- GGR Group's CEO Graeme Riley flies 72,000 feet to the edge of space in a MIG29UB from Russia's Sokol Airbase. Video captures speeds of 1500 MPH and Mach 2. The footage was captured by a video camera mounted on a GGR Glass Suction Mount !

Amazing how deathly quiet it is in the cockpit. The engines are a nice whisper. Gorgeous machine.
just love those MIGS,they really have grace.
@Fwright88 the mig 25 foxbat set the absolute ceiling height for jets at On 25 July 1973, A. Fedotov reached 35,230m with 1,000 kg payload, and 36,240 m (118,897 feet)with no load (an absolute world record). In the thin air, the engines flamed out and the aircraft coasted on in a ballistic trajectory by inertia alone. At the apex the speed had dropped to 75 km/h.
Cool,nice& smooth
This aircraft is so AMAZING.
Wow! That guy has balls!
At body temperature (98.6F for us yanks, or 37C) blood boils at 63,000ft (19,202m). If something goes wrong (loss of cabin pressure, any catastrophic failure, etc) above that height you can't eject without a pressure suit and hope to survive.
It's not that the video is fake (who knows!) but rather that Russian pilots simply have larger testicles/ovaries than anyone else on Earth. Also, the MIG-29 is highly reliable and robust. They trust their hardware.
haha was only a little bit of a joke, but yes scraping spats is never a good thing, not to mention replacing the aircraft is not exactly inexpensive either. there used to be something like this here in the states for rides in an F-16, but one guy had a heart attack, guess the G forces were too much for him. and the company stopped doing this because of fear of law suits. Nice to see you guys still do this, hopefully when I have the money I can visit, would love to See Russia, and ride this plane
great video!!
I heard MIG29s can actually fly higher than this if they use parabolic arch flight and use momentum to fly past their engine ceiling, then reignite the engines on the way down. It's a dangerous technique, but can traverse great distances quickly to get into and out of combat really fast, as well as being able to shoot down extremely high altitude jets.
The maximum ceiling for that maneuver is classified, but one Soviet jet (I'm not sure what model) shot down a U2 at nearly full altitude using the technique during the cold war, so the Russians have had it for a while.
The ascent-burn suborbital arch technique was what the Blackbird series (A12 and subsequent SR series) was created to counters, the initial models in this series flew at an altitude above the Soviet's engine ceiling, but lower than the U2 in the hopes that it would be able to fly fast enough that the Soviets wouldn't be able to plot an arch to intercept, and from all indications it worked.
well first off, there's a reason why SR-71 and U-2 pilots wore suits similar to space suits. Beyond certain altitudes, the environment becomes unsurvivable due to the lack of air pressure in an unpressurized cabin. A MIG-29 may be able to reach altitudes similar to the before mentioned american planes using certain techniques, but not without the pilot being specially equipped. Secondly, the U-2 you are talking about is the one flown by Gary Powers. It was shot down by a surface-to-air missile, not a russian jet.
ruediix Arrived in Sverdlovsk Commission established the following. Intruder crossed the state border is 5 hours and 35 minutes. Came at the height of 18.000-21.000 meters at a speed of 720-780 km / h. The flight was nipped at 8 o'clock 36 minutes of the 2nd Battalion of the 57th antiaircraft missile brigade - a crew headed by Major Mikhail Voronov.
Ракета взорвалась позади самолета, ее осколки пробили хвостовое оперение и крылья (радиус поражения осколками ракеты комплекса С-75 - до 300 метров),
ruediix at the time was the Su-9
Thanks for nice video,i like it!!
Curious as to how this MiG29 got to 72k when its operational ceiling is listed at 69k.
amazing
exactly right. he would have to wear an airtight spacesuit above that altitude as the lack of pressure would cause his blood to boil without one. he seems to be wearing nothing more than a standard G-suit which would suggest a safe ceiling of around 55000 feet.
so amazing!!!!
I love our scientists who create this technique! May God give them good health and long life and all the best!
Wow, this is a dream!
The best part is the guy who made this kept reusing the same sound bite during the acrobatics
Just curious, how much does this cost, and how much do they let "you" fly the plane? :D
@Madog98, technically its the edge of space AND the atmosphere. Because space starts where the atmosphere ends right?
welcome to space bro
Not taking anything at all away from good old American ingenuity, but that's a pretty sexy machine! Looks to handle damn well too. Would've loved some tech data and stats throughout this video...
72,000 feet! Gosh, that's nearly as high as a Canberra can fly !
Escape velocity is around 29 000 mph
It's still beautiful nonetheless
Dude,top of the world !
Yes one was shot down due to a missile, not because of how the plane was built. The U-2 never had as many crashes as the MIG-29, which is known to crash on takeoffs. And it is hard to judge Russia's best fighter when none of them see combat; I was just going off the lower crash rate of the MIG-29 compared to the Su-27.
