1. Stall turn<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aircraft starts in level flight, noses up to a vertical flight path until it comes to a stop. At which point the model aircraft yaws through 180 degrees, then dives and finally recovers straight and level on a flight path in the opposite direction to the entry. Entry and exit should be at the same height. Low powered aircraft types would be expected to execute a shallow dive at full throttle in order to pick up the necessary speed before commencing the maneuver.<\/p>\n

Purpose:<\/strong> Regaining offensive position<\/p>\n

2. Herbst maneuver (J-turn):<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Herbst Maneuver, or Herbst Reversal, is another classic post-stall maneuver.
\nThe goal of the maneuver is quite simply to reverse the aircraft\u2019s heading angle and to complete the reversal at the same point and velocity that the maneuver was started from. The maneuver typically resembles the one illustrated in the following figure: the aircraft pitches to a high AOA to stop the forward component of its velocity, puts in rudder at the top of the climb to point the aircraft down, and then dives to regain speed as it returns to the starting point.<\/p>\n

Purpose:<\/strong> Enables a rapid direction change<\/p>\n

3. The scissors:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rolling scissors is an extended maneuver characterized by the two fighter aircraft involved spiraling around each other in an attempt to maneuver into a good firing position (typically above and behind the opposing fighter). This is done by one of the fighters pulling up to climb and reduce speed, so that they cross above the flight path of the opposing fighter. The high fighter then pulls down and towards the opposing fighter as quickly as possible to get into a firing position. If a shot is not possible for the diving fighter (or unsuccessful), then the roles of the fighters reverse. This cycle would then continue until one of the fighters either has a successful shot, or disengages from the maneuver and escapes.<\/p>\n

A) Horizontal scissors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purpose:<\/strong> Get a defending plane behind an attacking plane on the rear<\/p>\n

B) Horizontal rolling scissors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

Same occurrence conditions plus High G barrel roll
\nAds to the normal scissors the barrel roll. The tactics are the same as described above.<\/p>\n

Purpose:<\/strong> Get a defending plane behind an attacking plane on the rear<\/p>\n

4. Cobra<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cobra is a classic post-stall maneuver. The two primary characteristics of this maneuver are 1) a rapid pitch-up to near 90\u00ba AOA and 2) a rapid decrease in velocity by 50-75%. (The latter is due to the fact that the aircraft is flying through the air on its tail when at 90\u00ba AOA, and therefore is incurring a huge drag penalty.) The maneuver also results in an increase in altitude due to the lift generated at AOA values greater than zero.<\/p>\n

Purpose:<\/strong> Force overshooting and get behind the Attacker<\/p>\n

5. Kulbit:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

An aircraft could shoot an opponent directly behind them by extending the Cobra past 90\u00ba to 180\u00ba. The aircraft actually pitches all the way from 0\u00ba to 360\u00ba AOA while flying in a nearly straight line \u2013 except for the altitude increase, as before with the Cobra.<\/p>\n

Purpose:<\/strong> Force overshooting and consequent positioning for missile shot.<\/p>\n
