Don't Snap Roll A Hawker

[pullup]

Don't be a wuss, roll the damn airplane and deal with the outcome like a man.

Personally, I wouldn't, but the willingness to do so is very strange.

Give me an empty airplane, written permission from My Employer and Our Regulator to mess around, the competent supervision of an Embraer factory test pilot, and I might do some very gentle aerobatics (think Mr. Hoover and his pitcher of water), but snaprolls are right out.

But none of that will be happening anytime soon. And even if all of it did, you'd better believe I would not have a GoPro video on YouTube about it. "OMG DANGEROUS."

Just don't ask for any extra "maneuvering fuel."

Hoover's tea pouring flight was a barrel roll, a graceful maneuver in which the vector of the load factor keeps you squarely in your seat, pretty constant positive g load.

A quick aileron roll can knock the slobber out of your mouth, as your big head chases your body.

I've done both, although not in anything with enough roll rate to knock anything out of anyone's mouth. But big head? Really? Have I offended you in some way?

I'm pretty sure he meant ANYONE'S head, which would feel like a big heavy bowling ball flopping around on your shoulders as you roll rapidly.

I was trying to illustrate the side forces at play in roll, nothing was directed at you.

If it's good enough for Denzel, it's good enough for me.

Thanks, my mistake.
