This Airbus A350 stunned onlookers at a German air show after it performed a near-vertical takeoff.

Footage captured on April 25 at the ILA airshow in Berlin shows the carbon-coloured passenger plane leaving the ground a swooping upwards to a near-vertical angle.

Airline pilots would not usually perform this stunt while passengers are on board.
