No, you haven't. It's impossible to hold altitude in a 90° bank.

Sorry, you are wrong. You are presuming that the wings are the only
source of lift on an aircraft. As the original poster said, there
were airshow acts that use the side of the fuselage coupled with a
LOT of power to maintain knifedge level flight.

There's more to aerodynamics than Microsoft would lend you to beleive.

You gotta give the boy ( or girl?)some credit for his intelligence and
enquiring mind. But the attitude that goes with it is really something. I
just hope he sticks to flight simming and not the real thing.

He wouldn't last long actually flying. He'd prove Darwin correct when the
airplane doesn't respond like it should (based on his sim experience).

Wings are the only things under discussion in such theoretical
scenarios.

I'm sure you could use helium balloons, too, but that isn't an
automatic assumption because it is not universally true.

I don't see any connection with Microsoft here.

No. Whether planes can fly a knife edge is. And, you didn't understand how
this is done.

It isn't even a suggestion.

Did you lose every argument as a child? Is that why you live in a fantasy
world where computer simulation defines your reality?
