MAKSimum Effect: Loops, shaves & fountains in air

2011-08-18 11 Dailymotion

It's big numbers, big deals and showstopping stunts at the MAKS 2011 airshow in Moscow - and RT is there. Among those stealing the limelight is the latest Russian stealth fighter - the T50 - which debuted on Wednesday. It's lined up among the best in its class - like America's F22 fighter. Here it is showing what it can do for the crowds at MAKS 2011. But it's not all about military hardware. The big names in civilian aviation are there too - including Boeing and Airbus. While they're sellling an easy ride for air travellers - take a look at these guys: these are the Russian Knights and the Swifts. It takes a lot to put these aircraft through manic manoeuvres like these - as RT's Tom Barton discovered.
