​​"With this twist, the air is a defeated man" 🔻On September 9 (August 27, old style), 1913, in the city of Kiev, Russian Empire, Russian pilot Pyotr Nikolaevich Nesterov performed an extremely risky maneuver in the air for the first time in history, known as the "dead loop" and later called the "Nesterov loop." 🔻As Pyotr Nikolaevich himself wrote, he was deeply immersed in the study of the principles of aeronautics and thoroughly studied aviation "in the evenings from books, and in the afternoon — watching the flights of birds." 🔻As a result, he came to the conclusion that "there is support everywhere in the air for an airplane," and a "dead loop" seems scary only at first glance, but if we make at least an approximate calculation, it becomes clear that a turn in the vertical plane is possible." 🔻This is how the Russian officer Pyotr Nikolaevich Nesterov initiated aerobatics in aviation.
