The split S is an aerobatic maneuver and an air combat maneuver mostly used to disengage from combat. To execute a split S, the pilot half-rolls their aircraft such that it becomes inverted and executes a descending half-loop, resulting in level flight in the opposite direction at a lower altitude.
