The French and German Eurocopter Tiger can perform a complete roll, a complete loop, as well as two manoeuvres they showed at the Paris Air Show this year. Starting from stationary flight (hovering), it can perform a half-roll, then recover with a half loop, and still starting from stationary flight, it performs a rotation (half-turn) along its pitch axis and ends with a half loop again. I've seen it do that, it's unbelievable yet true. -- Jorge Van Hemelryck _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
