Aerobatics is the practice of flying maneuvers involving aircraft attitudes that are not used in normal flight.[1][2] Aerobatics are performed in airplanes and gliders for training, recreation, entertainment and sport. Some helicopters, such as the MBB Bo 105, are capable of limited aerobatic maneuvers.[3]
Most aerobatic maneuvers involve rotation of the aircraft about its longitudinal (roll) axis or lateral (pitch) axis. Other maneuvers, such as a spin, displace the aircraft about its vertical (yaw) axis.[4] Maneuvers are often combined to form a complete aerobatic sequence for entertainment or competition.
Aerobatic flying requires a broader set of piloting skills and exposes the aircraft to greater structural stress than for normal flight.[5] In some countries, the pilot must wear a parachute when performing aerobatics.
The Indian Aerobatics Team ::
PERFORMANCE ::
On an average, the team performs over 30 shows a year, and flies three sorties a day during the training season and two a day whilst on aerobatics display. The nine aircraft take off in groups of three and join up in close formation, maneuvering between speeds of 150 to 650 km/h with their wing tips less than 5 metres apart.
The maneuvers subject the pilots to alternating g-forces between +6 to 1.5.[2]
The team has performed at all Aero India's to date, as well as during the International Fleet Review in Mumbai in February 2001. It has also performed in various cities, right from South India, to Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir.
The team, under leadership of Wing Commnader Amit Tiwari, performed abroad for the first time in Colombo, Sri Lanka, to mark 50th Anniversary Celebrations of their Air Force.
In February 2004,Suryakirans lead by Wing Commander S Prabahkaran enthralled audiences at Asian Aerospace-2004 air show in Singapore.
The team, under the command of Wing Commander S Bansal, made its debut in Malaysia in December 2007 at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) 2007 from 04 Dec to 08 Dec, on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of Malaysia's Independence. Whilst in Malaysia, the team also displayed at Subang airfield of Kuala Lumpur on 29 Nov 07.[3]
On December 11 12, 2007 The Indian Air Force Aerobatic Team "SURYA KIRAN" in coordination with the Royal Thai Air Force conducted a nine-aircraft Aerobatic display to commemorate the 80th Birth Anniversary of His Majesty the King of Thailand.
This display was witnessed by the Chief of Royal Thai Air Force. In November 2008, the team was invited to participate in Zuhai Airshow, China. Suryakirans were the only foreign participants in this airshow.
The team displayed on all five days of the airshow. Their displays were highly appreciated by everyone.On the return from China, the team displayed in Laos as well. {{cite news | title = Celebrations Galore on the Auspicious occasion of His Majesty's 80th Birth Anniversary.
