Why does an airplane perform a loop?
For this example, let's say that our glider has a simple clark y airfoil, which produces lift at 0 aoa. 0 aoa=0 lift for symetric airfoil, which is considered good for aerobatics but I don't think it's considered "ideal". Of course. What I meant is that the center of mass (in rc we just call...- jernejk

Why does an airplane perform a loop?
Dear all, I'm a RC-airplane pilot with basic understanding of physics. Recently I've been studying basic aerodynamics and I think I understand the basics. However, I don't entirely understand why an airplane performs a loop and I can't find any references about it. Here's my current...- jernejk
