You can do positive G manuvers with ANY engine all day long, as long as you don't unload, the airplane dosen't know the difference. The weight vector will always be out of the belly. |
Weight always points down, the weight being mass*gravity. The radial (centripetal) acceleration will point inward from the plane to the center of the circle. Centrifugal force opposes this force and points outward. if you sum the centrifugal force and the weight, that will point out the belly in a coordinated turn.
