Aviation equipment are constantly evolving and improving.In the early twentieth century, when the main task for the pilot was up in the air, held there for a certain time, and then land safely, the concept of aerobatics was very conditional, and the flight itself - a risky, if not adventurous.

citizen of our country can be proud of the fact that the founder of aerobatics was the Russian pilot Pyotr Nesterov.Citizens of Ukraine can also be pleased that the historic event in Kiev.In 1913, on September 9, in the new style, the brave airman first time in the world to accomplish the maneuver, before the "dead loop".Anyone who tried to carry it out, perished because of handling structural failure of the aircraft, but "Nieuport-4" Nesterov survived.Helped calculations, our brave was also a good mathematician.Thus, the phrase "loop Nesterova," became the name of the first aerobatics.This concept is a trajectory along which the airplane fly, sometimes quite complex.

Time does not stand still, as well as the achievements of civilization.As the technical capabilities of aircraft and their flight characteristics, there are other aerobatics.Already in the thirties, their development has become an obligatory element of pilot training and use in combat conditions - the key to air superiority.

During the war in Spain, and later during World War II, pilots warring parties actively used "horizontal eight" dive, "roller coaster", fighting spreads, "barrels", "spiral", "loop" and othersaerobatics, possession of which was already a matter of life and death.

As often happens, the armed conflicts have become a stimulus for the development of both the technology and the qualifications of its members.With the advent of jet aircraft, which coincided with the Korean War, the question of improving the art of control of the aircraft in a high-speed maneuver battlefield.There are new aerobatics performed at transonic speeds and with different angles of attack.So it was during the Vietnam War, and during the Middle East conflict.

At a high-level detection capabilities of aircraft air defense forces, the importance acquired aerobatics allowing deceive radars, such as the "Cobra" or "bell", but they are not available to all planes, and the ability to perform a strictly individual for eachtype machines.

To demonstrate the capabilities of military equipment are indicative aerobatic teams, such as the "Russian Knights", "Swifts" us or "Thunderbirds» («Thunderbirds») in the United States.They also exist in other countries.Participation aerobatic teams in air shows and parades invariably attracts the attention of the audience.The most modern aircraft in its "command" color, usually bright, managed the best pilots and their skill level has been brought to the art.

At the same time has not lost its relevance and piston aircraft, because airplanes with screw engine has its advantages, it is very important for the sport.They are more maneuverable, although not as high speed.

Each aerobatics ace-made athlete, is the sea of ​​delight from the audience airshow.
