Wing Over | |||
| The Wing-Over is a competition manoeuver in glider aerobatics. You pull up and at the same time bank the plane. When the bank increases past 45°, the nose will start to drop while the bank keeps increasing and the plane keeps turning. Halfway through the manoeuver, the plane has turned 90°, the fuselage is level with the horizon and the bank is 90°. The plane is above the original flight path. The nose then keeps dropping below the horizon and the plane keeps turning, while the bank is shallowed. When the bank drops below 45°, the nose is pulled up towards the horizon and the plane reaches horizontal flight with wings level after 180° of turn. At the completion of the manoeuver, the plane is at the same altitude as on entry and flying in the opposite direction. | ||
