The moment of inertia was demonstrated by famed test pilot Janusz Żurakowski in the Meteor, vertical climb to zero airspeed, close one throttle, allow the aircraft to rotate in yaw through 540° back into a vertical dive and recover, the maneuver required a load of under wing rockets to give it the necessary angular momentum to get through the 540°. Earned the name "Zurabatic Cartwheel".
