split S

The different types of split S can be associated with medical conditions:

He instantly made a Split S maneuver and narrowly escaped.

Big rolled over and did a split S, pointing the nose of the Tomcat at the ground.

The I-16 was surprised and made a split S maneuver, but crashed at a corner of the airfield.

The Split S is taught to be used in dogfighting when the pilot has the opportunity to withdraw from battle.

The Split S is an air combat maneuver mostly used to disengage from combat.

His first was the split S; he should have spiraled down to convert his energy advantage to a lethal position advantage.

When the pulmonary valve closes before the aortic valve, this is known as a "paradoxically split S".

The Split S is also called a reversed Immelmann turn, or can be listed with a hyphen Split-S.

Captain Christopher Stricklin attempted a "Split S" maneuver based on an incorrect mean-sea-level altitude of the airfield.

Only executing a "Split S"; a long curving dive that the Spitfire could not follow, could his aircraft escape back to France at low altitude.

However, the Split S without a beginning half-roll was frequently used in early WWII by German pilots seeking to evade British fighters.

He performed a split S as he headed down toward the power lines, hoping to avoid Thud and Stamp as they locked their radars onto his fleeing airplane.

Now, Roy pulled out of an Immelmann, split S and zapped another Quadrono just as he saw Kramer zoom past with a Zentraedi on his tail.

To execute a Split S, the pilot half-rolls his aircraft inverted and executes a descending half-loop, resulting in level flight in the exact opposite direction at a lower altitude.

German fighter pilots not wishing to fight would perform the first half of a Split S and continue into steep dives because they knew the Lightnings would be reluctant to follow.

In basic terms, they are very similar maneuvers, both accomplishing the same goal, but the Split S exchanges altitude to gain speed, while the Immelmann turn exchanges speed to gain altitude.

The reason for starting the Split S maneuver from the inverted position is "If you are flying straight and level and push the nose of the plane down, you will experience your weight lessening.

Sometimes called a "reverse" or "inverted" Immelmann is the Split S maneuver, which is a half-roll followed by a descending half-loop, resulting in level flight in the exact opposite direction at a lower altitude.

Now a half loop and half roll at the top, fly along straight and level for a count of five, roll again and half turn into a lopsided split S, one offset from the vertical by forty-five degrees.

Immediately after takeoff, Stricklin attempted a "Split S" maneuver (which he had successfully performed over 200 times) based on an incorrect mean-sea-level elevation of the airfield, 1100 feet (335 m) higher than the home base at Nellis.

The Split S, being a descending maneuver, means that the pilot must always ensure that he/she is starting high enough to complete the half-loop; the exact altitude needed depends on factors like the aircraft's speed, weight and manoeuverability, likewise the terrain below the plane.

If splitting does not vary with inspiration, it is termed a "fixed split S" and is usually due to a septal defect, such as an atrial septal defect (ASD) or ventricular septal defect (VSD).

These include altered heart sounds, such as a widely split S or second heart sound, a loud P or pulmonic valve closure sound (part of the second heart sound), (para)sternal heave, possible S or third heart sound, and pulmonary regurgitation.

Solos: Thunderbird 5 takes to the air next performing a clean low altitude aileron roll followed by 6 who performs a split S climbing in a near vertical maneuver rolling over and diving back toward show center pulling up just above the runway and exiting in the opposite direction.
