Pilot Luke Czepiela lands an aeroplane on the world famous helipad on top of the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, the iconic seven-star hotel in Dubai. To land on the helipad, 27m in diameter, he completed over 650 practice landings before the attempt on top of the 56-story hotel. He needed just 20.76 meters to stop. 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, moving the main fuel tank to the rear of the plane to allow for more aggressive braking and adding nitrous to enhance power for Czepiela’s secondary challenge - taking off from the helipad.

*CONGRATS* !!!
Now land an A380 on there, Swiss001 style.
You should pin this!
I see on that site that Mike Patey gets credit for some of this. I'm watching his video on this now.
Red bull is GTA in real life 😂😂
I went to the comments to write this😂😂😂
Red Bull is just a sugary drink that makes you fat and heart deficient.
GTA is for losers in real life
Yeah 😅
which one?
We've seen some sketchy landings, but THIS is something else!
Red bull tricycle when?
I did this in MSFS several months ago I never thought someone would attempt that in real life!
Good
There no one better to pull into something like this than Mike Patey this is the stuff he loves the only thing that could surprise me with this is if mike doesn’t outdo this in one of his planes somehow can’t wait for the return of Draco
real
Shout-out to the crew member who controlled the drone and took that amazing shot of the takeoff. It's unreal.
It was taken from a helicopter!
@@zacharygrossman8316 Then it's even more amazing. The handling is too smooth, was it a dome camera? Cannot be handheld due to the angles.
@@medvemacko Helicopters can mount 3-axis and even 6-axis gyro-stabilized, gimbal-mounted cameras for aerial photography (and have done this for decades). Before UAS camera platforms existed, helicopters were the primary method of obtaining these types of camera angles.
@@zacharygrossman8316 There was 100% an FPV drone shot in there, not just helicopter shots. You can see longer versions of the clip in other redbull edits but it rolls over the aircraft.
@@JaseFilm It's an FPV quad shot for sure.
Mike Patey (designer and builder of this beast of a plane) is an absolute legend. Shoulder to shoulder with aviation giants like Rutan, Kelly Johnson, Yeager, and Lindberg. Guy is incredible in the air, and the fact that he takes the time to document all his passion projects in insane detail for everyone on youtube makes him one of my personal engineering and aviation heros.
Thanks for the shoutout and glad you enjoy the channel. More to come! Back to Work! 🤠
@@MikePatey can't wait to see more of scrappy and Draco X! I want to see that turboprop ripping it up! I got to see Draco when you visited LVK back in 2019. It was insane to watch that rocketship.
@@Hyperious_in_the_air coming soon 🤠
I usta wanna be Tom Petty, but now I want to be Mark Patey🚀
shoulder to shoulder indeed. great work.
OK OK this is actually incredible 🤯
Red Bull complimenting itself
*their Pilot
@@boy638 it's probably the same person as well
Insert obama giving obama medal picture
Do you watch yourself in the mirror when you touch yourself ? Because it really looks like this and it's kinda awkward..
We actually watched this from the hotel this morning. It was amazing. The take off was better than the video shows.
hope we didn't wake you up 😉
It was worth it !! 🙃🚁🛩
What were the wind conditions like?
Virtually flat calm
@@pinkfizz4170 - Flat calm but the guy was way right on first attempt and then second attempt was too high by about 10 metres? Absolute amateur hour.
Not everyone realizes just how much SKILLS it takes to accomplish this mission. Congratulations Luke, Cub Crafters and the MP Mike Patey team!
Curious what’s different about this landing versus some of the bush pilots doing pretty much vertical landings? Is it the plane, wind speeds, etc?
@@etgripper any time you see vertical landings like you’re talking about is only possible with like 35kt head winds. This landing is only really crazy because of the danger involved.
@@yamkaw346 What danger, Really what danger? What would happen if he went over the edge? Not fall to the earth but continue to fly. It only takes feet for one of these planes to take off. There was 0 and I mean 0% chance of anything bad that was going to happen. You drive faster on the interstates than that plane flies.
@@nunstersplace 😂 that’s one of the dumbest things I’ve read in a while….. Touching the wheels down exactly where you want is very difficult, imagine if he had come up one foot short….
Ive done it in GTA V cant be tjay hard 😅
Bro took Red Bull gives you wings to the next level
Way to go team Red Bull, Mike Patey and Luke. Absolutely unbelievable!!
