Flight patterns

  • Horizontal ascension flight


    A flight pattern that ascends up in a straight line. You can see that the airframe pitches up approximately 10 degrees and ascends while maintaining a horizontal state.

  • Lazy eight maneuver


    A flight pattern where an eight is drawn while ascending and descending. You can see that it rotates at a fixed angular velocity while it ascends approximately 20 degrees.

  • 1G roll (45 degree bank)


    A flight pattern where the aircraft rotates while at a 45 degree incline. You can see that 1G is added to the airframe’s Z axis at a 45 degree rotation.

  • 2G roll (60 degree bank)


    A flight pattern where the aircraft rotates while at a 60 degree incline. You can see that 2G is added to the airframe’s Z axis at a 60 degree rotation.
