I'm sure others here can answer some of your questions better that I can, or suggest resource materials to look at. I think you should continue to post here for ATC questions and the like. Watch Kelsey's Hollywood Reviews on his YouTube channel, he puts on a clinic for screenwriters! Just try to keep it from being too "hollywood" silly and you're golden. Your goal is to suspend disbelief with good storytelling. But the phrase 'do a barrel roll' can be traced to a feature in the 1997 video game Star Fox 64, in which Peppy Hare orders the player to 'do a barrel roll' while approaching four stationary. But remember, you're writing something to entertain people, and you want as many people to read it as possible (or see the movie), so you can't be too worried about pleasing a tiny group of pilots. The move combined a loop and a roll and was named so because it made the aircraft appear as though it were doing a loop inside a barrel laid on its side. Beyond that, any loops or slit-s type stuff would look silly to us pilots. You could throw in a roll or two for effect, but it's not really a dogfighting maneuver. It would be a slow-ish affair with a lot of steep banks, chandelles and basic maneuvers. Yes, a C-5 and C-17 could have a dogfight. ![]() That sounds cool! I like where you're going with this. I've actually done some aviation movie work and a fair amount of consulting for film shoots using aircraft (movies, TV shows, commercials.etc.) So, ask away! You're getting shot down no matter what you do. In the second scenario (air to air), well, FRED is toast. Believe it or not, the FRED is quite maneuverable for a flying building, especially the C-5M we're flying now. A barrel roll is somewhat unique among aerobatic maneuvers as the aircraft doesnt know that it is doing anything other than level flighta properly. In the first scenario, the C-5 would do well. In that situation, you're doing two things trying to avoid getting hit, and trying to gain the advantage by getting behind your adversary. Same goes for air to air combat, without the decent though. Any opinions expressed in the examples do not represent those of. Steep banks, and usually descending as low as possible to put something between you and the gun (hills, trees, buildings). The meaning of BARREL ROLL is an airplane maneuver in which a complete revolution about. To avoid gunfire from the ground, pilots do something called jinking that is to change direction quickly and erratically. Do A Barrel Roll is an catchphrase used to instruct someone to perform a 360 degree horizontal spin. Those maneuvers just make you a better target. Kind of an aeronautical palindrome, looks the same right side up as upside down.Īs for the question about rolls and loops, all I can say is I wouldn't do either of those to avoid gunfire. Did you notice the registration number of the Shrike he flew in that video? N9006N. I flew with him in the Shrike, N500RA, back when it was still wearing the orange/brown over white paint scheme (yes, I'm old). ![]()
