Definition

'Aerials' refers to devices for receiving radio or TV signals (antennas), or gymnastic or sports maneuvers performed above ground, such as flips or jumps in mid-air.

Usage & Nuances

'Aerials' is plural and context-dependent: in technology, it means antennas, especially in British English. In sports (gymnastics, skiing, cheerleading), it means jumps or flips in the air.
