And in a true aileron roll you pull one negative G to hold the point while
inverted. A little tough with an air carrier machine. -- B-58 Hustler History: http://members.cox.net/dschmidt1/ - I don't know how anyone looking at that tape, who has done the manuevers we're speaking of, could confuse one with the other. As you've said Dudley, the -80 (which I had the pleasure of seeing up close on Mothers Day weekend) did not have the roll authority to do an aileron roll. Those little tiny ailerons couldn't provide enough asymetic energy. Half way through the crew would have been looking straight down at Lake WASHINGTON (thanks Pete!). Now maybe that would have been more impressive, but it would've taken one hell of an altitude to start and the folks on the ground might not have been able to even see the entry. I've "aileron" rolled a large aircraft ( 250,000 lbs) a few times but it didn't depend on ailerons for the manuever. The B-1B used a split stab for primary roll authority and that was one huge, split "aileron" that provided enough energy to roll the aircraft without the Split S and the problems that would bring to a large airframe. Have a pleasant weekend fellas!! Stepping off the battlefied, Jim |
