Tie - Breakers
1. Now you see me
X is a dramatic and demanding maneuver in which an airplane flying at a moderate
speed suddenly raises the nose momentarily to the vertical position and slightly
beyond, before dropping it back to normal flight. It uses potent engine thrust to
maintain approximately constant altitude through the entire move.t is an impressive
trick to demonstrate an aircraft's pitch control authority, high angle of attack (AOA)
stability and engine-versus-inlet compatibility, as well as the pilot's skill.
It has been speculated that the maneuver could theoretically be useful when a
combatant is being pursued closely by an opponent at a somewhat higher altitude.
By executing X, a sufficiently closely pursued aircraft may suddenly slow itself to
the point that the pursuer may overshoot it, allowing the previously pursued aircraft
to complete X behind the other. This may give the now-pursuing aircraft an
opportunity for firing its weapons.

The maneuver is named after the Soviet test pilot Viktor Pugachev, who
performed it in 1989 at the Paris Le Bourget air show

  • 58. 1. Now you see me X is a dramatic and demanding maneuver in which an airplane flying at a moderate speed suddenly raises the nose momentarily to the vertical position and slightly beyond, before dropping it back to normal flight. It uses potent engine thrust to maintain approximately constant altitude through the entire move.t is an impressive trick to demonstrate an aircraft's pitch control authority, high angle of attack (AOA) stability and engine-versus-inlet compatibility, as well as the pilot's skill. It has been speculated that the maneuver could theoretically be useful when a combatant is being pursued closely by an opponent at a somewhat higher altitude. By executing X, a sufficiently closely pursued aircraft may suddenly slow itself to the point that the pursuer may overshoot it, allowing the previously pursued aircraft to complete X behind the other. This may give the now-pursuing aircraft an opportunity for firing its weapons.
