message: Should the page mention the difference between the two? Many people think that an aileron roll is a barrel roll.   
: More than half of the rolls described in the article are not barrel rolls. Including the definition at the head of the article. The "stupid" definition (i.e. misuse of the term) seems to be better suited to the simpletons that write (and read) Wikipedia. Maybe they don't like simply calling a roll a roll ... it somehow sounds better as a "barrel roll" even if that's not what it is. It's probably a waste of time to try to make the article conform to what a barrel roll really is. Some brain donor is sure to come along almost immediately and "correct" it back to the bullshit definition. You can't keep The Stupid from taking over Wikipedia; it seems to be what it's for.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.207.225.70 (talk) 00:29, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

message: The instructional portion of this section is in violation of Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information of WP:NOT, under subsection 4, "Instruction Manuals". Step-by-step instructions are considered unencyclopedic by official policy, but it would be acceptable to reword it in a less instructional tone ("The person to perform the barrel roll approaches a jump with both hands held at shoulder level, then throws his or her right arm toward their left hip", etc.). ~ Eidako 02:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Barrel roll on skis 

message: The combat manuever described has a link to overshoot but the aviation definition of overshooting, as it says is to abort a landing. Which doesn't make sense, so either the definition of overshoot need to be adjusted or the link should go, because it's just confusing.Atzel 18:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: As is so often the case with Internet memes, 4chan gets the credit/blame. Suffice to say, somebody made the mistake of asking /b/ for advice, and "Do a barrel roll" was one of the few non-obscene replies. Unfortunately, this leaves us with the usual dearth of citable sources for anything 4chan-related. — Red XIV (talk) 10:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahh, you gotta love Anonymous, eh?  What about rebooting the router to get a new IP?  That is often referred to as a barrel roll... I suppose we don't have cite able sources, so I'll throw that out there and be back later with sources.204.49.209.155 17:50, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

text: See Do a barrel roll. The meme has nothing to do with the real thing, so it's in the game article where it belongs. Besides, the meme hasn't even been a thing for well over a decade now. Zaereth (talk) 23:29, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

message: The YouTube video of the 707 barrel roll, while difficult to see, doesn't seem to show the craft with it's nose "at 90 degrees to the general path of flight" at any point. Is it necessary to be at fully 90 degrees, as described, at some point before the maneuver is considered a barrel roll? 65.174.156.30 (talk) 17:38, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Aileron roll includes an 'execution' section describing, generally, how one performs an aileron roll. Would a similar execution section be appropriate her for the barrel roll? 65.174.156.30 (talk) 17:43, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

message: It might be worth mentioning a canopy roll here. This is typically a roll over the top of an aircraft to get on the other side, although it is sometimes used just to provide lateral displacement. Barrel roll attacks and high-g barrel rolls rely on such lateral displacement to place the aircraft from its projected flightpath onto a new flightpath at a different angle, although a canopy roll usually places the aircraft on a new flightpath at the same angle. A true barrel roll will place the aircraft back on the original flightpath. I'll try to locate some references for a canopy roll, but it's usually a military maneuver and so does not seem to be well documented. I'll keep looking.
The animation here shows a canopy roll rather than an actual barrel roll. If someone can make a new animation that shows how a true barrel roll looks it would be helpful. I don't have a clue how to do animations. Zaereth (talk) 01:17, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: It's already mentioned in the article, although it's not because of Star Fox but rather the other way around. (The makers of Star Fox were just as confused as most other non-pilots.) The mention of Star Fox has been added and removed countless times due to it's irrelevance to real aerobatics. Zaereth (talk) 19:17, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
