Overview
- Red Bull says the stunt was executed on February 15, 2026 in Afyonkarahisar, Türkiye, using a single-seat Zivko Edge 540.
- Costa matched a freight train traveling about 120 km/h by slowing to roughly 87 km/h, completing approach, near-blind touchdown and a vertical climb in about 50 seconds over a 2.5 km stretch.
- He touched down on the ninth container, with the landing platform largely outside his view during the final moments.
- The aircraft carried no major structural changes and was optimized for low-speed control with two strakes and six small vortex generators.
- Red Bull and partner media frame the maneuver as a first for aviation following months of simulations, cognitive training in Thalgau and moving-platform trials in Pula, and independent regulatory verification has not been reported.
