Default Myth: 1 G barrel rolls are impossible.

Would it be possible to maintain 1g in the seat if the "corkscrew"

No.

Maybe slip to the right while pulling the nose up to induce
acceleration of 1g. You would continue this maneuver, gradually
flattening the spiral as gravity takes over the acceleration into the
seat until you are again straight and level. You would never "climb"
against gravity at any point since that would create an acceleration
above 1g.


Any time your vertical speed increases positively, you are above 1 G.


Nope.
