The Airshow Figures

• Torque Roll  - The NWA signature figure starts with full power 210mph, 7g pull to a vertical climb whilst performing continuous rolls. Our speed will eventually decay and we will fall backwards though the sky whilst still rolling.
• Mulleroid  - The classic airshow opener and extremely challenging to fly. Another max power, high speed, high g pull to a vertical climb whilst rolling. At the top of the climb the aircraft will resemble a frisbee as we transition to an accelerated flat spin to return to our starting altitude (aka the Maverick spin).
• Ruade  - from the French language 'kick from an ass'. Using gyroscopics to play with physics the aircraft is placed into a 45 degree climb on its side (known as knife edge flight) and then tumbled nose over tail.
• Outside Loop -  the most physically demanding manoeuvre, you will be subjected to high negative 'g' loads as the aircraft is pushed upside down around a loop in the sky.
• Flicker Finish  - we'll leave this one as a surprise!!