Ohhhh! Team Red Bull at it again!! Breaking boundaries and making history 😊
I don't often drink Red Bull but this brand has all my respect.

No room for error - what an incredible achievement!!
thanks Mark!
Actually, there was lots of room for errors hence why it took him multiple tries.
@@Gunit867899 Well only room for certain errors. Coming in too low or overshooting just barely could have ended bad.
@@kaffeetasse9455 I agree. If he'd gone of the end or the platform, he had a chance to just go into dive, like he did at the end anyway. I think he'd planned it that way, but it could have gone horribly wrong. And, coming in too low means colliding with the building or the landing pad. Yea, maybe that means he shears off his landing gear and maybe does an endo (end-over-end, landing on it's back), which is survivable (though the plane would be scrap). But, any lower and it would be like hitting the edge of the platform nose on, and then falling to his death, short of the platform. But, maybe you had similar expectations.
There was lots of room for error, as he proved by missing it a couple of times.
I didn't know anything about this until I saw Mike Patey's video about building the plane! Great work!
Absolutely incredible! Awesome pilot skills but no doubt a major credit to the team as well. Bravo!
Bardzo niebezpieczne,bardzo odważne i Wielki szacunek dla Pana . Polak jest jednak Polakiem i potrafi.Pan to właśnie udowodnił. ✌️

Getting the Patey brothers involved in this project was the best decision that you could make. Way to go!
Mike Patey a great engineer and aircraft builder, pilot etc etc …. then add the Red Bull pilot … a winning combination !! Well done team, great achievement ! From Australia 🇦🇺
Szczęka mi opadła jak dowiedziałem się że to nasz pilot .Wielki podziw i szacunek za nabitą łapę i wielkie serce . Pozdrawiam z 🇮🇸
Redbull needs to do more STOL. Great stuff. I hope Redbull can create some technological relationship with the Patey Brothers, makers of Draco, Scrappy, and much much more.
we've got a few ideas brewing 😉
@Red Bull you should buy a surplus OV-10 Bronco and use it as a STOL parachute platform.
If you look closely, mike is standing on the helipad when the pilot touches down.
Mike Patey is in the video, he is the guy on the radio congratulating Luke, the pilot, and... he is the guy who prepped this plane;). He just uploaded a vide about it on his own channel.
@@redbull Awesome! DO IT!
Anything Mike Patey is involved with will be a success. An amazing guy.
Once again Red Bull are just out here raising the bar with these world firsts! Absolutely insane! Keep the quality stunts coming!!
Having spent time in the region, the winds must have been insane. Amazing flying.
Awesome!
thanks 👊
@@redbull blue bull when?
You could make a video for Xplained about awesome stunts, and what kind of training is nessecary. This video would be a top candidate!
Supercar Blondie why don't you do a collab with Red Bull? It's gonna be great, I'll be there to watch it.😊
He must be pretty good with tight parking spaces 🤔
Congrats to Luke. This is incredible !! Polish pride. The Battle Of Britain 303 Squadron. Cheers from Australia.
I hope this gets tens of millions of views, absolutely deserves it!
thanks mickie!
RED BULL GOES INSANE EVERYTIME🔥✨
Couldn't crash into the side of the runway during practice like you can on the real thing. I was so nervous watching those attempts on the hotel! There was just no room not to drop the tires into the perfect spot. But that was amazing! Great job Luke Czepiela and the Red Bull team! WOW!
Sensacional.... entrou para historia... parabéns Luke parabéns Red Bull...
Pretty incredible. Kudos to all the teams that made this possible (Of course I watch Mike Patey's channel) And of course the skill of the pilot.... Well done Luke. :-)
The only difficulty is coming in too low which can be avoided by pulling up and increasing speed. If he overshoots, he can just regain speed. What would make this more interesting is if there was a wall in front. In that case it has to be achieved on first try.
only Red Bull can pull off stuff like this 🤯
we're just living our best lives ❤️
No . There’s plenty of people who can do this . Search for STOL competitions .
Or every Alaskan bush pilot 😂 This wouldn’t have been possible without a massive headwind.
@@loganamnosiss Look again. The windsock shows a light crosswind. They needed calm wind because high wind causes turbulence due to the building's proximity.
