(Video) Boeing 717 Stall during test flight
Amazing video of a recovery after an unusual attitude during a stall test. (vimeo.com) Más...Oops!!
Wow... That is quite radical... I expected a good stall but WOW! Not something you want to do on a regular basis...
Agreed! It looked like they had it fully cross controlled so it was going to go around pretty good when it broke.
Nearly 10,000' of altitude lost. Whew!!
The only thing that saved them was starting it at 15,000. To level the wings inverted and pull through was very close to being dead wrong. Push and roll level is what was called for unless they intended to test the dive characteristics of the aircraft.
Normally, I think so, but with the nose pointed straight down and inverted there is nothing to roll towards so at least some pull is required in order to get to the horizon. Although I can't answer if more "g" is placed on the airframe from straight pulling or pulling with bank on? Been inverted intentionally with crossed controls and a very quick flick, but not in a transport aircraft.
Either way... It would definitely not included in the class of normal operations.
"Rolling G" limits are normally less than horizontal pulls. I think it's more the stress on the wing(s) than the fuselage.
