VTPR means “Voltige Très Près du Relief” in French and “aerobatics very close to the ground” in English. It is a style of aerobatic slope glider flying originating in France. VTPR aerobatics are flown at extremely low altitude and touching the tail, wing or belly of the glider on the ground are signature moves of the flying style.

VTPR is one of the most challenging types of slope aerobatics. It requires excellent piloting skills as well as a specialized, lightweight glider with a rudder and equal performance whether upright or inverted.
