There are certain things we all look for in a huge passenger jet: safety, stability, comfort... but what about some insane acrobatics? Well, you'll be pleased to see that the Boeing 787 Dreamliner can certainly provide the latter.

In between having cracked wings, dribbling fuel and catching fire, you might be surprised to find out that pilots can pull some mean tricks in Boeing's monstrous airplane. Vertical climbs, tight turns, ridiculous banking; we should probably just be pleased we're not inside the thing.

This video shows what pilots pilots Mike Byran and Randy Neville are capable of making a 787 Dreamliner do. It was filmed at the Farnborough International Air Show, which runs through to the 20th of July. [YouTube]
