The "Kulbit" (also known as "Frolov chakra", named after Evgeny Frolov, Russian test pilot) is an aerial maneuver developed by Russian pilots, in which the aircraft performs an incredibly tight diametered loop, often not much wider than the length of the aircraft itself. It is an example of post-stall maneuvering[1], a type of supermaneuverability[1]. Like most post-stall maneuvers, it demonstrates pitch control outside of the normal flight envelope wherein pitch control is made possible by having aerodynamic flow over the aircraft's elevators or stabilators. The Kulbit drastically decelerates the aircraft and could theoretically be used to cause a pursuing aircraft to overshoot its target. The maneuver is closely related to the famous "Pugachev's Cobra" maneuver, but the Kulbit completes the loop that the Cobra almost immediately cuts off. Aircraft known to be able to execute the "Kulbit" The following aircraft are currently known to be able to execute the "Kulbit":  Russia Sukhoi Su-35 Sukhoi Su-35BM MiG-29OVT Sukhoi Su-33[citation needed] Sukhoi Su-37[2]  Russia /  India Sukhoi Su-30MKI  United States F-22 Raptor[3] All have performed the Kulbit in airshow displays in the past. It is rumored that the Sukhoi Su-27 and possibly the Sukhoi Su-34 can also perform the maneuver, though that claim is under dispute[citation needed]. Ultra-modern thrust vectoring aircraft (such as the experimental Russian Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut) should, theoretically, also be able to perform the maneuver[citation needed]. No public record of any other aircraft performing the maneuver has been recorded. The F-22 Raptor demonstrated the Kulbit maneuver at the 2007 Langley demonstration.[3] Further, the F-15 ACTIVE should be able to perform the Kulbit as well.[1] References ^ a b Fighter Technology of the Future ^ SU-37 Kulbit ^ a b Cobra and Kulbit by F-22 External links A page containing a movie file of the Kulbit maneuver (listed as "Somersault, loop min radius") Video showing the Su-30MKI Flanker showing off its Thrust Vectoring and doing a Cobra and a Kulbit v • d • e Aerial warfare Maneuvers Bell tailslide · Chandelle · Cobra Turn · Eights on pylons · Finger-four · Herbst maneuver · Immelmann turn · Kulbit · Pugachev's Cobra · Scissors · Split S · Thach Weave Topics Aerial warfare · Dogfight · Fighter pilot · Post stall · Supermaneuverability
