Answer» Gravity It happens because of gravity. A key feature of super maneuvering aircrafts is a high thrust-to-weight ratio; that is, the comparison of the force produced by the engines to the aircraft’s weight, which is the force of gravity on the aircraft. A thrust-to-weight ratio greater than 1:1 is a critical threshold, as it allows the aircraft to maintain and EVEN gain velocity in a nose-up attitude; such a climb is based on sheer engine POWER, without any lift provided by the wings to counter gravity, and has become crucial to AEROBATIC maneuvers in the vertical LOOP. |
