- Never before seen footage. It's been just over a year since we landed a CarbonCub on the Burj Al Arab in Dubai. Here's some of the backstory and behind the scenes you have not heard yet. We had 1 day, 1 opportunity, 1 pass to land that airplane...and Luke stuck it!

MIke, we know you’re busy and don’t put out a lot of content compared to other UA-camrs, but when you do it’s freaking gold!! Thank you for sharing this video!!
This is a perfect example why even the best pilots can crash when flying around and close to mountains! The unexpected power of the wind as it moves over irregular objects.
@@user-tu7kv4eo7y Unfortunately not all pilots are skilled "best" pilots, because of two important factors. Lack of practice and inability to handle challenging wind conditions or mechanical failure!
Mike, I love the fact that you and the team didn't take a dangerous risk and were ok with shutting down the attempt that day. You rely on the physics, math, data, etc. to ultimately drive your decisions which is why you and others like you are making such huge contributions to aviation.
Absolutely amazing. The decision was in seconds, and everyone involved got behind it, even though it was a monumental effort to co-ordinate the entire support team and area preparation, as well as approvals etc. This whole endeavour was taken so seriously, and makes the achievement of the actual landing so much bigger - it isn't something you can just fuck around and do, it is on the absolute edge.
It was still a dangerous risk. Most likely a maneuver that less than 0.001% of pilots would dare take.
As Mike Rowe says, "safety third". That’s honesty. There have been several situations now where Mike Patey is involved in something where he and/or others could be seriously hurt. This video is a stark contrast to the DRACO incident that was shared as a learning experience, telling us he shouldn’t have been out there that day, taking unnecessary risks. But that’s exactly what this was. Yes, there is a place for taking chances and risks to advance, it’s what got us to where we are today. But let’s at least be honest about it.
Finally an update. Just glanced at my phone and bam. The Mike is back!
manifestation...? 😮
Hit that play button quick, didn’t ya ? 😅
P00
Can only imagine the challenges this poses to helicopter pilots let alone a Cub. Thank you Mike. Really appreciate what you share with the world and letting us into your hanger. You don't have to but you do, getting aviation out there.
That was my thought, too: what about the helo pilots who are supposed to use this pad? It seems like the worst possible design for them. I’d love to hear from a helo pilot who deals with building landings.
@@joshcarter-com Helo pilots are a different group of breeds all together, from landing the back end of a chinook on a building in the mountains, to putting a helo on the back of a destroyer in the waves it's insane stuff.
I was thinking the same thing! I bet landing a helicopter could get exciting.
Mike your the GOAT of all time when it comes to Engineering...& Building planes.... A friggin Amazing...
Been flying for 46 year's, from a 421 to ultralights, extremely short strips to big runways. I understand this one and NO WAY I'd try it !!! Congrats to everyone involved !!! Completely unbelievable ❤❤
Mike, you’re amazing! You were obviously the magic ingredient….. Luke and yourself had an incredible chemistry, if only we could bottle what you and Luke have, the world would be a far better place! Keep it up, you’re an inspiration to so many!
I always love seeing how much effort goes into the redbull stunts
Story was just as good as the landing. ❤🎉
I agree. This story is just begging to be made into a book. Whoever does it should not neglect to describe and explain the engineering considerations that fed the decisions at each step - Mike's inclusion of those details went a long way to providing understanding of the challenge.
I still get chills every time i watch the awesome landing, Pure GOLD!!!
... Mike your absolutely correct about the wind effects around the Burj Al Arab ... I spent many years (25+) flying helicopters in the Dubai & Abu Dhabi area (am now retired) and have landed on that deck a few times ... though with a Multi Engined Helicopter the techniques are a little different ... there is always a certain amount of "Pucker Factor" involved with any Ridge or Pinnacle landing ... your video ... takes me back ... EXCELLENT efforts all around ... CHEERS.
Such an epic project! Enjoyed, the behind the scenes footage.
I'm impressed by how little room for error there is from when the tires barely clear the edge of platform to when they must touch it.
Thank you for a look behind the scenes. Everything you do has way more layers than anyone realizes. You are a legend!
Wow. I thought I had followed this stunt closely. There was so much more I didn’t know. Thanks for sharing this Mike!
Mike, you always have the best videos! Thank you for posting this. Of course, I guess the majority of us didn't know the 'behind the scenes' on this story.
I'm looking forward to updates on the planes you're building, if Scrappy gets a constant speed prop, the house and everything else you're doing. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
What a great behind the scenes look at a piece of aviation history.
WOW! Simply unbelievable! Luke is truly a man of steel! His flying skills combined with his incredible nerves of steel is amazing. Congrats to Mike, Luke and all who made this an incredible stunt. Cheers!
