Fieseler (aerobatics)

Fieseler (aerobatics)

A Fieseler is an aerobatic maneuver named after Gerhard Fieseler. The pilot puts the aircraft into a vertical climb, then quickly points the nose straight down into a dive, pulling out at the same altitude as the maneuver started, but with the nose of the aircraft pointed in the opposite direction.
