  2. Maneuvering speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuvering_speed

    V A is the design maneuvering speed and is a calibrated airspeed.Maneuvering speed cannot be slower than and need not be greater than V c. [4]If is chosen by the manufacturer to be exactly the aircraft will stall in a nose-up pitching maneuver before the structure is subjected to its limiting aerodynamic load.

  3. Basic fighter maneuvers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_fighter_maneuvers

    Maneuvering planes, showing oblique and vertical turns. Maneuvers are rarely performed in the strictly vertical or horizontal planes. Most turns contain some degree of "pitch" or "slice". During a turn in an oblique plane, a pitch turn occurs when the aircraft's nose points above the horizon, causing an increase in altitude.

  4. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    Speed at which exceeding the limit load factor may cause permanent deformation of the aircraft structure. [7] [8] [9] [24] V O: Maximum operating maneuvering speed. [25] V R: Rotation speed. The speed at which the pilot begins to apply control inputs to cause the aircraft nose to pitch up, after which it will leave the ground. [7] [26] [Note 1 ...

  5. Supermaneuverability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermaneuverability

    Pugachev's Cobra maneuver is one of the tests for supermaneuverability, here performed by an Su-27. Supermaneuverability is the capability of fighter aircraft to execute tactical maneuvers that are not possible with purely aerodynamic techniques. Such maneuvers can involve controlled side-slipping or angles of attack beyond maximum lift. [1]

  6. Air combat manoeuvring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_combat_manoeuvring

    A United States Marine Corps F/A-18A Hornet engaged in air combat maneuvering training with IAI Kfir and F-5E Tiger II aggressors near Marine Corps Air Station Yuma in 1989. Air combat manoeuvring (ACM) is the tactic of moving, turning, and situating one's fighter aircraft in order to attain a position from which an attack can be made on another aircraft.

  8. Cobra maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_maneuver

    In aerobatics, the cobra maneuver (or just the cobra), also called dynamic deceleration, [1] among other names (see Etymology), is a dramatic and demanding maneuver in which an airplane flying at a moderate speed abruptly raises its nose momentarily to a vertical and slightly past vertical attitude, causing an extremely high angle of attack and making the plane into a full-body air brake ...

  9. Flight envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_envelope

    The leftover 40 hp is all that the aircraft has to maneuver with, meaning it can climb, turn, or speed up only a small amount. To put this in perspective, the C150 could not maintain a 2 g (20 m/s²) turn, which would require a minimum of 120 horsepower (89 kW) under the same conditions.
