Yeah it can actually do it. I heard that the Blackhawk can also do it but I've never seen a video of it pull it off.

A inverted Helicopter generates no Lift, so in theory it should fall like a stone. Perhaps carried by its own momentum, but Helicopters dont fly that fast in general, I would have wagered it would have stalled out before it reached the apex of the loop.

Apparently some four bladed helicopters can pull it off but no two blade helicopter can. Not something I can confirm but I did read that somewhere years ago. |
