  2. Sensory illusions in aviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_illusions_in_aviation

    The head-up illusion involves a sudden forward linear acceleration during level flight where the pilot perceives the illusion that the nose of the aircraft is pitching up. The pilot's response to this illusion would be to push the yoke or the stick forward to pitch the nose of the aircraft down.

  3. Spatial disorientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_disorientation

    The Inversion Illusion results from a steep ascent followed by a sudden return to level flight; the resulting relative increase in forward speed produces an illusion the aircraft is inverted. [8] The Head-Up and Head-Down illusions are similar, involving sudden linear acceleration (Head-Up) or deceleration (Head-Down), leading to a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-up_display

    In contrast to most HUDs found in aircraft, automotive head-up displays are not parallax-free. The display may not be visible to a driver wearing sunglasses with polarised lenses. Add-on HUD systems also exist, projecting the display onto a glass combiner mounted above or below the windshield, or using the windshield itself as the combiner.

  9. Pitch-up - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch-up

    A commonly used solution to pitch-up in modern combat aircraft is to use a control-canard. [9] Another modern solution to pitch-up is the use of slats. When slats are extended they increase wing camber and increase maximum lift coefficient. [10] Pitch-up is also possible in aircraft with forward-swept wings as used on the Grumman X-29. With ...
