Bob Hoover "knew" and not only to be modest:
That's why his Commander was certified to perform Aerobatics.
His aircraft was built with stronger spars and stab and was certified by the FAA for loops and rolls (so old Bob could perform with it and sell more of them. He was after all their sales rep)

Some very interesting comments showing up in this thread, makes me wonder just how well trained some people are (and do they know the B190?)

True alot have this system but alot also have AHRS therefore no need no hit the fast errect!

"Normal professional pilots r not trained for that, unlike you cowboys who bend the wings and then put other pilots life in danger when they fly the aeroplanes after you...........

You a commercial pilot, act like one!!!!"

HMMMMMMMMMMMM funny I'm a professional pilot and have 400+ hours doing aeros and teaching them and infact plenty of people I work with have many hours aeros or at very least a basic aeros rating. I think if you want to be a professional pilot you should cover as many aspects of flying as possible! Including aeros, tail wheel time ect

Eveything aside what was done in the video wasn't smart (dumb actually). However they seemed to be at a safe altitude and it appears the roll was done smoothly (I wasn't there!).

G limitations for the B190 +3G and -1.2G flaps up to exceed these they would have had to stuff it up, they didn't.

Before I get slagged I'm not defending what was done and even though I could do it and have confidence the plane would do it theres no way you would catch me doing it. After all we are professional pilots.

The vid was coll though, HAHAHA

But we don't know about those done for practice before

Jislaaik maar jy kan kak praat!

I don't know about you pal, but last time I did a barrel roll it was in a straight line, with narry a 90 degree turn to be seen.

But if that's the way you want to do them, knock yourself out!

And while you're about it, explain exactly where the loop comes into the maneuver? I'd be awfully curious to learn about that!!!

What was that about knowing your GEN???

Bob Hoover sometimes used standard planes with no mods except for the unfeathering system and larger accumulator fitted.

I don't know much about barrel rolls (did some in a Harvard, thats it) etc - but if you used the elevator, I don't see how it could have been in a straight line.

A proper barrel roll is a combination of a loop and a roll. Imagine a corkscrew and you'll get the idea. When inverted, i.e. top of the 'loop', the aircraft has rolled 90deg off original heading, and rolls back to the original heading while completing the 'loop'. What you see in the video is a straight roll, where the aircraft rotates 360deg aroung the longitudinal axis.

Did many of both while learning to fly in days of yore. Of course, terminology may have changed since those days; alas, lots of things are no longer what they used to be, and a 'barrel roll' nowadays is a reference to a specific sexual technique.........but that's not really pertinent to this forum!!

Yup, thats how it was told to me as well, the one time I did it. I remember when the instructor started describing it, I was thinking 'Geez, this sounds way more complicated than I originally thought!' My original thoughts were something along the lines of 'a barrel roll is like an aileron roll, with back stick pressure'. It turned out it wasn't.

Eeeesh, I will consider my smart a$$ corrected My apologies IRP

Although what's it they say about the similarity between arguing on the internet and being in the special olympics? In both cases, even if you win you're still retarded!

Some wek, very little money!

Apology accepted bru, he says while mumbling something about the difference between arguing and facts, before sticking an ice cream into his forehead...

The difference between the first and the last video, is this. The a/c in the last video was flown by a professional airshow/demonstration pilot.
