You can't do a roll and retain 1 G positive throughout the roll. Actually, you can't do ANY maneuver and maintain exactly 1G. The G's you feel are the sum of the Earth's gravity and your acceleration. Since the Earth's gravity is always 1G, if your total G force is always 1G, then your acceleration must be zero, and you can not change your flight path. You can certainly maintain positive G's through maneuvers (even inverted), and you can certainly maintain something close to 1G though maneuvers, but you cannot maintain exactly 1G through the whole thing. |
