The Yeager loop is a starship maneuver that is typically performed by five ships.
According to Wesley Crusher, the ships performing the maneuver "begin in a diamond slot formation. They climb and loop backwards at a steep angle, at the peak of the loop, all five ships flip over and accelerate in a new direction."
The maneuver was performed by Nova Squadron in 2368, aboard their Academy training craft, as a prelude to their infamous recreation of a Kolvoord Starburst. (TNG: "The First Duty")
According to Star Trek Encyclopedia, the Yeager loop was named after test pilot Chuck Yeager.
