Nowadays most people travel by flight. But do you know how many degrees a flight can turn? Actually, after the incident of air turbulence in the London to Singapore flight, people are constantly trying to know about flights on social media. Some users also say that if an emergency situation arises, can’t the pilot turn the flight 360 degrees? Today experts will tell you how many degrees a pilot can turn the flight in an emergency situation.

When you travel in a flight, all the responsibilities of the flight are in the hands of the pilot. It is noteworthy that a woman had died after air turbulence occurred in a plane flying from London to Singapore. After which people from all over the world are asking many questions regarding the flight on social media.

Regarding turning the flight, pilot and aerospace engineer Richard P. Anderson said that it is a matter of practice. He said that if there is no practice then even small stunt planes and fighter jets cannot do any barrel roll. Because to do this a skilled pilot will be required. Anderson said that I know some pilots who could barrel roll even heavy commercial flights. The most famous pilot to do this in a commercial flight was Alvin Melvin Tex Johnston. Boeing’s trainee pilot Johnson made a 360 degree turn in the flight in the summer of 1955.
According to the Los Angeles Times, he did a barrel roll twice to impress Boeing officials who were watching from a boat on Lake Washington near Seattle. This is a stunt in which the pilot turns the plane 180 degrees and climbs. However, weather, gravity and speed matter for this. Anderson said that the size of the plane does not matter as much as the pilot’s ability to control the gravitational force on the plane during the roll. If a pilot can control the gravitational force, he can do anything. However, this is quite dangerous. According to information, most pilots have been trained to turn at 60 degrees.
