Sorry I didnt even read the knife edge part, I tend to overlook things in parenthesis.
I was referring more to the original question bellow even though I quoted you on that one hahaha.
I was wondering is it safe to roll into a 60 or 70 degree bank in a cessna 152 or 172?
Now I'm assuming the original poster wasn't planning on doing knife edge flight, but I could be wrong since he only said bank.

But in a scenario where a pilot enters into a steep level turn there would be that angular acceleration, correct?

So back to your original post:

How can a 60 degree bank level turn be initiated and maintained without there ever being any acceleration? If you do that at VNE the slightest accel. could over stress the plane.
