'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

If you consider 30 degrees nose up vertical I guess.
Clever camera angles. I could mimic this in the 767 with a light fuel load a VR/V2 overspeed and full TO thrust.
Looks cool but it doesn't really have much application when it comes to selling aircraft to airlines.

Always puzzled me that you'd expensively fly an expensive airframe to an airshow and expensively fly it around in a circle to convince the bean counters that your seat-mile cost was the lowest available...

I'm very sure they are also trying to sell to 'Joe Public' just to prove they can't break it ..... Yet :D
