Planes intended for aerobatics usually have stronger airframes to take
the g's involved in flick movements, and sometimes have engines
capable of a little (or long) inverted flight.
Some cessna 150s were beefed up as "Aerobat 150s".
It is true that a smooth barrel roll can keep even a 'utility' rated
airframe inside its safety envelope.
