  2. Aerobatic maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobatic_maneuver

    Both the inside and outside loop are sometimes casually referred to as a 'loop the loop'. Outside loop A vertical circle entered from straight and erect level flight, canopy pointing out of the loop. Loop can be above or below the straight and level entry altitude, from erect or inverted attitude. (Draws extreme negative G) English bunt

  3. Load factor (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_factor_(aeronautics)

    If the term load factor is omitted then g is used instead, as in "pulling a 3 g turn". [2]: § 14.3 A load factor greater than 1 will cause the stall speed to increase by a factor equal to the square root of the load factor.

  4. HangTime (roller coaster) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HangTime_(roller_coaster)

    The train reaches a max speed of 57 miles per hour (92 km/h) and heads through a negative-g stall loop, a one-of-a-kind inversion. This inversion is similar to a Norwegian loop, except the train enters a non-inverted dive loop followed by a sidewinder before exiting in the opposite direction. The train moves through a corkscrew and a cutback.

  5. List of roller coaster elements - Wikipedia

    The vertical loop on Full Throttle is one of the world's tallest and largest at 160 feet (49 m) A vertical loop is one of the earliest and most common roller coaster inversions in existence. It is a continuous, upward-sloping section of track that eventually completes a 360-degree turn, inverting riders halfway into the element.

  6. Maneuvering speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuvering_speed

    Note the 1g stall speed, and the Maneuvering Speed (Corner Speed) for both positive and negative g. The maximum “never-exceed” placard dive speeds are determined for smooth air only. In aviation, the maneuvering speed of an aircraft is an airspeed limitation at which the full deflection of the controls can be made at without risking ...

  7. Miss Shilling's orifice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Shilling's_orifice

    The Rolls-Royce Merlin engine originally came with a direct carburettor, prone to cut-out due to fuel flooding in negative G. Miss Shilling's orifice was a very simple technical device created to counter engine cut-outs experienced during negative G manoeuvres in early Spitfire and Hurricane fighter aeroplanes during the Battle of Britain.

  8. Aresti Catalog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aresti_Catalog

    The Aresti Catalog is the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) standards document enumerating the aerobatic manoeuvers permitted in aerobatic competition.Designed by Spanish aviator Colonel José Luis Aresti Aguirre (1919–2003), each figure in the catalog is represented by lines, arrows, geometric shapes and numbers representing the precise form of a manoeuver to be flown.

  9. Immelmann turn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immelmann_turn

    In modern aerobatics, this maneuver, if executed pre-stall with a non-zero turning radius at the top of the climb, is known as a wingover. If the rudder turn is executed right at the initiation of the stall, the resulting yaw occurs around a point within the aircraft's wingspan and the maneuver is known as a stall turn or hammerhead.
