Aero GP is a cutting-edge motor sports series involving high-performance aerobatics aeroplanes racing around a tight circuit at near ground level, dropping bombs on targets and competing in real air to air combat heats. The competing pilots are highly trained military and civilian pilots, from around the globe.
Three primary disciplines in series decide the annual World Champion Flying Ace:
Air Racing: All racing at the same time, between six and eight aircraft reach speeds of 500 kph at just 10 metres above the racecourse.
Air Combat: A real air-to-air “dogfight”. Highly trained pilots take to the skies in an attempt to out-manoeuvre, hunt down and shoot each other out of the sky, in the style of military air combat.
Target Bombing: The competing pilots drop bombs from their aircraft at low altitude, aiming at various targets.
What makes Aero GP unique is that it is the only international, televised event where aeroplanes race simultaneously.
