PE = mgh, and that's all you need to fly with no power.

@sonex413 I see. Thanks for the insight.

@hyperthreaded It is the downwards acceleration, not centrifugal force due to rotation. He is beginning the maneuver by pitching the nose up, then he begins the roll. He maintains positive "G" throughout he roll, although in the inverted position it is only partial "G". You would feel light in your seat during the roll, but there would be no tendency to float out of your seat. When he finishes the roll, he is pointing somewhat nose down as a result of holding the positive "G". Hope this helps.

How does this work? Is he accelerating downwards during the roll, or is this actually the centrifugal force keeping the liquid in the cup? For the latter to be working, wouldn't the rotational axis of the roll have to be above the cup, at the ceiling of the cockpit? (so the force actually points towards the floor in the plane's frame of reference, not towards the ceiling) Does this mean that this experiment would not work in a low-wing plane?

"It is my sad duty to tell all of you who read Bob's blog that Bob passed away this past Friday, August 13. How much he will be missed is incalcuable. Thank you all for all the support you have given him. I'm his wife. He was a great man." // He began chemo treatments in January. Born January 24, 1922 - August 13, 2010 •• 88 years of pushing the envelope out over the edge ... and always bring it back.
