Hollywood action king, Tom Cruise's incredible behind the scene stunt video onboard the Airbus A400M new generation airlifter, for his upcoming action spy film "Rogue Nation", fifth of the Mission Impossible series.

The stunt which was performed before the maiden crash of a A400M in Spain, on May 9, is a big marketing tool for Airbus to reiterate safety of its four engined military transport.

Viewers will see Cruise run across the aircraft’s wing as it taxies for take-off and then cling on as it climbs away from the runway – special panels on the side of the aircraft that normally serve to cut air turbulence around the paratroopers playing an unexpected role as handholds for the actor.

The incredible sequence was shot eight times at RAF Wittering airbase in the UK and Cruise has declared it his most dangerous stunt ever.
