Hi Wiz,

Yes I have considered these.

Unless the elevator lift shaft was infinitely long - I'd realise I was standing on the roof shortly after we hit planet earth and stopped. I've been standing in the present lift shaft for a lifetime and it doesn't hurt yet - so I guess I'm standing on the floor and it's stationary- but in earth's gravitational field.

The aircraft would have to pull 1G towards earth - so it will fly the same AofA as it would in level flight the normal way up (wheels towards earth).
