For some people this is pretty common stuff but if I would see that one flying like this past by me .. I’d freak.

The blades are pitch controlled and are still working like airplane wings.

The turbine engines are vectored downward on each side of the chassis, giving it partial lift.

The pilot is smart enough to utilize his forward momentum to keep his airspeed up.

It’s also obvious that he’s still losing altitude, although gracefully.

Probably not a recommended procedure, but seems to demonstrate the survivability of the aircraft.
