Scuzi said:I've barrel rolled a BA 777-200 once and although we lost about 10,000ft in hte process, it still worked
When I say BA 777-200, I mean the BA 777-200 full motion simulator btw
Visage said:Wouldnt that break the pistions in the simulator, what with trying to turn it over and all?
Scuzi said:As far as I remember it got so far into the bank, about 60 degrees IIRC and stopped whilst the screen continued. It was a very weird sensation as that particular sim is extremely convincing, it really does trick you into thinking you're in the air.
Visage said:Thats rubbish - I had visions of it breaking and the whole thing rolling out of the door.....gutted is not the word....
SteveOBHave said:I seem to remember footage of the Concord doing a barrel roll. Can't seem to find it on the Interweb.
IainB said:Having been on a few test flights after major structural work you would be very suprised at what an airliner could do.... mainly the old 737's (Britannia Airways was the first company to actually rebuild one away from Boeing) but by golly they can be thrown about a bit, a LOT stronger than most people think
