Default RE: manuverable vs acrobatic

To me maneuverability is rate and aerobatic is vector. Rate is acceleration in the 3 axis. Vector is speed and direction.

A plane is highly maneuverable if it can accelerate quickly in any axis. This does not mean it has to be a fast plane. Aerobatics means grace and speed that can be changed in any direction precisely.
