In September 1913, Pégoud rolled his aircraft onto its back and became the first pilot to fly inverted — helping invent the loops, rolls and side-slips we now call aerobatics. When war came, he became the world's first fighter ace: the pilot for whom French newspapers coined the word ace.
That refusal to accept the horizon as a limit is the idea behind everything to come.
A NAME RETURNS TO THE SKY
Some pilots flew straight. One flew every other way.
PÉGOUD takes its name from Adolphe Pégoud, the French aviator who turned early flight into something closer to art. Now it is coming back — with an instrument made for the way he flew.