Love seeing mike on a cool project like this. What a guy.
Absolutely amazing that this happened thanks to redbull for everything they've done for aviation
Credit to Mike Patey who builds these things in his sleep, using only the best aircraft wheels coming right outta my backyard👍🏼 Small world!
Brawo Panie Łukaszu 👏
-Samolotem na helipadzie wylądować się nie da! - dawać Polaków! 😁😁😁😁😁😁❤️
Byliśmy mistrzami świata na Wildze i co niektórzy dalej mają tylko udoskonaloną wersję wspaniały wyczyn panowie i panie POLAK!!!Gratuluję 🫡
This is truly amazing! Please do more videos with STOL aircrafts.
Congratulations ! What a great team work ! Incredible !
RedBull does the unimaginable 😂
Gratulacje! Coś wspaniałego! 👏
Who else forgot Red Bull was a drink and not a sports company
The exit was just as good, if not better, than the entrance. Pretty awesome!
One of the greatest aviation feats in a long time, knew I'd see Mike Patey involved in this!
Without Mike, you wouldn't have seen it at all.
Okay now this is Epic! Nice job team Red bull!
thanks Stearman!
Amazing! I couldn't imagine this being possible, yet he pulled it off. Very impressive.
Heck, the airspeed over altitude departure was as equally cool.
RedBull is Magic ❤❤❤. You make my day 🎉🎉🎉
thanks Zac, you've made our day
Woooooow!!!! Jaw on the floor here! That took balls as large as his talent!
This is amazing!!! Redbull kicking the ball out of the park again!!
Fantastic ! ! Thank you so much. RedBull power challeng spirit.
Looks like Patey had a hand in this too so awesome!!
Why does it not surprise me at all that Mike Patey was involved with this?
Only a Polish airman could do that Big congratulations Łukasz
@@majktyson6275 Yes I do The word "only" is appropriate Because Marcin Banot is also Polish. So, you're right and I'm right😊 Wszystkiego dobrego
STOL pilot's do 9 to 10 foot landings easy all the time. What makes this difficult is win at that height... although to be blown off would be easy, however blown off target with damage to the craft could be fatal.
As a Polish Person im SOOO proud of our pilot Łukasz Czepiela.
Brilliant skills by all the team, congratulations & well done
His front wheels actually touched down on the white circle!! That was fun to watch. Also look at Mike celebrating the landing hahaha. cool stuff!
In Mike's video, he said he had a 2' landing spot, and actually, the marks are where they built up the area before the white circle. So, yeah, precision landing.
bro this is so sick. i also love redbull jukebox. keep up the great work!
Ok! Bravo! So amazing! So wonderful! Congrats to the talent pilot!
Was pleasantly surprised to see Mike Patey and his wife Chandra in the video! Very scary and impressive stunt! It must have taken a huge amount of guts!
This channel just drops World Records like it’s nothing!!! 😂👌🏻
Talk about stopping on a dime ! Excellent ! 👏
Mike, Chandra ... looking good. Kudos REDBULL.
This was incredible! Well done!
thanks Joseph 💪
Red Bull damn, you got some wings right there!
I figured that turbulence from the building would play hell and it did on his first attempt. Nicely done, if your interest in STOL (Short TakeOff and Landing aircraft) look up the STOL record set up in Alaska a few years back, iirc is was somewhere in the 13 FEET range by a mini cub, basically as smaller version of what this guy did, with a few other mods done to it.
Redbull you guys are savage. Amazing!!
now every flight simmer will be trying this, well done and well done Mike!
Yes, but someone is going to have to come out and offer a redesigned Carbon Cub the way Mike had it set up. I haven't had the opportunity to get with MSFS yet, but I understand the dynamics are much better. But, with the stock Carbon Cub, I'm not sure it would do the landing without ending up on its prop. The model would need to be modified the way Mike modified the real airplane.
Already been fantasized and tried by many but this ain't no sim, it requires heavy balls. I would not try it in real life:))))
INCREDIBLE you guys beat everyone else on flight simulator and did it in real life!
it's more fun in real life 😉
@@redbull And dangerous 😁😁
Szép landolás.Ügyes vagy.Köszönöm
Landing a helicopter on such pad is not an easy task. So but this guy landed a plane? Jeeez. We need more cockpit vew.
big stunt, epic prepration, oots of money - lets do this in a 2 minute video whitout any exxaggerated "prepare, train, train more, nearly give up, train even more, prepare more"-parts! Love it!
thanks Slalomer 🙌
As soon as I was like "how the heck is he gonna get it off?" ... He dives like a boss lol
And he's doing that with a very tail-heavy aircraft - heavily modded to let him brake harder on the landing without flipping it. Skills.
