Dzień dobry, chodzi tu pewnie o jakiś akrobacyjny manewr w dziedzinie lotnictwa, niestety nie mam pomysłu jakby to miało brzmieć po polsku...
Z książki, fragment opisujący misję Gemini 10 gdzie wykonano taki manewr- But I was a "real" astronaut now, and I began a lifetime of explaining "what it was like up there." My first formal opportunity was at our post-flight press conference, where John had the impossible task of clarifying, in layman's terms, the reasons behind our out-of-plane whifferdill and its exorbitant fuel consumption.
In astronautics, a whifferdill is a maneuver used during orbital rendezvous when the target is on a different orbital plane from the piloted vehicle.

Gemini-10 (the infamous "whifferdill")
The series of rendezvous and docking operations in 1966 is thendiscussed. Hacker describes the Gemin-8 docking with the Agena, thenthe complex planning for Gemini-9 and the way it actually turned out,then the same process for Gemini-10. A more detailed discussion of therendezvous problems on Gemini-10 (the infamous "whifferdill") ispresented based on an astronaut's memoirs and on post-flight studies

The astronauts trained for this possibility aboard the TDS by making a helix-shaped approach to the target, known as a whifferdill in the tradition of pilots at air shows, to correct the error that had placed it off to the Agena’s side. - https://oaktrust.library.tamu.edu/bitstream/handle/1969.1/16... - page 137
