NO! Cheetahs cannot change direction in midair. It is physically impossible to change direction in midair without applying some opposing force. Cheetahs can, however, twist their bodies to change their orientation in midair, but their direction of travel remains the same until their feet hit the ground.

The "weird but true" fact proposed by National Geographic is a misleading statement. Cheetahs cannot change direction in midair, but they can twist their orientation, which is not weird or remarkable, as many people and animals can accomplish this same maneuver in a similar manner.
