Tex Johnson, test pilot, once did a barrel roll in a Boeing 707 as an unauthorized demonstration. Airbus, apparently, doesn't like to be one-upped, did a special roll of their own.

Enjoy. :)

From what I understand, any airliner is capable of acrobatic maneuvers, due to the the envelope of their engineering. So although these demos are impressive, they aren't particular to a specific model.

Its just the ones that they show off for us...

As long as they are essentially 1G rolls, yes.

That's what makes this video so special. That's obviously not a 1G roll.

Yes, I agree, that was not fair. It was effective, but not fair. With that title I couldn't not, not click on it.