Thanks for the back story, didn't know about the one attempt. 🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩
STILL amazed by the engineering and planning that made this possible. Thanks for the video Mike!
Hearing all that, I'm not sure I'd even land on that pad in a helicopter. There goes that bucket list item I was never going to do anyway!
If there is anyone ever to walk this Earth to get things done, it’s you Mike! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a great tribute to an unbelievable effort! The entire team deserves the upmost in accolades. BRAVO!
Mike, that has to be the best and most dangerous video that RedBull, Luke, and You have ever thought of and doing. WOW
I’m super excited to find out what Mike has been doing with his plane builds!
You RULE Mike! Outstanding! Looking forward to more of your amazing creations.
wow, thanks to mike ,luke and red bull. that was fricking INSANE!!! it blew my mind. the timing on the landing was incredible, i watched it on slow mo. clever pilot!!
Fantastic, just never realised how much work went into this, and how lucky you had to be!
Guy is actually a really good story teller! Awesome 🎉
What a cool story! Thank you for your hard work, and perseverance!
Mark Patey (and team) You are LEGENDS!
This was incredible commentary! Thank you for sharing this!
it's awesome to see how much work went into that one landing, good job Luke and Mike and the red bull folks
Thank you Mike for putting this together. Awesome job and well-deserved success to the team!
Great video Mike! AND THE BEST PART IS THE MENTION OF WORKING ON PLANES AND SEEING THE WHITE WILGA IN THE BACKGROUND WITH PARTS ON THE GROUND! DRAKO 2.0 IS IN THE WORKS HELL YEA!
Łukasz Czepiela "Luke" is a master. Great, sharp teamwork. Knowledge, experience and intuition of Mike Patey. Congratulations Gentleman!
Appreciated. Thank you Mike and crew.
So awesome to see this update ... very interesting to see how much effort went into this record
Thank you for Sharing !!!! This brings tears to my eyes....
Mike the back story is just incredible, thanks for sharing it with us!!!
This is a fascinating behind-the-scenes.
That was one of the most amazing videos I've ever seen on youtube.
❤😮❤😮❤
So much respect for you Mike and how you always put safety ahead of everything else
Thank You!!! Mike and Mark for all you do and giving back to so much to so many. Take care my friends!!! Fly on🛩
Great video Mike. I love hearing about the details and all the safety that went into this event. Great job Red Bull Team. When can we get another house video update? :)
Coming soon!
I lived in the UAE for 5 years and my company worked on the building and I have been on the buildings pad. With this in mind the Red Bull landing is an impossible task that man and technology completed. My hat is off to all involved. PS , I was scared just standing on the pad.
With the way the wind goes nuts around it, I think it's fair to be afraid while just standing out there. It looks like you'd have plenty of time to reconsider your choices on the way down if you blew off. 😮
Thanks Mike, the “Miracle at Dubai” was great! Looking forward to see your new builds.
A lot of respect for you and the Red Bull team. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing story. Being a private fixed wing pilot, a hang glider pilot, & a sailplane pilot, this is an insane story with all the hallmarks of the greatest feats every performed. Phenomenal attention to detail & preparation is always what makes the difference. Safety first & safety last!
There is ALWAYS more to your projects than anyone realizes. Thank you for sharing the background. I am now excited to see what is going on with SCRAPPY!!!
Great back story and only makes the feat that much more amazing!!! Thx for the magic.
HI Mike and team,
I watched this slow mo from the plane and I cannot see any down elevator during the landing which suggests the stick was not pushed forwards. You and your team are absolutely fantastic and thank you so much for your brilliant mind, content and hard work! You are one of Life's Superstars!!!!
Pushing forward doesn't necessarily mean pushing passed neutral...
This is one of the best stories I’ve learned about in a very long time. Insane guts for everyone to pull this off!
The attempt was amazing, all the work you put in brings new meaning to the professional preparation that you and the team put in. The background is every bit as impressive as the actual thing. Your approach to risk management is phenomenal.
dangerous but for that it was wonderful. flying is already like that, you can see that there was a lot of work behind it, it was a great team, Mike was the soul of the team
Thank you Mike I really loved hearing this!
That Cub is a prime candidate for a display slot in the National Air and Space Museum. BRAVO ZULU!
One phrase for luke...balls of steel
Looking forward to every episiode!!! .. Thanks for the behind the scene's peek .. When legends come together... the outcome is legendary!
Mike,amazing.. many blessings to you for all your incredibly hard work!
Simply an amazing achievement. Congrats and well done Mike & team. Great to see the background story to this achievement. Thanks for sharing.
Good to see ya back Mike, inspiring as always!
All I got to say is this was absolutely incredible! Mike you are an amazing man!
