Russia's Yakovlev MC-21-300 airliner performed a "wingover" or "combat turn", a complex aerobatic maneuver typically reserved for military aircraft.
The maneuver involves a steep climb with a constant pitch angle, followed by a sharp directional change at the peak without losing altitude—commonly used in combat operations.
According to Russia's Rostec corporation, the aircraft was not carrying any payload and was only partially fueled to enhance its thrust-to-weight ratio, ensuring the safety and success of the demonstration.
