loop-the-loop
Full aerial rotation
Loop-the-loop is an aerial or roller coaster maneuver where something travels in a complete vertical circle, ending where it began.
The phrase captures the continuous motion—looping back through the loop.
Stunt pilots perform loop-the-loops; roller coasters send riders through them.
The small plane did three loop-the-loops before leveling out.
