Red Bull AirRace - Matt Hall's Amazing Recovery

[m93sek]

everone was ok - glad to hear that he didnt hurt the water.....

[bronxbombers787]

WHAT A FUCKING BEAST!

[FidelusEternum]

Big boys. Big toys.

Matt Hall, you are an inspiration.

[rockieshawk]

For those that know nothing about stalling of a wing or understand the basic concept of lift or what happens during a stall stfu. 1 a stall is recoverable 2 how the f... Did pilot Anthony be a pilot which he isn't most likely and 3 why are you posting on shi" you don't understand.

[edgarpinheiro]

cagou o cockpit..

[thunderb68]

That was CLOSE!!!



[tailwhip3601]

thats my friends step dad  :0

[cavaderblood]

Haha that girl in the womans arms is like, "what the hell?"

[CaseyBoy13]

Of course military training would have helped. Not sure what his military background is but if he was a fighter jet pilot then he has plenty of low level flying experience and to top it off they fly near the speed of sound so your reaction time has to be superb for one mistake and you fly right in the the ground or a mountain.

[pilotanthony]

He ddnt stall he jus over turned

[Scorpac]

@pilotanthony it was a stall...

[pilotanthony]

@Scorpac if it was a stall how did he get back into the air again?

[Scorpac]

@pilotanthony a stall doesnt always go until a crash, as you can see he is flying this circle he begins slightly to stall but his reflexes managed to recover the plane before totally losing control

[pilotanthony]

@Scorpac hmmm i still dnt think it was a stall, a stall means you dont have enough air going over the top of the wing, therefore the plane will not fly he may have been close to stalling but yeah i think he over turned

[Scorpac]

@pilotanthony could be, but i would say he pulled to hard and the wing lost airflow. when he stopped the turn the wing got airflow again and he could recover the plane.. all that in miliseconds.

[cavaderblood]

@pilotanthony it simple words, when the wings are sideways there's no airflow to stay up, just to turn. If you notice, they never go over 90 degrees. He did (he explains why in this video too) and had no airflow to stay upright. when he turned it horizontal he hit the water but he had JUUUUST enough speed and power to push through and up and away. Crazy reflexes!

[Insomniac535]

@cavaderblood

Not exactly. When flying knife edge (~90* bank), the pilot uses rudder to pitch the aircraft up, and uses the thrust of the prop (and the angle of attack of the body) to produce at least some lift.. That's not what happened here. In his own words, his actions in the cockpit caused him to pull back on the stick a bit too hard, putting the aircraft into a high-speed stall (with high angles of attack, aircraft can stall even with sufficient flying speed). He was extremely lucky.

[hauffal]

Stall no way, over rotate in the roll yes!

[THEROLLINNGDICE99]

Could only be an Australian :) haha

[Rte57]

Awesome!

[CommentClown]

"Military training." What a joke. He's a good pilot with good reflexes, and...

He was friggin' lucky. I'm pretty sure that the military didn't teach him how to bounce an aerobatic plane off of the water.

[meinshnake]

@CommentClown no but top gun may have... anyone with his experience or hours has atleast thought about what they would do in that situation.

[CommentClown]

@meinshnake

I think that you've been watching too many movies!

I'm sticking with the argument of good pilot and good reflexes.

[meinshnake]

@CommentClown haha.... yeah, I've been a pilot for 10 years now, you learn very quickly that flying is a perishable skill, if you don't use it, you lose it, and someone who is logging 2-3 hours a day (matt hall) on average will be a very proficient pilot... how do you think that pilot landed the jet on the hudson, he thought about the possibility every time he saw the river, I think we are both arguing the same thing though. when I said hours and experience I meant as a pilot.

[meinshnake]

@CommentClown He was trained at top gun, and was offered a chance to lead an australian "top gun" but left to do red bull air races...

and yes top gun is real, The special forces of the airforce.

and didn't you know "bouncing an aerobatic plane off of the water" was a basic aerobatic manouver... he just got carried away :-)

[CommentClown]

@meinshnake

Catching a wing on the water is not a training routine anywhere.

I'm not a pilot, but I'm a pretentious asshole, and from what I can tell, that qualifies me 90%.

[meinshnake]

@CommentClown you can take it down a notch... we are all on here to have fun, and I never said it was training... if you mean my last sentence, I thought the smiley made it a fairly obvious joke... I was just stating a FACT that the more experience, and training the quicker you are respond to life or death situations... If I put the best drag racer (incredibly fast reaction time), or even a hockey goalie, in a stall at 4000' in a plane, which we do train for, we could ride it into the ground...

[meinshnake]

@CommentClown were here to watch good footage you can take it down a level.... Put it this way, If I were to put a hockey goalie (very fast reaction tine/ reflexes) in a stall at 4500' we could ride it into the ground... my training allows me to recover from that stall (no lift being generated) within 50 feet on a bad day, and without losing any altitude weather dependent, If I were to be put in a g-stall I would be screwed, with his training matt was fine. That is all I have to say.

[CommentClown]

@meinshnake

Does your keyboard have a stuttering problem, a stuttering problem, or are you mentally ill? You're posting dual posts with almost the same points.

In any case, I've read them all and it seems that you've got a long-winded way of saying:

He's a good pilot and good reflexes. So, then why the fuck are you arguing with me?

[omkar119db]

@CommentClown looks like you know a lot about military and non military training huh ?

no. military didnt train him to bounce his rxs off th water., nor did his "non-military aerobatic school"

to start off with, the problem wasnt the, it was the excessive g stall. the water was just an added danger

i bet you are one of those youtubers who can comment and hide behind the "internet wall"

btw, im not hiding behind any wall.

[omkar119db]

@CommentClown im a pilot, inbox me later il give you my details. and come stop by my bird, and lets go pull 2 G's for starters, compared to the 11 matt hall was pulling, and i wanna see you shit bricks :)

[omkar119db]

@CommentClown oh look at the irony

i didnt see your name, commentclown

jackass

[iancucornel]

he needs new pants

[ValoareaUneiVieti]

@iancucornel he dosent need new pants dont worry their blood is cold as ice, and they are verry good pilots.

[danieldeibler]

0:17 Did they add a water splash sound effect? lol

[2strokeRider4Life]

@danieldeibler lololol i heard it it sounded like the old underwaterscreen saver lmao

[ValoareaUneiVieti]

@danieldeibler the plane hit the wather dude, have u evere been to an air show, that airplane was fling somewhere betwen 200 to 300-400 Kmph

[danieldeibler]

@ValoareaUneiVieti I think you replied to the wrong comment. Mine was about the trickling water sound at 0:17

[tehtud2008]

How much does one of these planes cost?

[9raphi5]

@tehtud2008

about 600.000$

[LilSerx]

@9raphi5 That's a lot of money to throw in the water, isn't it ?

[spacedskunk]

That was insane :S
