When an aeroplane fly with a slope to horizon, the body in it don't feel the same incline and bend. (without acceleration) Does anybody know the reason?

Though, if it's a stunt plane and cruising in an inverted position, put your faith in the harness. Um, also your body.

Actually, I think, our Australian members could answer this question best.

This also depends on the skill of the pilot. It is entirely possible to fly with wings at a slant with the force of gravity through the center of the earth. Pilots are taught to pull back on the stick so that the resultant forces push you directly into your seat.

A man who flys a plane upside down will always have crack up.

Same reason you dont fall off a motorbike
when going round corners.......you are going very fast, and only
in that situation for a very little time, the seatbelt in an aeroplane also
helps!

I think everybody but drewdad missed the point. The wings create lift, so a plane flying upsidedown should have reverse lift and be pulled downward. But, as drewdad points out, the pilot pulls up on the stick to counteract the negative lift.

If the pilot pulls up on the stick while the plane is flying upside down I'm going for the parachute. Unless I'm in a stunt plane WAY above the ground that is.

Oh, that manouver is okay, Einherjar. Go inverted, pull back stick, and go into the most incredible power dive. The purpose is to have the g forces pushing you into the seat. A good pilot can handle 7 or 9 g's, or thereabouts with out blacking out. Do the same dive without inverting and the blood rushes to the head. You get "red out", and no p suit made will squeeze your head enough to prevent it.

ci says 'harness and centrifugal force"....I guess
this is why people dont fall out of those rides at an amusement park in which the participants stand upright with harnesses and are rotated 360 degrees at high speed......

You're right, Einherjar. I got it backwards. You would push the stick forward so the upsidedown plane would try to go upwards counteracting the negative lift. I guess that would work. If you didn't do that the negative lift would reinforce the pull of the gravity downward. I'm just winging it here since I've actually never flown an airplane, and if I ever do I'm bringing two parachutes.

I just won't fly when you're piloting the plane. No parachutes needed. LOL
