Beechcraft 1900 : Pouring a drink & Barrel Roll

[thr33wisemonks]

how nice of him to pour his boyfriend a valentines drink :)

[thr33wisemonks]

i saw u spill a drop

[PA46TP]

@ChizRockster - (a) I can guarantee you will not find this stupid little trick in the AFM of this aircraft, (b) if the owner of this airplane (or when he does), this morons will be out the door so fast, and (c) do you think the FAA would have your same opinion of this absolute disregard for the FARs and common sense? The days of cowboy flying are over for a reason. Want to do aerobatics, get into the proper equipment - don't endanger someone else's assets fooling around - does Costa Conocordi

[PA46TP]

Imbeciles - that is the only thing one can say. That is why you need to thoroughly check the background of corporate/commuter pilots. The day these idiots pay for the iron they fly (and the potential damage they can cause), then they should try it on their own coin. Google up the Hawker that was twisted up by a pair of idiots like these trying to snap roll the thing.

[beergut111]

we'll be reading about these dumbass pilots in accident report someday. Rolling a 1900?....very dumb and illegal.

[ChrizRockster]

@beergut111 - I'm sorry but where did it become illegal? The aircraft is operating within its flight envelope. Its not a high-G manoeuvre of any kind, its a barrel roll. Its a very tough aircraft. I suppose next you'll be saying steep turns are illegal!

[beergut111]

@ChrizRockster a bank beyond 60 degrees or pitch beyond 30 degree is an areobatic maneuver.....requiring parachutes. Not to mention that this is a transport category aircraft in which this stuff is not approved for. Amazing what info you can find if you take the time to research....but you didn't. now you look like an idiot. If you woulda just asked "why" instead of being a jerk i woulda put my answer different.

any questions?

[mynickels]

miller lite?

[ScientificExploits]

I could see the him pushing the nose over a little and getting the guy soaked haha.

[CaptainArt777]

Please don't talk about Bob unless you're also talking about the correct plane that Bob was flying. I know, do you? It was not an Beech 1900D.

[grazydine2]

The centripetal force of the vertical turn exerts the reactionary centrifugal force allowing the trick. G-forces have nothing to do with gravity. The "g" is just used to measure one earth gravitational acceleration of 9.81m/s^2. Two g's is twice that amount and so on.

So now that i've bored you all have a good day. :)

[hunterTS4]

but can you do it and fly at the same time?

[VIR092]

@hunterTS4 Talent.

[dube85]

Freight dogs?

[holywells]

@CaptainMan117 Yes indeed it was. Now let's see if they can do it with the engines shut down. Bob's both engine out aerobatics have never been equaled to this day.

[steinwaygrande1]

@holywells I very much doubt that we will ever see the like of Bob Hoover ever again. There arent that many pilots left who have the skills that Bob Hoover had.

[2ballas]

@steinwaygrande1 iS BOB STILL ALIVE?

[steinwaygrande1]

@2ballas Yes Bob Hoover is very much alive but has retired from flying . He must be in his mid to late 80s. I had the honour of meeting and flying with him back in 1977 and attended one of his courses on how to fly his Shrike Commader and what he had to do inside the cockpit to do all those manouvers with out hitting the ground. He was the consumate professional and a real gentleman who never took anything for granted.

[Dominoes282]

I hope this wasn't found out by accident

[bunyip42]

Loved this video. The Barrel Roll is harder than it looks, I wish I'd taken a video of my first few :-)

[shagadelic1984]

forgive me if i'm wrong but aren't we experiencing 1G when we are in level flight and to do a barrel roll i'm pretty sure we would be experiencing alot more positive G than 1

[mrmoerder]

@shagadelic1984 Bot in a perfectly preformed barrel-roll.If your altittude dosent change, you will still be at 1G

[RobcLM1991]

@mrmoerder by definition of a barrel roll you will change altitude, unless you are confused with an aileron roll

[emipusa]

relativity is relativity

[louisheering]

I have some very interesting photos of 1900s that have been rolled. The skin above the wing on the fuselage is all wrinkled... maybe fun at the time, and yes the aircraft will fly for many years after, but at the end of the day it is jeopardizing other peoples lives!

