Unreferenced date March 2008 Cleanup rewrite date May 2009 Aerial Observer Air Force Reconnaissance . An Aerial Observer is the functional position of gathering information visually from an airborne platform for use by military or commercial purposes. This history started when the first balloons were flown in Europe. In the early twentieth century it developed with the invention of biplanes and mono winged aircraft. During World War I and II there was a tremendous amount of intelligence gathered through these means. These crewmembers would use optical and photographic means to record their observations. In the Vietnam War , aerial observers also might be Forward Air Controller s FACs . These O 1 Bird Dog , O 2 Skymaster and OV 10 Bronco pilots would slowly fly over an area and direct bombing by radio to fast moving jet aircraft. Observer is the Royal Navy s term for its Fleet Air Arm navigator radar weapons system operators, both in two seat fixed wing combat aircraft such as the Sea Vixen and F 4 Phantom II F4K Phantom and anti submarine helicopters such as the Westland Lynx . The US Navy s equivalent is the radar intercept officer RIO . Although today sometimes a manned aircraft is still utilized, industry and the military use both satellites and remotely piloted vehicles RPV for this function.

During execution of a standard cartwheel, the performer s body is supported by the hands while transitioning through the inverted orientation, whereas an aerial cartwheel performer is airborne while inverted. To compensate for lack of support from the hands, leg momentum is employed to keep the performer airborne until the leading foot touches down. Aerial cartwheels can be executed while running or from a stationary, standing position. Aerial cartwheels are also known by various other names, including side flip , side aerials , no hands cartwheels , or simply aerials .

Image FrontAerial.gif right frame A front aerial , performed as part of an acro dance routine A front aerial is an acrobatic move in which a person executes a complete forward revolution of the body without touching the floor. ref name Murrayp49 Front aerials are performed in various physical activities, including acro dance and gymnastics . The front aerial is known by other names, including aerial walkover and front aerial walkover . Technical The front aerial differs from a flip acrobatic front tuck in that the body assumes a form similar to that of a front walkover , with legs extended and split gymnastics split along the plane of rotation, whereas in a front tuck the knees are bent and held against the chest i.e., tucked so as to maximize rotational velocity . To compensate for lack of support from the floor, as well as the decreased rotational velocity that results from extended versus tucked legs, a front aerial performer uses the inertia of the legs to keep the body aloft until the move is completed. A front aerial can be executed either from a run or from a stationary, standing position. When starting from a standing position, a forward step is typically taken prior to the front aerial in order to develop forward momentum . In either case, at the beginning of a front aerial the performer s forward momentum is converted to the angular momentum needed for execution of the front aerial. Performance requirements Front aerials require a great degree of lower back flexibility anatomy flexibility . ref name Murrayp49 From the moment a front aerial performer leaves the floor until touching down again, the torso must remain in a stationary, inverted orientation while the lower body rotates about the torso. Adequate muscle strength is also required to execute a front aerial ... the performer aloft while the lower body completes its rotation about the torso.

Gymnasts normally perform the twisting with the legs together to obtain a faster spin and more aesthetically pleasing execution. Tricksters normally perform the twisting with the legs apart mainly for style. Many martial arts tricksters first learning this move have a tendency to begin more like a Butterfly Twist butterfly twist than an aerial. In the tricking community, this move can be done from either a running start, a small hop skip, standing, or from another trick in a combo. Variations Hyperswipe This variant of the Aerial Twist is executed the same way as an aerial twist, but normally requires extra height and faster more rotation. The defining difference is that the other leg is thrown out and is used to land on rather than the leg used to take off. Its name is derived from the fact it is a twisting move that lands on the other leg like a Butterfly kick Variants hypertwist and that the ending of it looks almost identical to a sideswipe. Aerial 720 Twist This variant is an aerial twist that rotates an additional 360 . Though in actuality, the practitioner only rotates a total of 540 . It is referred to as an aerial 720 twist because a normal twist that adds an additional 360 is referred to as a Butterfly kick Multi rotation variants 720 twist . An Aerial 720 Twist is considered more difficult because of the added rotation, extra speed and height that are required to successfully land this variant. This move is generally referred to as a Double Aerial Twist or Double A twist. Category Aerobic exercise ... more details
