Some more context - drone racing requires the pilot to be explicitly smoothing their turns to the optimum to maintain speed during the maneuver. Check out “freestyle FPV” for better examples of “acute turns”. I fly a 5” freeestyle quad quite a bit, and it’s extremely common to let it fall in a ballistic arc until a few feet above the ground or an obstacle, then shoot off in a different direction. The thrust to weight ratio of these things is just incredible.
