Drills for Aerial Cartwheel.

An aggressive kick and lifting of the chest is essential.
Arms can either be swung across the chest, or up and back (similar to a Russian lift for fronts on floor). Either way the arms should help lift.
Working on getting the lead leg around quickly is very important. Fast legs and flexible hips is how some can do an Aerial with their nose inches from the floor.
Work areals off a panel mat to develop the feel of the skill while having a little more time in the air.
Work aerials uphill onto panel mats. This forces more lift and kick.
