The "Immelmann turn" is a common maneuver in aerobatics and is often associated with aviation rather than a specific sport. This aerial technique involves a half-loop followed by a roll, resulting in a quick change of direction. It allows pilots to effectively reposition themselves in combat or display situations, demonstrating agility and control. While not exclusive to any sport, the maneuver showcases skills seen in aerobatic flying, air shows, and some military training exercises.
