Aerobatics can be fun. Aerobatics can be dangerous. Some may be just crazy! But they're cool to watch and interesting to find out how they work. That's why I put videos, pictures, and more on this page!

Aerobatics was invented in 1913 by Adolphe Pégoud.During a parachute jump he saw his Blériot XI carry out a complete loop. A few days later he carried out the first loop recorded in history. After that, many pilots tried to mimic his feat, only to fail. Many aircraft of the time were brittle wood and cloth planes that could not stand the G forces generated by loops and other aerobatics. But during World War II, planes were used as arms and planes became more solid and powerful. During the conflict, pilots began using aerobatics to escape enemy fire and destroy the enemy in what is know as a dogfight. New figures were invented like the Immelman, named after the German pilot Max Immelman.

After the war, pilots made demonstrations at airshows. New innovations made it possible for planes to fly on their backs longer, allowing for more complex moves like the Inverted Loop in 1927 by Doolittle.In the thirties pilots were distinguished like Marcel Doret.
After the second World War, aerobatic skyrocketed. Legendary planes like the Stampes SV4, Cap 10, Yak, Sukhoi 26, 29,and 31 were built.
Then, as the world dove into the new millennium, Eric Vazeille and Catherine Maunoury became famous in 2000.
Today, there are many aerobatic pilots like Patty Wagstaff and her Extra, which is probably one of the most popular aerobatic pilots.
