@raulox71 No. The stress upon the airframe would exceed it's maximum load specs. To avoid catastrophic airframe failure you would have to increase the radius of the loop. However, there would not be enough altitude to do this due to the negative thrust-to-weight ratio; you would end up stalling.
I was thinking more a time limit, i.e most light aircraft can handle inverted flight for about 5 seconds before the fuel reservoirs run out (if they rely on gravity to feed the fuel to the engine) i was wondering how long the reservoirs would last in a 747
in that case, you might need to contact boeing lol :). But i think that on most airliners the fuel pumps handle 0 gravity situations: they are built so incase they stall, they dont lose engine power.
yup. and most small sport planes/light aircraft are certified for high positive and negative G loads, i dont think the fuel will stop flowing to the engine. but yes, many planes cant be upside down for too long
and hes right. i thought you were talking about light sport aircraft that support high G loads. yes, many aircraft used for training might sputter out. i cant remember if the 172 will, although they are rated for intentional spins and stalls i think.....
can be done. I used to work for boeing and they showed us a video of a 747 doing a loop and a roll. The loop started at 35000 ft and and ended at 14000 ft.
This maneuver is impossible in real life only because the flight computers won't let you do it. A properly-executed roll will not place more stress on the airframe than the 747 was designed to handle. You'd have a good chance of turning it into a giant lawn-dart, though....
Icebird1961, this is a childish game. This a simulation game that give us civians a taste of being a pilot. Technically this is type of games that pilots might play.
Do you know what kind of forces results in a loop? Braking wings will only occure if G forces are too much. I saw Boeing tests at 12G before braking th wings.
Btw, looping, if well done, has no consequences to the airplane structures.

It looks more like a backwards stall turn than a loop...

Now try it with a PMDG 747. And realism to max with damage and crash fully on. No way you'll pull that out again.

@CommanderDenton PMDG 737-900 looped nicely with maxed out realism on FS2004, at least. I don't have PMDG 747, so can't try that one.

It could be done, but won't be really good for the plane itself.
The construction is not designed to make loopings, tensile is too high.
Flystand 3 years ago
OMG. your not making a looping! at 1:25, when the aircraft is on its back, you can see the contrails going up..
this basicly means that the aircraft is pitching around its top axis, while falling back to earth

The airframe will be overstressed. A 747 can barely do a barrel-role.
