Supermaneuverability is the quality of aircraft defined as a threshold of attitude control exceeding that which is possible by pure aerodynamic maneuverability; in other words, a controlled loss of control beyond normal abilities. It is a trait of some advanced fourth-generation and 4.5-generation fighter aircraft which has become standard in fifth-generation aircraft such as the F-22 Raptor and the Russian Sukhoi PAK FA (T-50), the Su-30 and the Su-30MKI. Post-stall technology is increasingly used in recent years to advance supermaneuverability by the use of vectored thrust in 4.5 and 5th generation aircraft.
