1 dislike from a guy with a Cessna that tried it and ruined his gauge cluster during mid flight...

Rolling planes is cool. I'd pay extra for air travel if you got to do a barrel roll.

[CaptainEpic]

sure, in the same way you gain mass while walking

Newtonian Physics is how the water stayed, but isn't his altitude and speed slowing time down for him?

How is this general relativity. There is nothing to do with time distortion here. DOn't you mean Newtonian Physics?

[Staytheredoggy]

theory of general relativity at its finest

[hyperthreaded]

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

An aileron is a straight 360 degree roll without changing the yaw or pitch, but in a barrel roll you perform a half loop half roll, as if flying alongside the inside of a barrel in a corkscrew, thus providing the proper Gs to keep the rotation and force of all objects in relation to the plane.

In a barrel roll, the axis of rotation is located above the plane. Try it with a model or anything for that matter. You're not just rolling the aircraft, you're rolling the aircraft around an external point, hence the term "Barrel" roll.

OUTSTANDING!
