An aerobatic stunt is an aerial maneuver performed by an aircraft in order to show off its capabilities. Common aerobatic stunts include the LOOP, ROLL, and ZOOM. The LOOP involves the aircraft flying in a circular path, with the nose of the plane pointing up and then down. The ROLL involves the aircraft rotating around its longitudinal axis, creating a full 360-degree turn. The ZOOM involves the aircraft rapidly gaining altitude while maintaining a constant speed. All three of these stunts are popular among aerobatic pilots and can be seen at air shows around the world.
