Is there ever a time when pulling more g does not rob airspeed? I've
not experienced any case where more g does not take energy...


Cheers


The ability to pull g will produce a lot of things including turn rate
and radius depending on where the aircraft is in relation to it's
specific excess power available. You will lose airspeed to g as
induced drag increases, so an energy loss as you have indicated.
Thrust is the equalizer if available. *The combination of all these
factors determines where the aircraft is at any moment in three
dimensional space. Create positive g and counter that with thrust and
you have a positive Ps and the ability to accelerate, turn or climb in
that area of your envelope. Create g that can't be countered by thrust
and you do indeed lose airspeed. The turn you are generating drags the
aircraft back toward it's neutral Ps=0 line for those conditions and
any g generated beyond that point will result in a negative Ps. With
negative energy rate being generated, something has to give. That will
usually be altitude.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzt! The correct answer was No, Hemingway.


I'm sure it would be, at your level of understanding.
Tell me Maxie,will you EVER have anything useful to contribute other
than this constant display of ignorance?
