Basic fighter maneuvers (BFM) are tactical movements performed by fighter aircraft during air combat maneuvering (also called ACM, or dogfighting), to gain a positional advantage over the opponent. BFM combines the fundamentals of aerodynamic flight and the geometry of pursuit, with the physics of managing the aircraft’s energy-to-weight ratio, called its specific energy.
Two great pillars have always been at the base of dogfights: the ONE CIRCLE FIGHT, also called “radius fight” or “nose to nose fight”; and the TWO CIRLCE FIGHT, also called “rate fight” or “nose to tail fight”. These represent two fundamental concepts of the doctrine that has reigned since the birth of aviation and that remain valid today.