This sound *-* cant wait for ILA 2014 ^^
hi!!! im solar radiation and i like that you have an unprotected canopy
what is up with the audio?
I don't know if it was 72,000 feet, or what, but I've been in the mid 40's in a civilian jet, and the sky was still blue, so he was somewhere in the lower areas of our atmosphere. Great video, though.
How much it cost a travel like this?
In Soviet Russia, the space explores you
Don't mean to be a party pooper but should you not be wearing a pressure suit?
Don't expect to survive an ejection at 72,000feet!
Look carefully at the end of the video and you will see that the pressure suit is underneath of the coverall. and is an entire suit covering legs arms and torso, just as a divers suit.

Thanx
Besides, the ejection method at those heights is usually to fall a certain ammount of altitude and then eject.
High altitude eject is only used in case of the plane actually exploding or something, not simply being disabled. (In other air to air combat, because there is no way a ground to air missile can reach 72K Feet) This doesn't look like an air combat situation to me.
The MIG-25 rides take you to 92,500 feet if you look up vids on here, and they only wear G suits as well.
He wasn't actually near the edge of space, he was pretty high up but realistically he wasn't near the defined "Edge of space"
Not sure about your first question, but for the second, im guessing that the cockpit was pressurised, so he woulsn't need one.
Thanks for the reply! I guess the MIG-31 would have the best chance of shooting down a satellite since it can reach altitudes of 123,000+ feet from what Wikipedia said.
How high was that? Max alt?
There is no way an aircraft will just "float away". Earth's escape velocity is about 11.2 km/s or about 25,200 mph.
The fastest aircraft in the world, the SR-71 Blackbird, set a record at 2,193 mph. That's not even close.
That is soo aweseome
Flying a MiG is like flying on air and fly a U.S jet is like flying on a thruster.
Mmm depends on ze programm. basic for mig29 is about 420k ru or ~13k usd for 20-25 minutes (some aerobatics). ~20k usd for 45 minutes for going 21km (72k feet) and then some aerobatics. They wont let you fly the plane officially. It is possible though via nonofficial agreements if you have licence and experience on the simillar craft - price will go up to 31k+ usd for lets say 15 minutes of piloting by yourself. By nonofficial i mean those are not in the price list.
Wow, how original.
Why is not wearing a pressure suit so surprising?
Even astronauts in space shuttles living in space for days don't wear pressure suits all the time. Nobody questioned them. :D
wtf is that thing on the canopy that looks a lot like one of those crank mini-skylight things found on motor homes? Looks like it stays up until after he gets airborn. anyone know what that is for?
Question......In another edge of space flight I watched the pilot and passenger were basically wearing space suits. In this Mig not the case. Guess the cabin is pressurized??? But what if you had to bail at over 50K feet......Would your flesh not just boil?
Do you guys offer others to ride on board? That seems really neat.
Damn, I guess they should've checked with you first.
How much does this cost and how long does the flight last?
there is something strange, mig 29 has got a limited alar surface and it seems to be quite unrealistic that it cal reach a ceiling higher than 20000 metres
As always things are "Negotiable" for the right price! ;) non officially of course. :)
the cockpit is fully pressurized which negates the need for a suit, unless of course they had to bail at altitude which wouldn't be so nice .
theoretically, I suppose so, however, it takes the whole launch to obtain that speed and as it approaches 36,000mph, gravity is also becoming lesser and lesser... Rockets aren't meant to fly like airplanes though, and pointing one horizontally would not work (no lift).
For sure. I wonder
I was thinking about that when I saw this clip. They must have reasoned that if cabin pressure is lost, so is the aircraft. 72,000 ft is enough for you to die in a matter of seconds.
Considering the service ceiling of a MIG 29 is 60,000 ft I'm calling shinanigans. I never saw an altimeter once to attempt to verify the altitude. If the SR-71 was built for that environment and it's ceiling is approx 85,000 ft I doubt this is an accurate statement. Anybody can title a video. I could have said this was a rich guy at 100,000 ft.
RAdio Detection And Ranging does not need air to work. It's radio waves. Electromagnetic Radiation. If air was required for RADAR, then Radio Astronomy would be impossible.
there is still plenty of air at 72,000ft, his engines would suffocate and fall back to earth long before he got to the point of escaping the gravity well.
There an Amazon link?
Wow. Ive done 61,000 but 72,000???? Crazy man crazy.
No... Not in an airplane.. Jets only carry fuel.. so as they go higher and higher, their jets engines become less and less efficient because there is less air, In order to reach escape velocity (the velocity in which you leave the earth and you're not able to come back) is much greater in magnitude than 1500mph... this is obtained in rockets by carrying both fuel and oxidizers... for example, NASA's New Horizons Spacecraft is the fastest ever launched and has an escape velocity of 36,000 mph
Mig 29 can fly that high?
