Bell maneuver
Seeing this scene through the binoculars, Jiang Si's heart pounded, and her palms were sweating with nervousness.
However, before she could calm down, Huo Tingzhou suddenly braked mid-air.
The fighter jet suddenly switched to an inverted flight pass, followed by a small-angle change of direction maneuver.
After flipping horizontally, the aircraft moved slowly at a near-stationary speed.
This maneuver not only tests the pilot's flying skills, but also their mental fortitude and their ability to flexibly control wind speed.
At this moment, suppressed gasps of surprise rose from the stands.
Next, the aircraft began another round of vertical acceleration.
After reaching a certain altitude, Huo Tingzhou once again maneuvered the fighter jet to perform a backflip and turn around.
Things can change in an instant!
Just after the plane completed the somersault, the fuselage seemed to suddenly lose horizontal speed.
The nose of the aircraft also began to sink continuously!
"What's wrong with the plane? It feels like it's about to crash."
More and more people in the stands noticed something was wrong and cried out in alarm.
Everyone in the operations room broke out in a cold sweat.
Unlike the military families in the stands who only had a superficial understanding, their daily work involved dealing with flight training.
So it was immediately obvious that this was not a simple loss of control, but rather the aircraft entering a stall spin.
This is also known as the 'falling leaf' motor.
This requires the pilot to control the aircraft from a non-flight state, using the control surfaces to make the aircraft descend slowly around the vertical axis like a falling leaf.
This maneuver is extremely difficult; if not handled carefully, the aircraft will stall.
Even experienced veteran pilots wouldn't dare to try it lightly.
Just as everyone's hearts were in their throats, Huo Tingzhou quickly steered the plane into a dive.
It then performed a series of rolls during its dive.
However, the game wasn't over yet!
After accelerating again, the plane performed three consecutive rapid 180-degree flips in both directions.
The competition ended with a breathtaking low-altitude flight.
The entire venue fell silent.
It took more than ten seconds to react, and then bursts of applause erupted from the stands and even the entire training room.
Enduring!
At this moment, Jiang Si's heart was pounding, and her feelings were extremely complicated.
In an instant, a mix of emotions—excitement, pride, worry—made her stand up without realizing it.