@@patheddles4004 probably bad for the diving, but than might be useful when tryin to turning up
@@hereitcomes3912 exactly. Taildragger plane, so under heavy braking it's trying to pivot the nose down and the tail up. Weight in the tail resists that, especially further back behind the main wheels (which are the pivot point). But that weight imbalance will tend to pitch the plane up, making it harder to dive.
Red Bull always pushing the limits... truly incredible.
Redbull truly gives you wings and to do this you truly need balls of steel. 😁😆. Awesome feet achieved Redbull Team.
Mike Patey once said (referring to landing on a flat spot on the side of a mountain), "if you land long, just toss it off the back side and it will start flying on the way down." I think this applies here.
concidering he built this plane, absolutely!
Correct! It is high enough to pour the coals (power) to it and dump it over edge push the nose down and get it flying again.
This is true! Planes naturally fall in a swooping down and up path called a phugoid. Even a paper airplane does this. Low stall speed and a powerful engine makes the phugoid shallow. Shallow enough that it's okay to just drop off something tall with barely any airspeed. The air catches you before the ground. The biggest danger was hitting a hard and delicate part of the airframe against an edge of the pad. "Tripping" on the near edge would be catastrophic, smacking the tail on the far edge would be pretty bad too.
Das muss erst einmal jemand nachmachen. Großer Respekt. 👍👍👍
Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
Brawo! ❤
Thank god i didnt hear the Dutch anthem after this.
why would you?
F1 PTSD...
As an aircraft builder, this is freaking amazing! The Wright brothers are smiling 👌
Never drank, Red Bull in life, but a huge fan of Red bull for sponsering such great stunts, that most dream, and we can see them happening in real life 👏👏
2:13 This is mindblowingly brilliant!!!!! I’ve done wing walking on a 1939 biplane at about 150mph above the clouds performing a Cuban 8 which was pretty exhilarating but this must have been the biggest adrenaline rush!!! Awesome job🌟
The person piloting has balls of steel
Wing-rockin' nailed it!
The takeoff was just as amazing!!!
Gratulacje! 💪🇵🇱
Pretty neat! If you want to see some record holders for the shortest landings, go to Valdez, Alaska. They have a big STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) competition there every year. You will see folks land in the same distance as the length of the plane they're flying. Mike was there with Draco a few years ago. There are countless videos on this site from that event. Absolutely incredible.
You crazy daredevil, good job you are a great pilot.
Hats off to the pilot to pull out this epic stunt 👏🏽..love from India ❤ 🇮🇳
Bro just saw a tiktok of someone doing it in a simulator and decided to try it out irl. That's just nuts!
Nie od wczoraj wiadomo że🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱 Polscy 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱 lotnicy są najlepsi na świecie 🙂 świetna robota! Brawo!
Naprawdę? A co z tymi, którzy probowali lądować pod Smolenskiem? Oni też byli Polakami... Nacjonalistyczny przygłupie.
no ba 8)
Carbon Cub's are absolutely amazing aircraft. Being able to fly so slow, land and take off so short boggles the mind.
Mike Patey yelling!!! Priceless. Some great info about the lead up to this on Mike's channel
Great job Pilot Luke , This is what I call a dare-devil risktaker Pilot , Cheers to the team Red Bull 🎉
thanks very much 💪
I powiedz tu Polakowi, że czegoś nie da się zrobić😂 Good job !!!
Talk about a high pucker factor for that stunt. Bravo! Great landing!
Hey, I’ve gotten pretty good at this with a XCub Carbon on MSFS 2020. Awesome to see someone attempt and land this in real life!
Every time I think Red Bull's stunt team have peaked they go and do something like land a plane on a helipad 56 stories in the air. Keep up the awesome stunts everyone and, most importantly, stay safe!
thanks 🙌
@@redbull next you should land a plane on a wind turbine blade, which is much longer than this helipad but narrower.
