The Most Spectacular DIY Challenge

This sounds like one of the greatest monumental challenges of all times: "Can a compact 12 V cordless power driver pull an Airbus A380?".
You think you know the answer already: No. That won’t work. After all, this is no model toy. We are talking about a real aircraft - namely the largest passenger aircraft in the world. But, stay cool and don't be so quick to judge. First of all, take a look at both unique machines.

The Biggest Passenger Aircraft in the World

The A380 is a living legend in aviation. Owing to its seating capacity for more than 800 people, the 24.1-meter-high, double-decker giant can move a small village from one continent to another without stopovers. It has a wingspan of approximately 79 meters: just a penalty kick shorter than the minimum length of a FIFA football pitch. The plane’s four massive turbines each deliver 70,000 lbs thrust performance. The king of all passenger aircraft weighs over 300,000 kilos when fully laden and fully fueled.

Physics That Amaze

The expert and physics enthusiast Niklas Kolorz accompanied this spectacular stunt: “This absolutely crazy stunt just shows what a punch that small powerhouse can pack. Not only are PARKSIDE products good value for money, above all they are amazingly powerful and resilient.” 
See for yourself and marvel at the power of the “PPBSSA 12 BF24 A1” 12 V cordless power driver.
