[September 4, 2021, 11:43 am Beijing time] Austria Red Bull signed a well-known aerobatic pilot Dario Costa successfully flew a plane across two highway tunnels outside the suburbs of Istanbul , writing a new chapter of his own in aviation history. The whole process took less than 44 seconds, setting a Guinness World Record.

Live experience in hundreds of battles laying the foundation for crossing the tunnel

As an aerobatic pilot signed by Austria Red Bull, Costa has flew more than 60 models of aircraft and has a flight time of more than 5,000 hours in the air. This difficult and complex tunnel flight seemed easy, but in fact, there was a team of up to 40 people behind it carefully prepared for more than a year, making this challenge that was once a paper talk a reality.

Started with a difficult start. Only by keeping your mind stable can you surpass yourself.

In the early morning of that day, Costa took off in the first tunnel in the Çatalca Tunnels. Although the early morning sunlight provides excellent environmental conditions for Costa, the changes in tunnel curvature and slope still make straight-line flight difficult.

During the mission, due to changes in airflow and the aircraft's highly sensitive steering characteristics, Costa's reaction time during the entire flight requires less than 250 milliseconds, and the movements of the hands must also be accurate to millimeters. At the same time, during flight, Costa must keep the plane at a distance of no more than 1 meter from the ground, which tests Costa's flight technology.

When the plane finally successfully rushed out of the tunnel, Costa operated the plane to celebrate a 360° aerial flip stunt. He said happily: "I have never flew in a tunnel in my life, and I believe no one has ever succeeded. When I flew out of the first tunnel, the plane began to shift to the right due to the crosswind between the two tunnels, but I was not panicked, but focused on getting the plane back on track. Although there were some emergencies, at this moment, I felt extremely relaxed and happy because another dream came true!"

In the end, Costa's flight results were very impressive. It took only 43.44 seconds from takeoff to completing the challenge, with a flight distance of 2,260 meters (2.26 kilometers), and the average flight speed reached an astonishing 245 kilometers per hour in the second tunnel. This challenge also sets a new Guinness World Record: Flying the longest tunnel distance (1,610 meters) by flying the plane. In addition, this challenge has four outstanding achievements: the first time flying the aircraft through a tunnel, the longest flight distance under solid obstacles (1,610 meters), the first time the aircraft crosses two tunnels, and the first time the aircraft takes off from the tunnel.

Previously, Costa also received guidance from the well-known aerobatic pilot Péter Besenyei, a famous aviation legend who was famous all over the world for his outstanding achievements in the Red Bull Air Race in Austria.

Betsenye said: "Flying in a tunnel is indeed not common. The success of this mission is mainly due to Costa's good mentality. Because if you only fly one meter high on an ordinary plane runway, it is actually not difficult. But the situation in a dark tunnel is very different, and the air waves in the flight will also affect the bumps of the fuselage. In this case, if you make a mistake, you will hit the hard wall in the tunnel, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Firm belief and carry forward the spirit of the Austrian Red Bull brand

Costa's perfect aerobatic flight not only breaks through itself, but also adds a strong stroke to the Guinness World Record, but also perfectly interprets the passion, energy, vitality and challenge spirit that Austrian Red Bull insists on, and brings Austrian Red Bull's athletic spirit of passion, energy, vitality and challenge, and brings Austrian Red Bull's athleticism to the Austrian Red Bull. Bull's unique brand label is integrated into itself and conveyed to the general public.
