Hudson Entertainment, developers of Bomberman and the Mario Party series, has offered a sneak peek at a Nintendo Revolution project. The information appeared in a pre-E3 press release, previewing some of the things that will be on show. There was little else to do with Nintendo contained in the press release.
The project is being tentatively called "Flight Game", and Hudson claim that you'll be able to "take to the skies in a way never before experienced on any home console". The motion sensitivity of the Revolution controller is used to give players complete control of the plane as they pilot their way through acrobatic flight maneuvers, including sky artistry and bomb drops.
This is all that is known for now, but it could be speculated that this is describing a new version of Pilotwings, since Hudson are a trusted partner of Nintendo. It may also be an update of old Hudson game 'Dog Fighter'.

Now, the thing I'm wondering is, how is the revolution supposed to register a loop with the remote? Surely if you turn the sensor away from the tv, the Revolution stops registering for a while.

I believe it doesn't use the pointing device alone, it uses gyroscopes (or some other thing similar) as well. I'd think this means it can sense tilting, twisting, shaking, pointing, etc..

Right, could very well be. Although I thought gyroscopes were too expensive.

The sensor on the front of the remote is, in my guess, purely an infra-red one to power the Revolution on/off. Other than this, everything else will run wirelessly al-la the Wavebird. The controller will not have to point at the TV or the Revolution for anything other than turning it on or off: twisting of the controller will likely work as pre Wario Ware Twisted (little gyro's within the cart/controller) and the rest of 3D space movement will be picked up by the sensor bar which will sit under your TV and be connected directly to the console (likely wired I'd say).

i wonder what would happen if you were to violently shake the controller in ways that a plane can not move.

The revolution controller works in 3d space, its not like it will stop working if your mum walks in front of the tv. No reason why line of sight is needed from the front of the controller.

Could Flight game = Pilot wings?!
To some degree, it could make sense. Maybe i'm looking too much into it though. But using the revmote as a plane, could be useful. Maybe it could be something like Toy commander on the DC. Flying a wind up plane around a house and completing Toy Story like tasks?

From the news story itself. I'm betting it is Pilotwings.