[shaundiedrinksdew]

rolling an aircraft is not stressful if done right, in fact that is the whole point in this demonstration.

[straighttailpilot]

@louisheering it all depends on the pilot. shoot you could get wrinkles on the wing by pulling a 3 g 60 degree bank. its not the roll that damages it. its the load on the wing.

[coguhani]

I was a passenger on a 1900D here in Sydney once. And for shits and giggles, the pilots decided to do a barrel roll with 16 of us onboard. Felt like shit after, but was a laugh nonetheless. Sydney to Dubbo was a blast! Upside-down is the shiznit!

[nthom1956]

Yes, a 1G maneuver, easier said than done, these pilots made it look easy. Bet if asked they would say Bob Hoover is their inpsiration on how a real pilot can fly an airplane!

[canaanav]

Oh, and 1900's do break in two just sitting on the ground. Hehe.

[trinescape]

wow iam sure you are part bird! as you have an affinety with flying , you sir are a pilot who other pilots aspire to be like well done

[Stangelycoloured]

I trust that was beer.

[jackstani]

@NowKZR its actually 1G. 1G is what we experience in normal conditions on earth everyday hence why the pouring and the liquid act normally. If it was 0 G it would float around as if it where in space.

[BabyLeg42]

for everyone who has said about the 1900 breaking in two because of the barrel roll, Beechcraft makes one of the best and well known aircraft on the market. i am a pilot and i fly my dads king air 350, and i barrel roll the aircraft all the time. it hasnt even come close to feeling like its going to break or anything, its actually very smooth.

[canaanav]

You guys are crazy. The 1900's will break in two.

[archer49d]

@canaanav If they were gonna break in 2 in a 1G roll they would break in 2 sitting on the ground. Go back to grade school.

[canaanav]

@archer49d I know every rivet of the 1900D. I've modified them for military applications, certified them, and flight tested them. I'm an authority on this.

They are not built for aerobatic maneuvers at any speed.

[archer49d]

@canaanav congratulations, you have no understanding of gravity.

[canaanav]

@archer49d Are you telling me that flight loads under 1g normal acceleration are the same as flight loads imposed on the ground? When you say on the 'ground' are you saying like the aircraft is parked at a terminal? You're too dumb. This isn't even a debate.

Please say some more stupid stuff. It is funny. How about fire trucks? Say something stupid and uneducated about fire trucks next.

[archer49d]

@canaanav I'm saying that if the plane is so weak it will break apart in a 1 g roll it would just as well break apart on the ground, in a 1 g roll, the 1900 is approved as a commuter category aircraft and can handle g loads up to 3.2, and down to -1 in the flaps up configuration That's not being exceeded in a 1 g roll.

I bet you think Tex Johnson is an idiot too. Now go back your spanners you spanner.

[canaanav]

@archer49d You did say that 1g in the air is like 1g on the ground. " If they were gonna break in 2 in a 1G roll they would break in 2 sitting on the ground."

How about boats? Do you know any horse shit having to do with boats?

[archer49d]

@canaanav You're an idiot and you can't even read properly.

You're saying I said that 1g in the air is the same as 1g on the ground, I didn't say that, I said it would break in 2 sitting on the ground, air loads aside, if an aiframe is so weak that it can't handle more than 1 g in the air, sooner or later it's gonna be sitting on the ground and break in two. Would you get on an airplane which can't handle more than 1 g in flight? Seems to me like you would, judging by your lack of reason.

[canaanav]

@archer49d

When I design an aircraft I use a checklist:

Step 1) Does it break in two pieces pulling 1G on the ground? If no proceed to step 2.

Step 2) Make sure that the cup holders won't spill drinks during rolls.

Hot air balloons pull 1G. G's are awesome. How many G's does a hot air balloon pull? It would be pretty hard to break a balloon in two on the ground, so it must be good in rolls. What's G again?

[archer49d]

@canaanav Again you're not reading, did I say an aircraft that can't handle more than one G or an airplane... An aircraft covers airplane, baloons, helicopters etc etc, and airplane is something very specific. I don't care what you do when you design an aircraft, I care and know what the aicraft can do after it's built. Before you comment on things learn the nomeclature. Seems like your expertise does't extend beyond pretending you're something you're not on youtube.

