To perform acrobatic maneuvers in an aircraft; to engage in aerobatic flight.
From aero- (air) plus -bate (from acrobate, one who performs acrobatics). Created in the 20th century as aviation terminology.
When pilots aerobate, they're using the third dimension in ways ground-based acrobatics can't match—barrel rolls, loop-de-loops, and spins exploit gravity and air forces in dizzying combinations.
