Default Myth: 1 G barrel rolls are impossible.

Hey, asshole- how about rolls on the vertical, either up or down? The
plane is climbing or descending, while maintaining one g througout.
There is no change in the g forces associated with the roll.


That cannot be done, unless the entire frame of reference is in free
fall, which it isn't. If the frame of reference of the roll is not
falling at 1 G acceleration, it is impossible to maintain exactly one
G while moving up or down.


You're an idiot.
