Depending on type of aircraft (fighter or GA) the nose makes a circle around a point. Fighters can do at cruise with little or no nose above the horizon. GA requires a start with the nose above the horizon due to slower rate of roll and bird ending up nose low because no other control input to hold nose up while inverted is used The question for me -- and what prompted my earlier posting(s) -- is whether it's possible to do a standard aileron roll and get negative G's (or non-positive G's, to be precise). The puny GA planes I fly all have positive G forces all the way around an aileron roll (unless you do something funny with elevator and / or rudder), but is that true of all aircraft? Hamish |
