Hoax !!

If you look close the plane could never make that maneuver with the light pole in that position.

Now that you mentioned it, I noted it too. There was also a plane in the gif.

Hmmm slow news day eh?

[mrturbo]

Awwww peter you spoil it for me, I thought it was real

Them girls are sure dancing quite a ditty.

Remember, a plane needs to fly to stay up in the sky, the top of the wing creates LIFT so when it is flying up side down, where will the lift go,, D-O-W-N and down goes the plane. Should have focused more on the girls.

94,712 posts and they come up with that. Maybe they are practicing for April 1.

Ref Ozyjon, you never heard of thrust, does not matter where your your wings are.

Power is altitude

Been flying for donkey years, does not mean the film means a thing to me.

Take it from one that knows all fighter planes can fly up side down.

Took me 3 hours to clean back seat after a pilot got revenge.

A 747 can fly upside down. But it is not recommended. However this clip is bogus of course.

But it is not the plane I am looking at. I am more interested looking at the 4 women below

I can't speak for the 747 but do agree some 'medium and heavy' aircraft can fly inverted.

Air frame designers try to factor in any flight scenario during design of the aircraft.

Certainly it's desirable for planes to fly normally but it's also desirable for aircraft to remain intact if something catastrophic happens which might initiate unforeseen flight behaviour. Inversion or cork screwing induce phenomenal stress loading on the wings and fuselage, so flight may not be prolonged !!

I liked the post which stated wing design meant an inverted aircraft would necessarily plummet to earth.

As pointed out, aircraft only gain flight when sufficient thrust forces air around and under the wing to create lift. Since air is present during normal flight or inversion, it's therefore logical for flight to be possible either way,albeit trim would be reversed, as would column control, to avoid said plummeting !

Still, this was a nice piece of trickery that got a few of us thinking.

Your not really serious?

[jacko45k]

I am sure Mr Branson loves his business being portrayed that way.

We all hate fly arounds!

[PatOngo]

Could you please remove this immediately before Thai Airways pilots get any wild ideas into their heads!

[SouthernMan3]

You mean there's a plane in the clip ?

[Frank James]

Denzel Washington can fly a jetliner upside down, after drinking, shagging, and tooting all night long. Check his act out in "Flight." Even Chuck Norris can't touch that!