9 people died from going up into space, while 299 people succeeded
going up into space.
What kind of suit is he wearing?? isnt there an armstrong limit at 62,000 feet
72,000' is no where near "space". The United States considers "space" at 50 miles (just over 80km/264,000')... generally "space" is considered to be 62 miles (100km/380,000')
Well in our defence this programm is for "ordinary" people. Its not like "ordinary" people in Russia can have fighter pilot license and 100+ hours of actual flight time. And scrapping splats from concrete is hard.
I think the beer may be on the verge of boiling off the air pressure being so low!!
Who makes such fighters MiG-29, America or Germany?
if American pilots have to wear full pressure suits and breath O2 for an hour before flying the U2, wouldn't the Russian pilots have to if they are at 70,000 feet? Isn't the physics the same?
Sounds to me like the sound is looping or somthing. . or "WAY" out of sync.
With new engines it can do it easy, 72k+
:D ıf Mig-29 had a engine which can work in space and life support, it would like a X-Wing in space.
No need for space shuttles
would anything bad happen if he flew to the space ?
мечта-машина!
Not likely as he is less then 20 miles high and the low level Satellites are over 100 miles high. The ISS is over 200 miles high. Also his speed is 1500 MPH and Satellites are over 15,000 MPH. A rocket thay could do that would be bigger then what the MIG29 could carry .
bsa7tek rouji le39ouba lina
why does he get away without wearing a pressure suit
The Russians are very good at making high tech fighter jets with high altitude capabilities.examples are the mig 25 mig 105 and mig 31.
at 2:44 it looks like just lost pull of earths gravity and is just drifting away haha
i thought they were speeding up the video.. then i realized he was just going over 1500 mph
One of the rare times when a YT comments section isn't filled with 10 year old morons and actually contain highly insightful and informative comments.
А это не тот же летчик,из известного ролика про посадку самолета без СДУ?
not when mig 29's have presuerized capsules like almost all fighter jets these days
Interesting. So an airplane gets to the edge of space... makes me thinking, if enough research involved maybe we could have soon planes or some other "thing" that could commercially lift off and dock with let's say orbital station.
Wtf does that mean? If you have the money, you too can ride in this plane, or the MIG-25 which goes above 92,000 feet.
I don’t think so, the missiles would need to be specialized to work without air, and have unique software, and lots of other cool science stuff.
In the US, "space" begins at 80.4km (50 miles) or 264,000 feet so Russian's are at a disadvantage over there =P
that's the highest flying farm tractor ever
72,000 feet is above the Armstrong line, if the pressurization failed your blood will boil
if i were him i will brag about it and post it on facebook,
"location: space"
Well the plane itself is nothing more than a fuselage with wings and engines. As proven with the F-15 as long as you have the necessary radar and missile you can do a vertical quick climb and shoot after a satelite. So it's all about the systems and the weapons carried, the plane itself is just the carrier of them. :)
Ну да, кто-то мечтает летать, кому-то хватает бомбить)) в небе одна железная машина оживает и восхищает своей силой и красотой, а другая похожа на лифт: просто поднимается с пассажиром на самый верхний этаж, потом возвращает его обратно
nice
But no need to hate.
I will do this someday....
u2 did this in the 1950s then the a12 at 100000 feet in the 60s then the sr71 with its ceiling still classified and now the sr72 (which they say will be operational in 2018.. lies) the sr72 is currently flying. thats what the new large hangar at area 51 is for. dual cycle hybrid air breathing scramjet.
i like the mig29 because its more of a regular fighter interceptor with high altitude capability.
not a purpose built spy plane
i wish i knew more about russias secret black projects for aviation because russian planes are my favorite.
function over form makes for beautiful planes.
MIg 29 is Fighter...
highest climb in the history ever is made by mig25
I suspect the SR72 currently has a functional field-use prototype flying, but the final model isn't flying yet.
i suspect it has been in the air since 1998 when the sr71 was retired.
even to this day, every year the federal governent allocates funds for tons of jp7 jet fuel.(JP7 was a special fuel blend used only in the blackbird and a12)
why would it need jp7 since the sr71 has been retired since 1998

yeah.
hi dos not wear a presurized suit the kockpit is presurized like in komercial plane he is wearing presure pantse tey fil up with air around his legs and stomach an force blood in his brein otherwise he would passout wen pulling lots of G-s it has nothing to do with the hight off the flighy
it's a tour called edge of space in Russia...
do astronauts wear spacesuits inside the spacecraft??? or.. cosmonauts for that matter?
Um, he's not wearing a pressurized suit so he would be dead. Not 72000 ft, more like 50,000.
