VERTICAL PLANE MANEUVERING EGG
2.
"The egg"--represents three dimensional sphere showing
effects of gravity and lift vectors on maneuvering
a.
Vertical maneuvering
(1) Represents theoretical loop in vertical plane at
constant TAS and constant indicated g
(2) Radial g--sum of indicated cockpit g and force of
gravity
(3) When lift vector above horizon (bottom of egg), radial g
lower because of gravity
(a) Larger turn radius
(b) Slower turn rate
(4) When lift vector below horizon (top of egg--fighter
inverted), radial g higher because gravity adds to load
factor
(a) Smaller radius
(b) Faster turn rate
