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.
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 ...
The Coriolis effect is a concern for pilots and astronauts, where it can cause extreme disorientation. [14] [15] [5] [16] [17] This happens as pilots turn or rotate their aircraft, while also turning their head.
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 ...

The brownout phenomenon causes accidents during helicopter landing and take-off operations in arid desert terrain. Intense, blinding dust clouds stirred up by the helicopter rotor downwash during near-ground flight causes significant flight safety risks from aircraft and ground obstacle collisions, and dynamic rollover due to sloped and uneven terrain.

Dua Lipa fans have shared their reactions to a scene in her new music video that sees the singer propelled into the air above a swimming pool.. Lipa, 28, released “Illusion” and its ...
The attitude indicator (AI), also known as the gyro horizon or artificial horizon, is a flight instrument that informs the pilot of the aircraft orientation relative to Earth's horizon, and gives an immediate indication of the smallest orientation change. The miniature aircraft and horizon bar mimic the relationship of the aircraft relative to ...
