The video that puts YOU inside the cockpit: Just hang onto your stomach when you watch this amazing footage

During the virtual trip, viewers are flown to 40,000ft on board a Typhoon jet

The video then shows the jet dropping to 250ft above the Welsh valleys

Viewers are also flipped upside down during a series of formation flights



It is on display at the London Science Museum's Typhoon Force simulator



Top Gun fuelled a generation of wannabe fighter pilots, but the film was the closest many of us will ever come to taking to the skies in a jet - until now.

An amazing and somewhat nausea-inducing video has been filmed on board an RAF Typhoon jet that reveals exactly what it’s like to sit onboard a supersonic fighter plane.

During the six-minute virtual trip, the pilot is shown flipping upside down as he soars across the Lake District and Welsh valleys between 250ft and 40,000ft.

During the six-minute virtual trip, the pilot is shown being flipped upside down as he soars between 250ft and 40,000ft above the Lake District and Welsh valleys, pictured. It was filmed by Metropolis Entertainment, which owns the simulator, and the jet is piloted by Flight Lieutenant Jamie Norris

THE TYPHOON FIGHTER JET

The two-seater Typhoon multirole jet fighter belongs to the 29 Squadron of the Royal Air Force at RAF Coningsby. It has a twin-engine and canard-delta wing. Development of the aircraft began in 1983 and a prototype took its first flight in March 1994.

The Typhoon has a wingspan of 36ft, is 52ft long and 17ft tall.

It can reach maximum speeds of Mach 2 at altitude and Mach 1.25 at sea level.

The jet in the video is piloted by Flight Lieutenant Jamie Norris, who also gives a brief introduction at the start of the simulation.

During the clip, the pilot flies to 40,000ft before making a descent to 250ft.



Viewers are then taken on a low-level tour of the Welsh countryside and the Lake District.

This is followed by a series of flips and turns during formation manoeuvres before the jet is shown coming into land at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire.

The Typhoon jet has a twin-engine and canard-delta wing. It was designed and manufactured by BAE Systems, Airbus Group and Alenia Aermacchi.

Development of the aircraft began in 1983 and a prototype took its first flight in March 1994.



The Eurofighter became officially known as Typhoon in September 1998.

'The video gives you the backseat cockpit view of an ultra-low flight RAF's Typhoon frontline jet fighter,' explained the video producers Metropolis Entertainment.

'The sights are incredible, the speed is fierce and the turns are just ridiculous. What a powerful machine.'

As of January 2013, there have been 571 versions of the jet ordered for various missions across Europe.
