Aerobatics is a form of flying that involves performing maneuvers in the air, such as loops, rolls, and spins. These maneuvers are executed by skilled pilots using specially designed aircraft, often called aerobatic planes. Aerobatics can be performed for entertainment, competition, or training purposes, showcasing the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's skill.
Aerobatic competitions are held worldwide, where pilots are judged on their precision and creativity in executing various maneuvers. The International Aerobatic Club (IAC) is one organization that promotes aerobatic flying and organizes events. Safety is a crucial aspect of aerobatics, as pilots must be well-trained to handle the complexities of these aerial performances.
