The video in which two men fly alongside the largest plane in the world, the Airbus 380, has caught the attention of social media in recent days. The recording, about one minute long, was made in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.

The pilots in flight in the video were Vince Reffet and Yves Rossy, launched from a helicopter “well above the flight altitude”, and all activity was protected within a Temporary Restricted and Controlled Area, according to those responsible.
The recording was made in 2015 and has only reverberated now. At the time, the preparation regarding the safety of the flight lasted three months, with the support of the airline Emirates. The video raised a question among viewers: could they have been “sucked” by the aircraft?
Aviation specialist Lito Sousa said no. That’s because wake turbulence is dangerous for anyone below or behind the wings. If the person is above or to the side, as is the case in the video, “it does not suffer the effects of the treadmill”.