Right! Wouldn't want to land a chopper in that wind,Mike's just unbelievable,what an example of what a man can do with determination
Mike, Luke and the entire staff you have done an incredible job. As a retired off-shore helicopter pilot I know how strange can be the wind on an elevated helipad and obviously much more strange with a fixed wings.😮 Congratulations 👍👏👌
Mad respect for what CAN be done, and when it SHOULDN'T be done..
I do some crazy things in tight places with RC planes. What an insane project, windshear or turbulence on short final or at touchdown, the invisible enemy..
The mortal danger involved with this project and insane structure, with ludicrously challenging turbulence characteristics..wow!
I had my worries flying my RC STOL plane(origional model of Eflite Timber) into a tight pinacle lookout @ my local park..had to clear a 330° surrounding 4' wall and land cleanly within the "available" 20' circle, bordered foreward 180° by structure and trees..through variable turbulence. Missed approaches were full power 180° "baulk" @ full flaps, backwards "over shoulder" to the "dropoff side of the cliff" for unobstructed recovery BEFORE passing wall. "Stepping" down approaches was tedious but educational! The "bump" & wake turbulence over the wall had to be dealt with..a moderately steep powered approach and chop of power with agressive rotation to 2pt landing worked ..
*I was successfully "done" upon my first and only ever landing there!*
Not trying that again! Bravado be damned, my little electric 59" foam plane deserves credit for forgiveness and performance!
I love your videos Mike. Always so excited to see when you post a new one. Keep up the good work !
Mike, Gripping feelings of intensity, excitement, happiness from from this video. Having an immense passion for flying, especially this kind of flying are selfcare moments of escape, as I continue to someday achieving my very own carbon cub in retirement. Thank you, Aloha!
Amazing content! Thank you for the behind the scenes look….Luke is a Jedi master… zero room for error
3/27/24..just caught your RedBull 'back story' & preparations for this event! Great job giving us the details. Sooo glad all went well! Excellent attention to details & strict adherence to safety! A+✅️👍💪😊
Amazing, Thanks for sharing this story, and excellently done too! You are a great story teller!
I love those Carbon Cubs with a big engine. Now that's flying.
I've tried this numerous times on MSFS and failed each time. Hats off to you guys for doing it for real! NO ONE else could've pulled it off!
Ah, the rest of the story! Thanks so much Mike.
That had to be one of the hardest "scrub" decisions in aviation history. Knowing what could be accomplished and then having to say no, we're done. I'm so glad there was a second chance. Doing it in one attempt is insane.
Mike, that was amazing! So much preparation that when it happened I almost cried! Super amazing story!
I Love the event and details presented in this video! Thank you for sharing the experience. Mike I love your content and your passionate support of general aviation. ❤
A great explanation of the challenges and prep to accomplish the amazing landing.
Thanks for the rest of the story.
Learning the full story. Goosebump worthy.
Most excellent! Looking forward to more from you.
Those terrific graphics of the wind direction really make this video special - Good Work!
Absolutely amazing, Mike!! Love,love the work you do and what you bring to the aviation community.
This is the Video they should have lead with for this event! So much suspense!
Mike
I’m from UAE, I really love what you do, and i appreciate all the work and build you do,
I’m planning to build an AIr park and I know I would need county plane for people to purchase from the region,
I hope one day we could partner to make this dream come true.
Thank you for your content. Keep posting and educating.
Omar
Thank you for sharing this behind the scenes info!
Thanks, Mike!!
Absolute perfection hats off to you Mike
1:53 You say the "airfoil" shape of the building would "pull" the air from the wind into the negative pressure zone on the leeward side of the building, but the reality is that the atmosphere outside the negative pressure zone would _push_ the wind into that zone. It seems pedantic, but I find that helping students model in their head what's actually going on can lead to better problem solving skills in these sorts of situations in various air sports. The short mnemonic is "science doesn't suck" in that with fluids there's always a push, never a pull. This also simplifies thinking about a challenge: from which direction are you being pushed?
Great breakdown, this is just sharing some thoughts, not a deep critique or anything, appreciate your work!
amazing edit ! great usage of soundtrack backing and amazing content to see this behind the scenes!
Epic. That dump on the pass was close to being bad.
Beautiful work, guys !
Amazing !
Was in Dubai Nov. 22, going back next year, having seen the LZ first hand gives a greater appreciation for the feat that you guys accomplished, WOW! 👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic !! THANX MIKE.
Thanks for the breakdown. Incredible calculations! What a landing!!!
Inspiring in so many levels. Love to be a part of the aviation community!
Amazing video, thanks for sharing and for making it happen. Luc’s piloting skills are above comprehension.😍🍁
Soooooo cool to see this video ! Incredible job ! Thank you for this !
Thanks for sharing - SO exciting!
Perfect video. Thanks Mike and team.
