LETs teach you some moves!!!
1. AIR COMBAT MANOEUVRES
IMMELMAN MANOEUVRE
The immelman is a high-thrust, vertical reversal. Effected by pitching the nose up, low-thrust aircraft usually execute one-half of a loop and terminate the manoeuvre at a higher altitude, inverted, flying the opposite direction. High-thrust jets broaden the manoeuvre by climbing pure vertical, using an aileron roll during the climb, then complete the half loop. This effectively allows the aircraft to make square corners in the horizontal by displacing the vertical.
SPLIT-S MANOEUVRE
A split-S is a diving half loop. Rolling inverted and pulling back on the stick causes the aircraft to dive. Maintain back pressure until the aircraft levels out heading in the opposite direction.
The split-S gains speed quickly. Besides diving, rolling inverted adds the aircraft's lift vector to gravity, thus increasing acceleration. On the down side, the increased speed increases vertical turning radius. Start a split-S from low altitude or maintain too much speed during the dive and the aircraft won't be able to pull out.
