Aerobatics

Aerobatics refers to the skilled performance of maneuvers in an aircraft beyond normal flying. This includes loops, spins, rolls, and other advanced moves that demonstrate the pilot's control and the aircraft's capabilities. Aerobatics can be competitive, with pilots judged on precision and execution during routines, or performed in airshows for entertainment. The practice requires extensive training, as pilots manage high speeds, rapid changes in direction, and significant gravitational forces, all while ensuring safety for themselves and spectators. Aerobatics showcases the artistry and technical proficiency of flying, as well as the limits of aerodynamics.
