Can 737 DO loops?

Can 737 DO loops?

So, in the case of the 737, the answer is a resolute no.

How many knots can a 747 go?

For mid-size aircraft such as Airbus A330 and Boeing 757/767/777/787, takeoff is in the range of 140–165 knots*. For larger double deckers such as Boeing 747 and Airbus A380, takeoff is in the range of 145–175 knots*.

Can an airliner barrel roll?

Most aircraft can complete a slow barrel roll along a horizontal axis without stressing the airframe (although they will lose a bit of altitude). This is because the forces exerted on the aircraft is the same throughout the manoeuvre.

Is it possible to barrel roll a 747?

A very comfortable maneuver and easily doable in almost any airplane, including a 747. A barrel roll requires significant g-loading. It is a roll around a point considerably off the longitudinal and pitch axis of the airplane. Typically, it’s a 3–4 g maneuver.

Can a Learjet do a barrel roll?

Learjets have been rolled before, but we have never seen anything like this. Private jets are not intended to be thrown around like aerobatic aircraft, but there have been plenty of stunts performed by brazen pilots over the years. This is an area of an aircraft’s flight envelope where there is very little forgiveness.

What plane is bigger 747 or 777?

The 777 is both longer in length than the 747, as well as having a longer wingspan. No surprisingly, the 777 is shorter than the 747, however, it isn’t as short as you’d expect, it’s only three feet shorter.

Can an airliner fly inverted?

The answer is yes for a “little” bit! Unlike military fighters, commercial planes do not have the engine power for sustained inverted flight and rely on lift from the wings. Commercial airliners are only tested and certified for upright flight.” However, one Boeing aircraft has flown upside down – twice!

Is it possible to fly a Boeing 747 upside down?

Short answer yes any aircraft can be flown upside down if properly equipped. Long answer no. You need inverted fuel, and oil system which the 747 doesn’t have. You possibly could get it upside down but your engines would flame out immediately. If you had enough altitude and you knew what you were doing you could roll it up right.

Why can’t planes make an outside loop?

Boeing suspects its planes could make it, but since no one has ever been silly enough to try, there’s no way of knowing for sure. An outside loop is much much more stressful on airframe and pilots as it involves negative G. Airliners have flight envelopes that have much less capability under negative G.

Why don’t they make inside loops in aerobatics?

They are not designed for aerobatics. Design limit loads of 2.5g are too low for performing inside loops. Ultimate load is 1.5 times limit load = 3.75 g, which could be enough for an inside loop if expertly done, eating into the safety margin and playing with structural failure and death.

Can a large passenger jet perform a barrel roll?

We put this firstly to Disk Schleh, of Boeing Commercial Airplanes in Seattle, Washington: Well a large passenger jet such as the Boeing 747 or almost, almost any large passenger jetliner was not designed nor was it tested, nor was it certified to perform aerobatic manoeuvres like a loop-the-loop or a barrel roll.
