I've seen that before. Its from a commercial. You can hear the
announcer at the end start to say something. I'm pretty sure it's
been doctored at least somewhat.

I remember seeing somewhere that it was a (large) RC model
airplane. IMO
that would seem to account for the apparent physics of the bounces.

That seems like the best explanation. I noticed it says T & W Air on
the fuselage. I can't find any trace of that as a Chinese airline on
the web. But if it's an RC plane, the video must have been doctored
to add the smoke from the tires. I don't think you would get that
much smoke from an RC size plane.

Agreed.

It looks totally photoshopped to me (or CGI).

I doubt that an RC plane--or any full scale!--could plant the mains
like that and get that much of a bounce out of the nose wheel.

If the pilot was on the brakes hard and the airspeed was low enough so
the horizontal tail didn't dampen some of the motion, I think it would
be possible to generate one of these pogo like cycles.

Then the nose gear would fail...


Wel,it would almost certainly have sustained some damage. but it's
pretty hard to get it to fail.

Though this guy did..