[canaanav]

@archer49d What about aircraft that are half the size of Beech 1900's? Can they hand twice as many G's or half as many when they are on the ground?  FYI, you forgot dirigible in the list of flying things you gave me. Can a dirigible pop a wheelee? Hehe. I bet you're smart, huh.

[archer49d]

@canaanav Sir, your stupidity is showing, you claim to be a expert in the field and you are not. Go do whatever you feel necessary to make yourself feel important.

[canaanav]

@archer49d My mom dropped me when I was a baby and I pulled too many G's. I can't help it. I just wish I would have factored in G's before trying to understand flight loads or whether or not a 1900 can safely perform aerobatic maneuvers. Thanks for setting me straight. I'll take into acount how many G's an aircraft pulls on the ground next time.

[luhisslukus]

you're fired....

[Elvarks]

Oh shit, soda all over the instruments, nice maneuver..

[PlasticC4]

Beech 1900 doing a barrel roll

Can a Beech 1900 do a barrel roll before it crashes???

[KSharp320]

@PlasticC4 Yep. 

[damafia29]

wouldn't be as cool a trick if it got in the avionics....pop pop fizzzz

[highwingprop]

but Hoover did it himself WHILE he was flying the plane!

[billandersonful]

Foolish

[italy430]

@billandersonful as every non-pilot would say!

[RobertGary1]

Bob Hoover did this while he was flying. He poured the iced tea backhanded while he rolled the plane full of general in back. The video is on youtube.

[TheOscillatingFan]

go jack off to anime

[Randomness84726]

@A503B201 You should Stay off youtube until you learn to be nice. And do you even know a thing about aviation.

[A503B201]

@Randomness84726 hurr durr, im a DPE, fag. these beechnut 1900 faggits have been reported. enjoy the lulz

[Randomness84726]

@A503B201 oh they seriously have sorry to get all pissed at you

[behindthen0thing]

@A503B201 i somehow doubt you're a dpe, and if so, ..wow very unproffesional

[A503B201]

@behindthen0thing white power

[behindthen0thing]

@A503B201 yeah, not a dpe.

[schlusselmensch]

@A503B201 What the hell is a faggit? Is that like an illiterate jackass? Like you?

[RCShadow]

Bob Hoover was doing that before these guys were born. Your next challenge should be to cut power to both engines (OFF), dive for the deck, do a loop, come back to the runway, and land...Bob Hoover was doing that too before these guys were born.

[italy430]

@RCShadow it's always great when something was first done, that's for sure! however, the flight dynamics are exactly the same as before, physics hasn't changed, it's just as hard. Hoover I believe poured and flew though, which is more impressive than this.

[jesusFreak0321]

@italy430 Yes, but it was in a Shrike Commander, not a 1900... that'd be pretty tough to do.

[italy430]

@jesusFreak0321 i think you're implying that the size of aircraft matters? it actually doesn't... it depends on the force required to manoeuvre it. im guessing they wouldn't be too different

[schlusselmensch]

@RCShadow I think you have to throw in at least an 8 point roll as well?

[Randomness84726]

HOW?!

[highwingprop]

it's a 1G maneuver, so even though we visually see that we rolled, the gravity is still exerted from top down in the same manner as if we're standing on a street.

[NowKZR]

@highwingprop 0G.

[gbrob91]

@highwingprop a barrel roll is definitely more than a 1G maneuver!

[pacrat90]

@highwingprop you mean negative 1 G ?

[VIR092]

@highwingprop That's not gravity that keeps you in your seat, it's the positive normal acceleration from the angular motion of the aircraft in the rolling maneuver.

[Keys879]

Physics my dear Watson!

[onelife11]

great!!!

[jonny2387]

N*****

[jesusFreak0321]

That must be Gulfstream....

[pilotsep27]

@jesusFreak0321 Its a Beechcraft.

[jesusFreak0321]

@pilotsep27 LOL, not what I was saying. Gulfstream International Airlines, not the aircraft manufacturer. It was a joke aimed at that sorry excuse for a "training academy."

[runway34r]

cool (is that beer? :P)
