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 ...
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]
Pugachev's Cobra; the nose of the aircraft is pulled up suddenly. The aircraft pitches up to 90–120° angle of attack. The nose then falls back to the horizontal, and the aircraft accelerates away in the original direction ; Kulbit; post-stall maneuver similar to Pugachev's Cobra, but going to 360° pitch angle, flying a "loop"
The Kulbit drastically decreases the aircraft's speed and could theoretically be used to cause a pursuing aircraft to overshoot its target. The maneuver is closely related to the famous " Pugachev's Cobra " maneuver, but the Kulbit completes the loop that the Cobra almost immediately cuts off.
The “experimental uncrewed aircraft” will be named the X-65, and will use banks of compressed air nozzles to execute maneuvers “without traditional, exterior-moving flight controls” like ...
Viktor Georgiyevich Pugachev (Russian: Ви́ктор Гео́ргиевич Пугачёв) (born 8 August 1948 in Taganrog, RSFSR) is [1] a retired Russian Air Force officer and a former Soviet test pilot who was the first to demonstrate the so-called Pugachev's Cobra manoeuvre to the general public in 1989, flying an Su-27.
A pilot in South Africa made a hasty emergency landing after discovering a highly venomous cobra hiding under his seat. Rudolf Erasmus had four passengers on board the light aircraft during Monday ...
In a statement, the forest service said the aircraft is the smallest in Oregon's fleet of firefighting tankers and can maneuver into hard-to-reach areas to drop its capacity of 800 gallons of ...
