68. An aircraft can perform aerobatic manoeuvres in a vertical loop because of A.Gravity B.Centripetal force C.Weight D.Centrifugal force
Option A Solution: 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.
