Why does wingwalking use only biplanes?
3 reasons:
The really obvious one; biplanes had the interplane structural network to hang on to when doing the wing walking. It's a heck of a lot safer for the wing walker. Even today, most of the …

Are loops or rolls allowed in the "utility" category in any US-certified airplane or glider?
The main difference between Utility and Normal category in FAR 23 is spins and the limitation of bank angles in maneuvers. Normal category is banks up to 60 deg and no spins. Utility allows spins if …

What differentiates the entry procedures for spins and snap rolls?
A snap roll isn't a roll. It's an "enhanced" spin, done horizontally.
A normal spin entered from level flight at 1G stall speed has an initial roll component along with the yaw component as the wing …

What G forces does a pilot perceive in a "1 G" barrel roll?
You can't do a barrel roll at 1G. It's a loop pulled out into a coil, and you have to pull pitch to get it started so you are going to be 1.5 to 2 starting out, declining to 1G to .5 at the top, and …

Helicopter hammerhead-like maneuver
If you pull a helicopter into a vertical attitude, you'll have to unload the rotor to maintain the vertical path, since the rotor's down thrust is also part of your forward thrust component, unlike an …

How to prevent altitude loss or keep flight path angle constant while doing aileron maneuver?
An aileron roll is done semi-ballistically, that is, the roll is done while the aircraft is pitched up slightly, the rolled at the maximum rate with elevators neutral, and being completed as the airpl …

Will the C42 or other Ultralights break up on aerobatic manoeuvres?
So its official numbers say it's definitely NOT safe for aerobatics, "legally" speaking. … Most mild aerobatic maneuvers don't need more than 3Gs to complete, so in the hands of an expert who can keep the plane in limits, and at a reduced weight, it's certainly possible to do aerobatics safely …

Whenever I hear a plane throttling down quickly, what is happening visually?
Ok I listened and what you are hearing is a turbine powered ag plane. Most of the rising and decreasing pitch you are hearing that sounds so dramatic is doppler effect from the propeller. The propel …

Forces "felt" by pilot, G-meter, inclinometer--are they the aerodynamic forces generated by ...
It's the acceleration of the object laterally due to a change from a straight path to a curved one. You're just along for the ride. If you are spinning a ball around on a string on a vertical plane, …
