[VIDEO] Boeing also released a video of the pilots rehearsing the routine. There's an overhead view of the takeoff - that's a lot steeper than 30 degrees, unless it's a perspective trick. EDIT: 50-55 degrees seems to the actual pitch angle.

What were you doing Tex? I was selling airplanes. [LINK] Here's Boeing, doing a 'near vertical' takeoff in the Dreamliner (spoilers: not really but still impressive), also presumably selling airplanes. [VIDEO]
