Basic fighter maneuvers (BFM) are tactical movements performed by fighter aircraft during air combat maneuvering (also called ACM, or dogfighting), in order to gain a positional advantage over the opponent.
基本戰機機動(BFM)是戰鬥機在空中格鬥時所進行的戰術機動(又稱ACM，或者狗鬥)，其目的是為了獲得比對手更好的位置。
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.
Maneuvers are used to gain a better angular position in relation to the opponent.
They can be offensive, to help an attacker get behind an enemy, or defensive, to help the defender evade an attacker's weapons.
They can also be neutral, where both opponents strive for an offensive position, or disengagement maneuvers, to help facilitate an escape.
