Frolov Chakra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Frolov Chakra is a maneuver where an aircraft, such as the Su-37 performs a mid-air somersault of sorts. It is performed by following the standard procedure for a Cobra, but instead of snapping back to level flight it continues to pull the nose further back, at one point flying tail-first.
