  Aerobatics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soon after aircraft were invented, pilots realised that they could be used as part of a flying circus to entertain people or impress others in what was termed aerobatics.
Aerobatics is taught to military fighter pilots as a means of developing precise flying skills and for tactical use in combat.
Low-level aerobatics are extremely demanding and airshow pilots must demonstrate their ability before being allowed to gradually reduce the height at which they may fly their show.

 Aerobatic Flight
Aerobatic flight, a specialized area of general aviation, is defined as “precise maneuvering in three-dimensional space.” Maneuvering is broken down to three components—position, velocity, and attitude.
An aerobatic aircraft with sufficient thrust to briefly “hang” on its propeller for a moment is soon overcome by engine torque that, in turn, rotates the aircraft.
Striving to minimize their risks, professional aerobatic pilots have honed their skills with years of constant practice and through an in-depth understanding of both the physics of flight and the performance characteristics of their specific type of aerobatic aircraft.

 SnapRoll-Sukhoi | Aerobatic Terms
Buried - A term for an aircraft too deeply in a stall during a snap roll, causing it to lose too much energy by the time the maneuver is complete.
Hammerhead - An aerobatic maneuver in that begins with a quarter loop into a vertical climb until the aircraft runs out of speed, followed by a 180-degree pivot on the plane's vertical axis into a nose-down dive, ending with another half-loop.
Spin - In aerobatics, an intentional spin is a maneuver in which the plane rotates along its vertical axis.

 How to Shop for Aerobatic Training
For instance, just as it would be imprudent to fly in the clouds in an aircraft not equipped to handle flight in Instrument Meteorlogical Conditions, it would be equally imprudent to attempt spin training in an aircraft in which spins are not approved, or with an instructor who has minimal experience spinning a particular aircraft.
FAR 91.319 (a) (2) prohibits the use of experimental aircraft for compensation or hire; therefore, formal aerobatic training may only be conducted in certificated, production aircraft (Exception: owners of experimental aircraft may receive dual instruction in their aircraft).
The overall cost of aerobatic training is influenced by the type of trainer used, the reputation and geographic location of the school, and the experience of the instructor.
