Did you know that someone landed on the helipad on top of the beautiful Burj Al Arab?
Yes, Polish RedBull pilot Luke Czepiela landed his modified Cub on the shortest possible runway of only 27 meters.
To make the feat possible he and a team of CubCrafters engineers along with renowned American aviation engineer and aircraft builder Mike Patey made a number of modifications to the aircraft, reducing the total weight to only 425 kilograms and moving the main fuel tank to the rear of the plane to allow for more aggressive braking. He practice the short landing multiple times before until he got it right and was then ready for the attempt to land on the Burj Al Arab!
Once he was up the second challenge was getting the plane of the helipad. The engineers added a nitrous system to enhance the power of the little cub, in order for it to take-off again.
Congrats Luke, that was hell of a landing and take-off!
