I hope you all are sitting down. I found possible flyover paths posted by Craig March 26th
Anyone want to take a guess at the bank angle and G required for those turns?
It hurts to even think about it!

Its a good thing that most people do in fact sit while using the computer.
Maybe fighter could be developed that could turn like that, but would the pilot survive?
Anyone wonder if maybe he's sorry he ever heard of CIT about now?
hmmm, there I was sticking to the 780 f/s model. I was envisioning vectored thrust, perhaps even manouvering rockets.AWSmith posts;
or maybe,.a dirigible pilot?
Have you considered grappling hook harpoons fired laterally from the wingtips?
They're just the thing, for those tight turns close to the ground.
(Don't forget to use some extra glue where the wings attach to the fuselage, to deal with the centripetal forces involved.)

I think he's going through something like this:
"But how can you stop people seeing the inside job?" cried Rob again momentarily forgetting the dial. "It is involuntary. It is outside oneself. How can you control arithmetic? You have not controlled mine!"

Mythbusters tested this approach on automobiles. It's impossible. The sudden impulse is enough to destroy any reasonable line, and by inference, any attachment point likely to be found on an airframe. This problem will only increase with speed.
Cool show, that was.![]()

Let's see, now. We have a two-page thread that mercilessly dissects the absurd pretensions of a tiny group of frauds. The frauds offer NOT ONE WORD in response.
awww, remind me what movie I saw that in. It had Gwenyth Paltrow in it.
