It was as fake as one of Kevin Rudd's promises. -- Regards, Noddy.

A regular roll, where an aircraft goes through 360 degrees on it's roll axis only, is a basic 1g manoeuvre that just about anything with wings is safely capable of, but a barrel roll is another ball game entirely. In a barrel roll, the aircraft normally first pitches up fairly hard and *then* rolls through 360 degrees in a kind of "corkscrew" motion. This places significantly more strain on the airframe than a regular roll, and is a routine usually limited to aircraft capable of aerobatic manoeuvres. Attempting one in something that isn't could see the wing tips clap hands and the aircraft become a smoking hole in the ground. -- Regards, Noddy.

Makes sense, why risk a car, driver and support crew and it's associated costs when a nerd or two behind a PC could probably knock money shot up in CGI in less than a day. |
