| Does anyone here know a referance to find out the roll rate of a harrier, preferable the AV-8B but any would do. |

I'm interviewing a Harrier pilot this week. I'll ask him.
Any particular speeds/configurations/etc to caveat this roll rate? |

| He wasn't sure what the max was, but says they're limited to 360 degrees per second so that it won't get into something like a roll coupling (I can't remember the Harrier's specific term). Basically, the old design of the flight controls means that it is working hard to keep things stable when you exceed 360 degrees. Hence, that's their limit. |
