't have enough speed to stay abboard. I'm feeling very scared. I know it's going to be difficult, but we did calculation. We did homework. We did training. But you

never know on the war first if this is going to be all correct or if this going to be different. It's finally the day. Today we want to have two flights. You want to have a training flight first and then the second flight will be Darius's attempt to land on the moving train. So I'm going to in this first flight check the speed, turbulence, wind condition. See how it feels to be in proximity with the container and the train itself. One of the things I worry about for this flight is the speed. As I mentioned, when I'm above the container, I'll have to fly so slow that my plane might not stay airborne. 2 m over the train, the air is slowed down by the friction. If this blue line is 65 knots, which is 120 km/ hour, the

speed of the train, 51, green line is the standard stall speed of this airplane. Which means below 51, this airplane is not an airplane. It's just a piece of cardboard. I'm going to have to operate below this speed. And 45 is what we managed to get to as a new stone speed. Reducing the weight of the plane to the minimum. Even myself, I had to lose 5 kilos. And what I hope is that we can stay inside this range and we still control the plane efficiently in that crazy and wild turbulence. Gas lock is off. Oh, it's off. Yes. Okay. Dario is approaching for a speed check flight. I can't see any of the train from here.

I'm completely blind. just scared me the amount of turbulence that I will encounter when I will be very low on the surface. Okay, I'm going to go for a landing on this next one. That turbulence is extremely strong. Heading back to the hangar. You were higher than on the first attempt. No way. Really? Higher. You were just not much, but it was more than 2 m. But I was over it. In the other one, I was beside this time. You were over it. Right. But higher. Yeah.

Okay. Brutal. 47 knots. So, it's just two knots margin on my stall speed. And the turbulence was wild. It's really, really challenging. I'm really not sure if it's going to work, but I'm going to do my best. And now, at the moment, going to try and see if I can land the takeoff. Well, mission accomplished. Woohoo! INCREDIBLE. Thank you everyone. Thank you. Thank you very much. This was so difficult and so cool. Thank you so much everyone.
