Axial Roll

This type of roll is one where the aircraft’s fuselage remains exactly on the line of flight while the wings roll about it. Except for a very few jet fighters at high speed (the F-5 for one), no full size aircraft can perform a true axial roll. Most aircraft, especially trainers, roll about the line of flight, called a Barrel Roll.
