List of aerobatic aircraft
An aerobatic aircraft is an aerodyne (a heavier-than-air aircraft) used in aerobatics; for flight exhibitions, military and civilian display teams, and aerobatic competitions.
Most aerobatic aircraft fall into one of two categories: standard aircraft used for training and by flight demonstration teams, which are often standard trainers or fighters; and single-purpose aircraft especially designed for aerobatics, usually at the expense of other attributes, such as stability, carrying passengers or endurance.[1] Dates listed are of the types' maiden flight.
