Stunt Flying
Stunt flying is a form of aviation that involves performing aerial maneuvers and tricks with an aircraft. Pilots, known as aerobatic pilots, execute complex movements such as loops, rolls, and spins to showcase their skills and the capabilities of their planes. These performances can be seen at airshows and competitions, where precision and control are essential.
The aircraft used in stunt flying are often specially designed or modified for enhanced performance. They are typically lightweight and have powerful engines, allowing for quick maneuvers. Safety is a top priority, and pilots undergo extensive training to master the techniques required for aerobatics.
